26 September 2011 - Europe
Five Serpent's Teeth is the third album by the English thrash metal band Evile. It was released on 26 September 2011 in Europe and on 18 October 2011 in North America The album was produced by Russ Russell (Napalm Death, Dimmu Borgir) at Parlour Studios, Kettering, England. It is the first album not to feature original bassist Mike Alexander, who died while on tour just weeks after the release of Infected Nations. It is the first album to feature bassist Joel Graham. On 6 June, the band posted a new song, "Eternal Empire", on their YouTube Channel. The album's full track listing was announced on 21 June 2011 and the album's artwork was unveiled on 6 July 2011.
On 31 May 2010, Evile revealed that they'd begun working on their third studio album.Ol Drake confirmed this via TwitLonger on 9 November 2010 and wrote that "Album 3 is well on the way and will be out on Earache Records in mid 2011".
On 9 February 2011, the band debuted a new song at a show in Manchester under the working title of "Bitch". On the weekend of 19 March, Evile entered the studio to begin recording the album with producer Russ Russell. During the recording process, the band also periodically posted videos from the studio. On 25 April, the band announced that their 3rd album was fully mixed and awaiting mastering.
In May 2011 Evile announced that they would pay tribute to their fallen band mate, Mike Alexander, on the latest album. The track was entitled "In Memoriam". Ol Drake commented:
It goes without saying that there would be some element of the new album which was for Mike alone. We had a few ideas floating around which were out of the ordinary for Evile, and when Mike passed away those ideas just started to make more and more sense. "In Memoriam"'s initial intention was for Mike and Mike alone. All of us in the band have different views and thoughts on what the song means and who it is for, but it was born out of a want to include something special for Mike, his family and ourselves. As the song grew it started to take on a life of its own, so to speak. It is for anyone who's lost anyone close to them. There is a lot of meaning behind this song, and I expect a few people will question Evile doing such a song, but if the sentiment isn't understood, I couldn't care less. As our producer, Russ Russell said: "It's a brilliant song for a brilliant guy."
