Biography

Germany (1992 – present)

Evils Toy from Germany saw the light of day in the summer of 1992, when future band members Volker Lutz and Thorsten Brenda were introduced to one another by a mutual friend. They took an instant liking to each other, the existing equipment masterly complemented one another and so the founding of an Electro-Band was virtually an inevitable consequence.

Bands such as Depeche Mode, Front 242, Invisible Limits … inspired the two founding members, which meant that the concerted effort soon bore first fruit. Within a few weeks the first songs were created, which were then sent to relevant record companies in form of a demo tape.

In January 1993 the band was signed by the Nuremberg Hypnobeat / Hyperium label as successors of Project Pitchfork, who had left the label at that time. However, it still took almost another year before the Debut-CD Human Refuse was actually released. The album came like a bomb and caused positive to enthusiastic reactions not only with the press but also with the listeners. The combination of driving rhythms and catchy tunes so typical for Evils Toy seemed to be exactly what everyone had been waiting for in vain for quite some time, and therefore it was not surprising that the band could register an increase in sales.

    Gah! Who are the newfags that voted for THAT cheesy image to be the representative profile photo? Look newbs - that's not Evils Toy. That's Volker's girlfriend who left the band, and him, a year after this photo was taken and Oliver T. who joined the band as live support only. He later went on to form T.O.Y. with Volker, but later even left that. Thorsten Brenda (who is a dude, not that girl) & Volker Lutz were the core of the band for 95% of the life of the band and the profile pic really ought to reflect that. Please vote for THIS profile pic instead please. Kthanx, bai!

    Silvertears is arguably the weakest Evils Toy album, yet accounts for the majority of track plays here. Fans of the band really owe it to themselves to track down the older far superior albums like XTC Implant or Morbid Mind to appreciate really good Evils Toy songs.

    Suggest a correction (under More Information on the right hand column "Is this artist name wrong or misspelt? Suggest a correction.") Change to EVILS TOY. No apostrophe.

    "Even though it is grammatically wrong, it really should be EVILS TOY ", well don't punch me or so, but in german that's not wrong, although the words are in english...

    Enough Lovecraft-themed songs to make me love this!

    Mirror_Of_Death, ранние вещи никакого отношения к дарк-электре не имеют, это совершенно другая музыка. в остальном согласен :)

    Asski_sotona, Раннее злее же! Dream Or Reality допустим из альбома Human Refuse - чистенький такой DE. Да вообще Human Refuse самый брутальный, супергут.

    Mirror of death, мне вот Angles only весьма доставляет. Ранние православнее?

    Ну новые альбомчики подойдут вполне для пидорков с голубыми глазками.

    Офьючепопились, лучше ранних альбомов начала 90-ых ни чё нет.

    AGREED Ian! I hate having to change my artist fields when I put a CD in and CDDB has it as "Evils Toy" and last.fm has it as "Evil's Toy". Even though it is grammatically wrong, it really should be EVILS TOY since that's the way it is on their albums, CDDB, Discogs and other music databases.
