Evil Reborn is a death metal band formed in Maturin, Monagas, Venezuela, founded by drummer Jose Maneiro and vocalist/guitarist Victor Chaparro. Their debut full-length Throne of Insanity (2016) was co-released by Evil's Records (Panama) and Satanath Records (Russia), bringing the band international underground exposure. The nine-track record draws on classic death metal aggression with artwork by Venezuelan artist John Quevedo Janssens.
