Backstory:

Evil Ball was formed in the summer of 2006 by lead vocalist and guitarist, Matt “Madman” Madison, bassist, Daniel “Demon” Diaz, and drummer, Adam “Apocalypse” Anderson. The band came together in a dingy basement in Seattle, Washington, fueled by a shared love of heavy metal and a burning desire to disrupt the established music scene. Driven by their shared ambition, the band practiced and crafted their music relentlessly, until they finally caught the attention of indie record label, Hell’s Fire Records, who gave them their first recording contract in 2008.

“Shadows of Despair”

Full song lyrics:

(Verse 1)
Em [Em] Deep within the shadows of despair, [D]
G [G] we found a light that wasn’t really there. [Em]
Em [Em] In a realm where the heartless dwell, [D]
G [G] we stumbled upon the gates of hell. [Em]

(Chorus)
C [C] In the silence, we can hear the call, [G]
Em [Em] of the darkened sphere, the wicked Evil Ball. [C]
C [C] Through the madness, through the endless night, [G]
Em [Em] we dance with demons, bathed in the moonlight. [C]

(Verse 2)
Em [Em] Chasing dreams through an endless maze, [D]
G [G] living our lives in a constant haze. [Em]
Em [Em] We are the lost, we are the damned, [D]
G [G] We are the children of the Evil Ball’s command. [Em]

(Repeat Chorus)
C [C] In the silence, we can hear the call, [G]
Em [Em] of the darkened sphere, the wicked Evil Ball. [C]
C [C] Through the madness, through the endless night, [G]
Em [Em] we dance with demons, bathed in the moonlight. [C]

Favorite fan:

The band’s favorite fan is a woman named Melissa. Melissa is a dedicated follower of the band since their inception. Every concert, every album release, Melissa is there, headbanging to the music. She sees Evil Ball as more than just a band; to her, they represent a rebellion against the norm, a voice for those who feel ignored by society. Here’s what she has to say:

“I fell in love with Evil Ball’s music the moment I first heard it. Their sound is raw, intense, and full of emotion. They have this unique ability to take dark themes and turn them into something you can’t help but headbang to. To me, they’re not just a band; they’re a force challenging the status quo and urging us to embrace our individuality. I wouldn’t trade the energy of their concerts for anything else. Being part of the crowd, feeling the music reverberate through my bones- it’s an experience unlike any other. They’re my favorite band not just because of their music, but because of what they stand for.”
