Vile is an American death metal band, formed in 1996 in Concord, California by guitarist Colin Davis (who is now the only original member in the line-up) and bassist Matt "Favor" Faivre, recruiting the rest of the band from the ranks of disbanded groups such as Lords of Chaos, Entropy, Sporadic Psychosis and Thanatopsis. They toured the United States and Europe several times since their inception in 1996 including with Cannibal Corpse in 2004. The band began recording a new album on January 25, 2009, with a view to a release towards the end of the year. In 2011, they announced that Willowtip Records will release their new album "Metamorphosis" in the US on November 15th 2011 and partner with Hammerheart Records in Holland for a European release in early 2012.
