EVILDEAD was formed in 1987 with the intention to create heavy music in the Thrash Metal vein.
The EVILDEAD sound was unique; highlighting a blend of Speed and Thrash Metal guitar riffs along with hyper drumming locked in with an over the top thundering bass with Punk overtones, and lyrical themes that explored political, thought provoking social ideas; mixed with horror, and nuclear war themes.
In 1988, EVILDEAD signed a worldwide recording contract with SPV/Steamhammer and released the "Rise Above" EP featuring two original tracks; along with a cover version of the BLACK FLAG anthem "Rise Above". In the summer of 1988, EVILDEAD entered Music Grinder recording studios with producer / engineer Cacey McMakin (NUCLEAR ASSAULT, KREATOR) to record the classic full-length album "Annihilation Of Civilization".
In 2019, EVILDEAD secured a new recording deal with SPV/Steamhammer for their upcoming release, titled "United $tate$ Of Anarchy". It will feature nine studio tracks plus a metalized cover version of the B-52’s "Planet Claire" as a bonus track all produced by Bill Metoyer. Seminal artist Edward J. Repka has once again illustrated the cover of the new album. With "United $tate$ Of Anarchy", EVILDEAD have returned more powerful than ever and awakened again to annihilate the masses.
"United $tate$ Of Anarchy" will be released as a CD DigiPak version, LP version, download and stream on October 30 via SPV/Steamhammer.
