Evile Bass Player Mike Alexander Passes Away at Age 32

Evile is an up and coming thrash metal band that recently released its second album Infected Nations a few weeks ago. While they have gotten some shit for sounding too much like Metallica and Slayer, I think they are an awesome band.

Today it was announced that bassist Mike Alexander passed away after being hospitalized while the band was touring. I heard a rumor it was from a blood clot, but at this point I'm not sure (UPDATE: Death believe to be cause by a cerebral hemorrhage).

Either way, it's always tragic when someone so young passes away, especially when he is a brother in metal.

Check out the unreleased track "My Parasite" from Infected Nations. I really dig the ending riffs!

RIP Mike Alexander (1977-2009)

EVILE: "Infected Nation" Video

Damn, EVILE release a cool new video for "Infected Nation" that looks and sounds straight out of the 80's (with some modern elements of course). This whole thrash revival thing is bringing out some great bands, let's just hope there isn't a grunge revival after this.

Don't say Alice In Chain's new album will do it or you lose. AIC is more than just another grunge band.

Enjoy the video below and check out "Infected Nations" when it comes out on September 22.
