Vileevils
Encyclopedia
Vileevils was an electronic dance duo, formed when the 2005 reunion of Pop Will Eat Itself
(PWEI) failed to become a full-time project. Singer Clint Mansell
and guitarist Richard March were too busy with side projects to dedicate themselves to writing and performing new material, and so the remaining three members of the band decided to form the spin-off band Vileevils, utilising the Sonic Noise Byte material that PWEI had written following the reunion.
The band toured extensively in the UK, before reorganising as a more minimalist two-piece, after Fuzz left the band in 2007. On February 23, 2010, Vile Evils announced that they had disbanded, and that Graham Crabb would move on to reconstitute Pop Will Eat Itself.

The release was under the moniker Vile Evils Vs. Zombies. All releases were on U.S. electronic label dPulse.
"Demon", was released as a digital single on February 2, 2010. Demon was co-written by and features former Pop Will Eat Itself member Clint Mansell. "Axe of Men 2010" by PWEI was also on the single.
The Vile Evils debut album Vive le VileEvil was to be released through dPulse recordings on March 16, 2010. However, it was canceled in lieu of Vile Evils disbandment.

Vile Evils have completed demo versions of the soundtrack for the soon to be filmed feature "Ugly and in love" written by James Anderson Brown.
