M-PIRE OF EVIL - New Song 'Hellspawn' Available For Streaming

M-PIRE OF EVIL (formerly PRIMEVIL) — the band formed by Jeff "Mantas" Dunn (guitar) in 2010 with fellow ex-VENOM members Antony "Antton" Lant (drums) and Tony "The Demolition Man" Dolan (bass, vocals) — will release its full-length debut, 'Hell To The Holy', on March 26 via Scarlet Records. The CD boasts 10 brand-new tracks displaying the band's infectious and groovy heavy metal assault, conveying Mantas' thunderous riffs, a huge rhythm section and Dolan's abrasive vocals into a monstrous musical holocaust which will appeal to both old-school and modern metal fans. 

Produced by Mantas himself and featuring stunning cover artwork by Gyula Havancsák (ANNIHILATOR, DESTRUCTION, GRAVE DIGGER), 'Hell To The Holy' is without any doubts a "must have" album for 2012. 

A North American tour with British thrash legends ONSLAUGHT has already been confirmed but many more dates will follow soon. 

Despite having played on the album, drummer Antony "Antton" Lant (ex-VENOM) has since left the band for personal reasons but a replacement for the tour will be announced soon.

01. Hellspawn
