Evil Island have announced their debut album.
The supergroup — Johnny Whitney, Cody Votolato and Mark Gajadhar of The Blood Brothers, Autry Fulbright II (formerly of OFF! and …And You Will Know Us By the Trail of Dead) and Todd Weinstock (formerly of Glassjaw) — will release 'Terraform The Afterlife' on August 14 via Blowed Out Records.
Produced by Ross Robinson, it features 13 tracks, as well as cast of guest vocalists, including Alexis Krauss of Sleigh Bells, Michael Gatto of XCOMM and Fugazi's Guy Picciotto, who hasn't sung on a record since the final Fugazi album, 2001's 'The Argument'. Whitney said:
"Evil Island was born out of the firestorm of creative energy that Cody, Mark and I felt when The Blood Brothers reunion tour ended in 2024. My brain was on fire, I was gripped with a kind of mania. I had so many ideas rattling around in my skull that if I didn't make something new with my friends, the psychic damage probably would've manifested as some exotic form of cancer.
"I knew our story wasn't over. More importantly, I knew our particular strain of feral pop hardcore felt more necessary than ever given that the world is boiling in bullshit. So we wrote eleven songs, brought Ross Robinson into the fold, then Autry joined the band, and suddenly everything locked into place.
"With 'Terraform the Afterlife', we let Ross completely off the leash. What was supposed to be a two-week recording session turned into a five-month descent into something far bigger than we imagined. We built a musical world that’s dazzling, violent, joyful, ugly, melodic, brutal and somehow still coherent. We put every drop of ourselves into this record. 'Terraform the Afterlife' is the most creatively gratifying thing I’ve ever been part of, these songs will be fucked into my skull forever."
Alongside the announcement, the band have shared Animal, a blistering post-hardcore track that's packed with jagged guitar riffs and catchy hooks.
