Evildead

Article summary

Evildead is an American thrash metal band formed in Los Angeles in 1986. The band consisted of former members of Agent Steel and Abattoir, including guitarist Juan Garcia, who is their only remaining original member. During their initial nine-year run, Evildead released two studio albums: Annihilation of Civilization (1989) and The Underworld (1991). Evildead suffered from extended inactivity due to lineup changes and problems with making a third album, which resulted in their breakup in 1995. After a reunion from 2008 to 2012, the band reformed in 2016, and has since released two more studio albums: United $tate$ of Anarchy (2020) and Toxic Grace (2024).
