Frontman Legion comments on the creation of Devian'S sophomore album: “God To The Illfated is the result of Devian fusing together as its own powerhouse. Having the luxury of making music together with one's best friends made the new songs step up to a whole different league throughout the writing sessions: we all bled everything into the album, everything that we knew was Devian and explored as much new ground as we could. The extensive touring we did last spring showed us what really works for us....jacked up and confident from slaughter on the road we let all the fire from the live-shows translate onto the songs and the recording-sessions 'til we all felt that unbeatable feeling of grand accomplishment. The feeling that we had a really special beast of an album on our hands."

Devian have additionally also being confirmed to appear on the Winterfest 2009 tour in January with Deicide, Samael, Vader and label mates Zonaria.
