Canadian heavy metal traditionalists EVIL SURVIVES have recently undergone a major lineup change. Songwriter/guitarist Adrian Riff remains as the only original member with new members yet to be announced. More news as it develops.

Laat year saw the release of their 2008 debut album Metal Vengeance on CD and digital formats for the first time, originally released on vinyl format-only by Canadian label War on Music Records.

According to a press release, "Evil Survives has gained a reputation as a ripping live act, with piercing croons, guitar heroics, shotgun bass, and wild antics. Taking the torch from those who came before them, Evil Survives are positioned to become a leading force for the fight for the rightful return of heavy metal… and the execution of false metal everywhere."
