Belgian band Evil Invaders are one of the most well-known and high-energy speed/thrash metal acts on the contemporary European scene.
Formed in 2007 in Leopoldsburg, they have built a reputation over the years as a wild and uncompromising live band whose performances burst with energy and the raw power of the 1980s. Their style is a mix of speed and heavy metal with thrash and black metal overtones, often compared to early Exciter, Razor, Agent Steel, and Judas Priest’s Painkiller era.
The vocals of frontman Joe (Johannes Van Audenhove) are high-pitched, screaming, and theatrical, while the guitar work is packed with fast solos and classic metal charm.
So far, the band have released several notable records, including:
Evil Invaders (EP, 2013)
Pulses of Pleasure (2015)
Feed Me Violence (2017)
Shattering Reflection (2022)
The band is known for constant touring across Europe and appearances at festivals such as Wacken Open Air, Graspop Metal Meeting, and Alcatraz Festival, where they have earned cult status among old-school metal fans.
