Evil Strikes Again!
This is the title to Jackdevil's second album, to be released by the brazilian label Urubuz Records, and defines the essence of this new record in an elementary way. The sonic atmosphere in "Evil Strikes Again" runs through both the classic and the innovative, with lyrics inspired by all the chaos and darkness that submerges our "Brave New World."
The lyrics that dive deep in the circle of everyday terror are still present in the band's work, be it through the imaginary or the real, as is the case of the track "Black Witch" - which expands on the story told by the track "Vixen of Satan", from the band's previous album - or in "Death by Red Lights," a song that narrates the story of one of Brazil's most notorious serial killers, the Red Light Bandit.
The instrumental of "Evil Strikes Again" was produced to sound as a truly metallic explosion, full of an even more savage and agressive speed metal than what was observed in the debut album, "Unholy Sacrifice" (2014). In this new work, Jackdevil highlights the vital existence of heavy metal in its purest form - we believe that the affinity with fast riffs and raw songs represent the musicality of the brazilian Thrash Demons.
The experiment of adding more weight and energy to each song will be clear in the first hearing of the album. With 11 tracks, this second full-length was completely produced and composed by the band members. The process of recording, mixing and mastering was authored by Filipe Stress (drums). The graphic artwork was once again done by Ronilson Freire - who did the artwork for Unholy Sacrifice and is responsible for drawing the comic book hero Green Hornet - with the editing assistance of André Nadler (vocals/guitar).
In four years on the road, Jackdevil has released one material per year - including the demo tape (Under the Metal Command) and the EP (Faster than Evil) - and now the time has come for the official announcement of the second complete album, which is due out in July 2015. "Evil Strikes Again" will be another full-length dedicated to those addicted in the metal we make and, without a doubt, this record will reflect all the energy and personality of our music.
It is said that lightning doesn't strike the same target twice, but when it comes to Jackdevil this saying goes down, for evil always strikes again! The place is here, the hour is now, and this is the prelude to another journey through the shadows and all the speed present in heavy metal. Welcome to EVIL STRIKES AGAIN!
"The Evil is Watching You... Evil Strikes Again!"
