Evildead

California's Evildead are an uncompromising thrash group who first emerged in 1989 with the neck-snapping Annihilation of Civilization. The band has undergone numerous lineup changes over the decades, with co-founder and guitarist Juan Garcia serving as the sole constant. After releasing The Underworld in 1991, Evildead went on an extended studio hiatus that ended in 2020 with the arrival of its long-awaited third long-player, United States of Anarchy. The group continued to refine its classic West Coast thrash sound on 2024's hard-hitting Toxic Grace.
