History

Evilthorn was formed in June 2001 by lead vocalist Lee Chao and guitarist Nan Shan.

Evilthorn are considered to be China's best underground Raw Black metal band. Making up their faces in black and white and playing ultra-brutal sounds.

What is special about Evilthorn is that they have no drummer up to now, but instead use a drum machine to generate the hard background sounds.

Their songs are about war and modern warfare, genocide and historical massacres. They receive their energy from the hateress of history and the pain of the death of their ancestors. That is their faith and that is how their music sounds!

Around 2011 the band wend through a series of line up changes.
