DEVIAN - Censored Video For 'Assailant' Available; Band To Kick Off Tour With UNLEASHED This Month
February 11, 2009, 15 years ago
Swedish blackened death/thrash commando DEVIAN has returned from it's successful European tour with DEICIDE, SAMAEL, VADER and apparently had a great time as vocalist Legion (ex-MARDUK) states while checking in with a band update:
“The Winterfest! What a mad tour! Too many packed venues and rabid response to our set to pin-point any highlights, we had an absolute blast destroying cities around Europe and we hope that all of you out there who sweat and screamed with us enjoyed it as much as we did!! Although the tour has come to its inevitable grinding halt the Devian machine won’t stop rolling! We’re just getting geared up and adrenalized to team up with our fellow country men in UNLEASHED to pummel on Scandinavia, make sure we won’t stop at nothing bringing hell to the Northern stages!!In the meantime we have another treat for you, the lead off video for our current album God To The Illfated; namely 'Assailant'. A ravaging orgy in comic-book style violence to ablaze the winter for you out there. Enjoy!!”
While the clip for 'Assailant', shot by Rasmus Tirzitis / Tirzitis Entertainment, perfectly fits to the band’s extremely dynamic, hellish aggressive sound and massive, thrashing riffs, it is likely to be deemed too brutal and offensive for most common TV outlets.
The video can be seen below.
