MAR 01 2020 NEW BASSIST ANNOUNCED
EVIL DRIVE announces new bassist Matti Sorsa. Evil Drive is currently recording their third album and Matti will play all the bass lines for the forthcoming album. Matti has showed that he is the right man for the job. The new album will be released world wide via Germany based label Reaper Entertainment Europe.
Matti Sorsa: It is such a great opportunity in life to join a band that I first discovered back in 2013, when I heard their demos on the internet.For me It was love at first sight(or should one say after first listening). Bands main influences could be heard such as Iron Maiden, Slayer etc.Both of them my personal favorites. It is a real dream come true to have a change to join the band that I have been fan for many years.
Viktoria: The band is now twenty years younger than on the previous album. New members have brought lots of positive energy to the band and both of them are excellent musicians. The co-chemistry is better than ever before, which is really important in a band.

JANUARY 1 EVIL DRIVE SIGNS WITH REAPER ENTERTAINMENT
EVIL DRIVE - sign with Reaper Entertainment & announce new album
REAPER ENTERTAINMENT proudly announces the signing of the Finnish female-fronted metal band EVIL DRIVE. The band was formed in January 2013 and since then plays melodic metal, with a twist of thrash metal and strong female vocals.
The band states:
"After lengthy negotiations, Evil Drive is today proud to announce the signing of a record deal with German Reaper Entertainment Europe -label. Reaper Entertainment was chosen because of the best deal and shared interests considering the longevity of the co-operation and the best possible future for the band. We believe that with the help of the Reaper people, Evil Drive will reach a whole new level as a band and the future looks very bright for us. However, we want to thank everyone who has supported us over five years already. We are also eager to meet new Evil Drive fans and supporters all around the world. We hope to see you all soon!"
Greg from REAPER adds:
"We are absolutely proud we get the chance to sign such a brilliant band as EVIL DRIVE. It's an honor to welcome them to our young and fast-growing REAPER-family. To get the chance to work with such talented and promising artists is always amazing. We are really looking forward to this new signing and EVIL DRIVE's upcoming release, so should you!"
The sold-out debut album "The Land Of The Dead" was released in January 2016 and manages that EVIL DRIVE becomes one of the most talked of bands in the underground. Their unique blend of melodic death metal with thrash metal elements and strong female vocals have quickly made them a favorite for fans and critics alike.
