There is more than one artist with this name:
1. An early 80s Boston hardcore punk band
2. A brutal death metal band from California
3. A death metal band from Indonesia
1) Vile are probably known only to the most diehard record collectors and other degenerate scumbags. A mysterious and controversial band, they befouled the punk scene with their 1982 Solution LP, then disappeared off the face of the earth.
Vile started in Maynard, a town in Massachusetts. The aim of the band was presumably to piss off as many people as possible, and their dubious tactic was bigotry. In possibly their only Boston appearance, opening up for the Angelic Upstarts in 1982, the singer told racist jokes from the stage and threw the mike stand at a member of the audience. Their infamous LP was recorded in the legendary Radiobeat Studio, and featured lyrics attacking women, minorities, gays, and pretty much everybody in general. It has since become a coveted collector’s item.
Album review reprinted from the web site Kill From The Heart:
In the history of US hardcore (let alone worldwide…) Vile is mere triviality - a footnote to the sidebar. After two shows, one LP, and a bit of controversy they faded from all but the best memories. Curiously, in recent years they’ve obtained a cult following, likely due in part to members resurfacing via eBay with copies of the impossibly difficult to find LP. The story of the band is at least amusing, so I’ll tell what I know.

The addition of conventional melody&harmony on their newest release is a big step backwards. Disgusting. Next Album will be Hollywood Symphonic Death Metal, I guess *thumbs down*
