Evil Invaders

Evil Invaders to release 'Shattering Reflection' album in April

Evil Invaders are back and deliver a remarkably melodic and extreme heavy metal masterpiece!

Belgian metal front-runners Evil Invaders are ready to unleash their third album, 'Shattering Reflection', on April 1, 2022 via Napalm Records.

It took the band almost five years to craft a new record and it has been undoubtedly worth the wait. Evil Invaders have found the perfect balance between fast, mid and slow tempo songs focusing on strong choruses, touching lyrics and even some progressive touches that will grab every heavy metal fan by the throat and screaming for more.

Evil Invaders' 'Shattering Reflection' is promising to be a game-changer for the Belgian 4-piece as the band seems to have found their own formula to turn heavy metal into another extreme direction. 'Shattering Reflection' takes off with a fast heavy metal banger 'Hissing in Crescendo', followed by the epic anthem 'Die for Me', already destined to become an Evil Invaders' all-time classic. A calmer side is explored on tracks like mid-tempo opus 'Forgotten Memories', creating a dense, heavy wall of sound with piercing vocals and ditto lyrics underlined by guitar solo virtuosity. That thrilling epos stands in line with 'In Deepest Black', which showcases even more how the band has managed to craft a pure classic heavy metal anthem with melodic guitar lines and catchy choruses, creeping relentlessly into the listeners' head. It also proves how Joe has matured as his vocals have entered a whole new dimension, both in the high and the low ranges. On the contrary, 'Sledgehammer Justice' is a furious outburst of classic thrash/speed metal in which the Belgian quartet goes full throttle with hammering rhythms and guitar solo madness! Another album highlight is the dark opus 'The Circle', creating a horrifying atmosphere with stomping drums and excellent guitar lines. Fans of King Diamond will definitely dig this one! Throughout the album the band manages to keep the balance between fast extreme heavy metal with sharp shredding and mosh-worthy tracks, as well as very melodic, more intense and chorus-oriented mid-tempo anthems.
