Devourment

Throughout DEVOURMENT’s 24 years of extreme existence, one thing has remained constant: unyielding brutality. Formed in 1995 and hailing from Dallas, TX, DEVOURMENT has remained consistent and powerful throughout several reformations, leading many to celebrate them as the heaviest death metal band in the world due to their influential blend of vicious slam elements with an old school death metal sound. DEVOURMENT took the underground by storm with 1999’s landmark Molesting the Decapitated, released on United Guttural. After dissolving in the early 2000s, they reformed and returned with Butcher the Weak (self-released in 2005; re-recorded and reissued by Brutal Bands in 2006). Unleash the Carnivore was released by Brutal Bands in 2009. After 6 long-awaited years, DEVOURMENT return to form, embodying brutality with their ferocious new album, Obscene Majesty. For this album, they reunited with producer D. Braxton Henry, who played in the band on their infamous track “Babykiller” and helped craft the band’s sound on their first three albums. Obscene Majesty sees original founding member Brad Fincher back on drums; Ruben Rosas returning to lead vocals (a formation previously only heard on the legendary Molesting the Decapitated); the previous three albums’ bassist Chris Andrews handling 8-string guitar; and Fincher’s former bandmate Dave Spencer taking over bass.
