Against Evil is an old-school heavy metal band from Visakhapatnam, formed in 2014. Influenced by Judas Priest, Accept, Iron Maiden and Megadeth, their sound blends traditional heavy metal with thrash, speed and power metal.
After the Fatal Assault EP (2015) on Transcending Obscurity, the band signed with German label Doc Gator Records and went on to release three full-length albums: All Hail the King (2018), End of the Line (2021) and Give ’Em Hell (2024). They tour Europe regularly, most recently a 20-show run in 2025.
