English thrashers Evile are gearing up for their sixth full-length effort, The Unknown, scheduled to arrive tomorrow (14th) via Napalm Records. Today (13th), the group has dropped a music video for their eerie new single, “When Mortal Coils Shed.” 

Frontman OL Drake comments:

“The third single from ‘The Unknown’ is ‘When Mortal Coils Shed’. We haven’t done a ballad since ‘Tomb’ on the 2013 album ‘Skull’, and I only like to do them when it feels right; and this one felt very right. The song grew from the main clean riff and I felt the need to make something out of it. Once the lyrics needed writing, it became apparent that a subject close to me and the band would fit. This song is for everyone who has lost someone close to them and the struggles that come with the acceptance of losing them. Even years after they’ve left us, they’re still missed, and the longing to be back at a time when they were still with us or for them to be back with us now is prevalent in our everyday lives. Enjoy.”
