Age of Evil to release new album

AGE OF EVIL PROVE AGE DOESN’T MATTER, ROCK FEROCIOUSLY ON ‘GET DEAD’ E.P DUE NOVEMBER 17TH, 2009!

It seems like whenever a rock or metal band comprised of still-school-attending teenagers hits the scene, it’s easy to simply write them off as a gimmick. This certainly is not the case with the Scottsdale, Arizona-based Age of Evil, who easily keep pace with the big boys on their latest release, the six-track EP, ‘Get Dead.’

Picture vintage crushing thrash metal with sweeping Iron Maiden-esque guitar harmonies, and you’re not far off from what the group (which is comprised of two brother teams) - singer/rhythm guitarist Jeremy Goldberg (age 19), lead guitarist Jordan Ziff (18), bassist Jacob Goldberg (18), and drummer Garrett Ziff (20) - specialize in.

“We are so fortunate for our band to consist of two sets of brothers,” explains Jeremy. “But anyone who knows us will tell you that it’s really four brothers. The band would be completely different if we were all separate dudes and I think it is safe to say that Age of Evil would not be Age of Evil with anyone missing.”

And according to Jordan, the idea of forming Age of Evil was a long time in the making.

“We've all known each other since we were very little, and we always wanted to be in a band together.”

If you’re looking for a total ass-kicker of a recording, ‘Get Dead’ wastes little time, as such ragers as “Cruel Intentions” and the title track, “Get Dead,” quickly prove. Add to it spot-on covers of Skid Row’s “Slave to the Grind” and Judas Priest’s “Electric Eye,” plus two live tracks (“Eye for an Eye” and “Glimpse of Light”), and you’ll understand why ex-Megadeth guitarist Marty Friedman has praised the band, saying “They have the ‘new/old school’ sound down to a science and have considerably upped the ante for metal of the future.”

With ‘Get Dead’ hot off the press, Jacob gives a hint as to what the group’s future plans are - “Complete world domination and intergalactic domination once we find some damn aliens.”
