nové album "The Unknown" od skupiny Evile je dosť odlišné od predošlej rýchlej a energetickej tvorby a musím napísať, že po prvom vypočutí ma aj zaskočilo. Áno, sú na ňom aj rýchle dve Thrash Metal -ové piesne, ale prevažná časť albumu sa nesie v strednom až pomalom tempe, pričom piesne sú hutné a miestami sa aj postupne rozvíjajú. Čo musí uznať každý (či už sa mu album páči alebo nie), novinka má silný, razantný a hutný zvuk. Nástroje majú čitateľné ozvučenie a gitary, basa alebo aj bicie majú výborný zvuk a výborne zvládnutú tvrdosť.
Album mi pripomína doby, keď viaceré Thrash Metalové skupiny v minulosti chceli vyskúšať niečo iné a začali experimentovať (každý svojím spôsobom). "The Unknown" kombinuje prvky US Power/Heavy a Groove Metal -u, pričom mne sa daná kombinácia páči. Výraznou zložkou je samozrejme aj spev, ktorý zneje chlapsky, má stredné frázovanie a dáva dôraz na jednotlivé slová. Ako je tu aj nižšie poznamenané v hodnotení od iných fans, album pripomína najviac nahrávky od "Metallica - ...And Justice for All" alebo z môjho pohľadu aj "Megadeth - Youthanasia". Podarené, aj keď odlišné album.

코멘트로 쓰려다가 글이 조금 길어져 리뷰로 옮깁니다.

나 진짜 EVILE 좋아하는데.. 이번엔 솔직히 좋은 평을 주기가 힘들다. 정통 스래쉬를 좋아해서 그런가.. 이런 이도저도 아닌 애매한 변화는 그닥 좋아하지 않는편인데, 이번에는 조금 루즈하고 지루한 앨범을 들고 나왔다.

전작이었던 Hell Unleashed를 나를 비롯한 우리나라 팬들은 꽤 좋게 들었던 것으로 알고있는데, 해외에선 완급조절 없는 1000개의 여타 스래쉬메탈 밴드랑 비슷하다. 그냥 무식하게 달리기만 한다. 이런 평가를 많이 내렸더라. 그래서 그런건지 몰라도 이번작 The Unknown은 질주감보다는 그루비함과 완급조절에 초점을 맞춰서 발매하였다. 근데 완급조절도 완급조절 나름이지 이런 애매한 앨범은 환영하기가 좀 힘들다. 어느쪽으로도 감상포인트를 잡기 힘들기 때문이다. 모르겠다. 나만 이런걸 수도 있는데 나는 EVILE 하면 시원시원함을 기대하는 그런쪽으로 이미지가 이미 잡혀있어서 이 앨범은 나에게.. 좀 어렵다.

솔직히 다음에는 팬들의 평이고 나발이고 그냥 전작처럼 후들겨 패주는 작품으로 복귀했으면 좋겠다.

I have heard the album several times and it still reminds me of the fourth album by Metallica - ...And Justice for All. I prefer their previous albums, as there are more fast passages, but this is also a good album.

Hell Unleashed의 Evile이 아니다. 이건 Groove Metal이라고 하기에도 애매한 그냥 느린 메탈

전작을 듣고 꽤나 기대했는데 처음 1,2트랙을 듣고나서 밴드명을 다시 확인해봤다,, 납득이 안간다, 납득이,,,,
