Up-and-coming Death-Thrash quintet Common Evil hail from Gippsland, Victoria (Aus).
The group boast a distinct, powerful feel to their live performances that, paired with their old school style, punishing riffs and raw songwriting approach result in a devastating sound heavily influenced by the 80/90’s metal scene.
Influences such as Slayer, Exodus, Megadeth, Pantera, Cannibal Corpse, Death and Kreator, as well as a nod to the newer sound of Death and Hardcore bands such as Power Trip, Drain and Skeletal Remains can all be noted.
Formed in 2018, the wheels didn’t start rolling until a crushing first performance at Whole Lotta Love Bar in Brunswick, Melbourne in January of 2024 and then a slew of other performances in Fitzroy, Northcote, Brunswick, Geelong and a hometown gig in Traralgon.
The momentum kept rolling with the recording and release of their first single ‘Disturbing the Peace‘ in September, 2024.
In fall 2024 they released their Self-Titled EP.
