DELIVER US FROM EVIL

Biography

Deliver Us From Evil, a metal band from Southern Indiana, has been destroying the Midwestern region for 5 years now.

One listen and you'll realize the music speaks for itself. Armed with brutal guitar riffs, technical percussion, thick bass grooves and throat shredding vocals, all at lightning speeds and stupifying precision, anyone will notice Deliver Us From Evil is a force to be reckoned with.

Breaking venue barriers in their local area and having a significant role in solidifying their metal scene, Deliver Us From Evil has been building momentum in other states as well. Recently, the band has opened for national acts such as, Obituary, Diecast (Century Media), Sworn Enemy (Century Media), In This Moment (Century Media), Daath (roadrunner), Yakuza (Prosthetic), Origin, Goatwhore (Metal Blade), Destroy Destroy Destroy (Metal Blade), Drowning Pool, Unearth (Metal Blade) and The Black Dahlia Murder (Metal Blade). All of which have commented on how Deliver Us From Evil are the best independent metal act that they had seen on their tours thus far. They also played Main Stage the 2007 Milwaukee Metal Fest with God Forbid. And just recently Indianapolis Metal Fest with the likes of Obituary, Alabama Thunderpussy, and Daath. After touring in the Midwestern states and most of the South, the band has developed a die-hard fan base in Indiana, Kentucky, Illinois, Wisconsin,Michigan, Tennessee, Georgia, Florida, and North and South Carolina.



Deliver Us From Evil has also sold over 800 copies of their debut album Behold A Pale Horse and have recently recorded a three song EP at Audiohammer Studios in Sanford Florida with the Producer/Engineer Mark Lewis.

"It takes balls for five white dudes from Indiana to name their EP after a Maya Angelou poem. But I’ve been enjoying Deliver Us From Evil’s Still I Rise EP so much, they could have just as well called it The Autobiography of Malcolm X and it wouldn’t have bothered me that much. And, despite what their name or the name of their EP might suggest, they’re not a Christian ‘core band. They wouldn’t seem out of place on a tour with the band DÅÅTH, or Lazarus A.D., or some NWOAHM bands - Basically, they’ve ingested a whole lotta the heavier side of thrash, groove, melodeath, and probably some anthemic arena rock, and now spit it back out as something, well, kick-ass. Still I Rise is just three songs long, coming in at under eleven and a half minutes of music, so I’ve already listened to it like eighty trillion times. It’s easy to leave that fucker on repeat and just completely lose track of time as you induce whiplash from too much head banging.(And it’s worth mentioning that some of the band’s merch is pretty sweet – and if you buy it now, you’ll be able to claim you’re sick of these dudes by the time they get really big, like a really tr00 cooler-than-thou and in-the-know snob!)"

"Of all the hundreds upon thousands of upcoming metal acts around the globe that I have checked out on Myspace this year, I can say that there is not one that has hit me dead smack between the eyes with its literal uncanny ability like Deliver Us From Evil has done. They incorporate with true gusto the best elements of metal from the past and what is most appealing today. They cannot be labeled very easy due to this. They are not another Lamb of God imitator, nor are they at all classifiable as Nu Metal. The band is made up of Jeff Thomas on bass, Alex Morgan on percussion, John Matheis playing lead guitar and one of the more talented screamers in the underground game today, Brent Vaughn on vocals. I wanted to provide everyone with more insight into this extremely gifted metal act's background and what can be expected in the future." - Rocket www.metalunderground.com

"From Evansville, Indiana, comes Deliver Us From Evil, a no-nonsense bulldozer of death metal. I saw them play at the Saint Andrews Pub Band Battle and I was like, Whoa. The guitarist threw out some ruthless riffs that were very creative, difficult and melodic and reminded me of King Diamond Arabic-styled 'old school' solos. I'll book 'em to the Hill soon. - Eddy from News From The Pit www.louisvillemusicnews.net

On the fearsomely enjoyable Behold A Pale Horse (Self-Released/2008), a professionally assembled eleven song collection of complicated riffage and double-bass driven Heavy Metal, each track, beginning with the skillfully constructed "Ashes Remain", "Profit", and the wickedly majestic "Surviving The Storm", instantly grabs the listener by the throat with a solid-flow of steady, irresistably rocking grooves that make this material as unshakeable as a bad drug habit. Follow this up with a both primal and chillingly driven, "Words Of War", the crushing "Diabotic", and the adrenaline-soaked, fist-pumping "Empire", one is hard pressed to come upon a more headbanging debut effort, rounded all out with the jack-hammering final three tracks: "Habit", "Conquering All", and the purely engrossing, 'harmonic-rapture' of "Until Tomorrow". - Randy "Rocket" Cody www.themetalden.com
