We're a metal band...and an industrial band...and a hardcore band...and a all-out crazy band! There really is no generalization for us.
We are the Supervillains of the Southern California Metal scene! Fear us! We are the enigmatic train-wreck wrapped inside the web of your nightmares and uncertainty!

Why this name?
The process of Izevl's name is an enigma of it's own, and we can't even explain it. We didn't name the band. The name named us.
Do you play live?
We play live all around the L.A. area. Some of our best shows have been with the all ages or 18 and over crowds, and not as much in the bar scene. The young people of today tend to appreciate the madness that we are known for...
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
Hey. It's helped us dramatically. We DID get to #1 on the Metal charts on Soundclick, did we?
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Maybe...if there's a label who isn't scared of us...
Band History:
A Post-Industrial heavy trip nightmare that each member thrives upon, Izevl was formed in March of 2003 when they played their first show, the Izevl Evil Carnival. Ever since then, this powerhouse of noise has played most of the clubs in Hollywood as well as the Metal Mindrage II Festival in Maryland and numerous events for Rock City News, including the 2004 Rock City Awards. They were most notorious for playing in a storefront window of a Sunset Blvd. head shop for several Saturday nights in front of thousands of passer-bys. Their music blurs the line between hardcore, Industrial, Electronica, and Metal. Izevl is able to achieve their sonically heavy sound thanks to the historically proven methods of using only 6 string guitars and standard E tuning (7 strings are for pussies). With the formation of "Izevl: Version 2.0" in 2004, they picked up where they left off by taking their guerilla warfare approach in their music. From playing large venues to even warehouse parties, this tour-de-force are continuing to unleash their sonic brutality to fans of many different subcultures.
