DEVIAN Launch Track From New Album; Reveal Artwork
November 14, 2008, 16 years ago
DEVIAN, Sweden’s blackened death/thrash commando featuring former MARDUK members Legion (vocals) and Emil Dragutinovic (drums) mercilessly return with their second attack, God To The Illfated. You can now check out the brand-new track 'Assailant' at this location and witness that Devian have forged a vicious mix of thrashing riffs, blackish aggression and a heartfelt old school spirit that mounts in simply perfectly written songs.
Vocalist Legion comments: "It’s with great pleasure we bring you the first crusher off "God to the Illfated". 'Assailant' is a good indication where we are going with Devian’s second attack. We just asked ourselves: 'How should a Metal album sound like that we would love to pick up ourselves?', and went from there... breathing life into the music, fuelled by the uncorrupted enthusiasm of the days when checking out records in a vinyl-store was the best hangout you could have or get so blown away by a great gig that you could talk about it and relive it in your head for months. All the musical experience we’ve gathered since those days made us challenge the songs ‘til we felt they erupted into a perfect storm!"
God To The Illfated will be unleashed upon mankind on the following European dates:
Germany / Austria / Switzerland / Benelux: December 12th
Denmark / Norway: December 15th
Spain / Portugal: December 16th
Sweden / Finland: December 17th
