Bio:
Necessary Evil, previously known as Violet Sky, was formed in 2021 by two musicians and longtime metal enthusiasts, Cain and Violet.
From the very beginning, the project was conceived as a space for experimentation. Rather than limiting themselves to a single predefined style, Cain and Violet began exploring different sounds, atmospheres and musical approaches in search of a language that could fully represent their own vision of metal.
This process of constant evolution became one of the defining characteristics of Necessary Evil. Heavy music remains at the core of the band’s identity, but their approach is driven by the desire to combine different influences and emotional landscapes, allowing each song to develop its own personality.
The band’s inspiration extends far beyond music itself. Alongside influences from different artists and areas of the metal scene, Necessary Evil draws heavily from anime, cinema and television series, incorporating their imagery, storytelling and emotional intensity into the creative process.
These elements contribute to a musical universe where atmosphere and narrative are just as important as heaviness, creating songs shaped by both sonic experimentation and visual imagination.
The transition from Violet Sky to Necessary Evil marks a new stage in the project’s evolution: a clearer identity, a stronger artistic direction and the determination to continue developing a personal interpretation of modern metal without being confined by genre boundaries.
For Necessary Evil, music is a continuous exploration — of sound, emotion, imagery and the darker sides of human experience.

A quote about the release:
Necessary Evil describe their sound as “a new word in metal dance music” — a collision of heavy music, electronic energy and a strong sense of rhythm designed to hit both the body and the mind.
Rather than treating metal and dance music as two separate worlds, Necessary Evil bring them together as parts of the same language. Heavy riffs, aggressive dynamics and darker atmospheres coexist with electronic textures, infectious grooves and a pulse that constantly pushes the music forward.
The result is a sound built on contrasts: heavy yet danceable, dark yet energetic, aggressive yet atmospheric.
Drawing inspiration not only from metal and electronic music but also from anime, cinema and television, Necessary Evil approaches each song as its own world, combining music, imagery and emotion into a broader creative vision.
“A new word in metal dance music” is therefore more than a description of genre. It represents the band's intention to explore the space between heavy and electronic music without being restricted by traditional labels — creating something immediate, dynamic and recognizably their own.
