Description
DEVASTATOR is a four-piece Black Thrash band from the county of Derbyshire in the United Kingdom.
Formed in 2017 by drummer J. Scarlett and lead guitarist R. Amun out of the ashes of two former Extreme Metal projects and the addition of rhythm guitarist C.W. Wolfgang and lead vocalist/bassist T. Nachtghul, DEVASTATOR quickly proceeded to take the underground by storm with their unrelenting take on the primitive 'Black Thrash Attack' following the release of their self-titled demo.
Heavily inspired by the titans of the past such as SODOM, BATHORY, VENOM, HELLHAMMER and MOTORHEAD, the iron foundations were laid for what was to come.
In 2019 the band signed a one-album-deal with UK label Clobber Records, Later that year the band released their debut "Baptised in Blasphemy" on July 10th to critical acclaim garnering the attention of VENOM INC's Tony Dolan, ORANGE GOBLIN's Ben Ward and METAL HAMMER's Dom Lawson, the latter would play a significant role in the next chapter of DEVASTATOR's story.
In early 2023, DEVASTATOR was approached by Listenable Records A multi-album deal was signed and the band began their next major step in their black thrashing career.
The band entered Godhand Studios in Derbyshire with producer Ben 'Audiomage' Gaines at the helm to not only begin work on their sophomore album but also to remix and remaster their seminal 'Baptised in Blasphemy' debut album adding 8 bonus tracks for a deluxe reissue on Listenable Records, the first for the label and was released on November 24th, 2023.
Expanding on the raucous Black 'n' Roll attitude of the band's debut "Baptised in Blasphemy" and turning up the Black Metal to cacophonous levels, the sophomore release by DEVASTATOR differs in many aspects without losing the spirit and power of the band's debut, harnessing other avenues in Extreme Metal and presenting a multilayered and expansive record which explores both Black Metal and Death Metal, whilst still delivering the furious Thrash Metal assault and NWOBHM drenched force that the band has become known for.
DEVASTATOR completed the recording of their new album entitled 'Conjurers of Cruelty' in the late summer of 2023, the sophomore record of young Black Thrashers DEVASTATOR is slated for a 1st of March 2024 release followed by the band's long awaited live debut in mainland Europe.
For fans of : Sodom, Venom, Mot?rhead , early Bathory
