DEVIAN/Ex-MARDUK Frontman LEGION Injured In Motorcycle Accident

October 7, 2009

Swedish melodic death/black metallers DEVIAN — who feature in their ranks former MARDUK members Legion (vocals) and Emil Dragutinovic (drums) — have issued the following update:

"Some time ago when Legion was out racing the over lands of the Jönköping with his new motorcycle that he bought after coming home from the last DEVIAN tours earlier this year, in search of lyrical inspiration for the new yet-untitled third DEVIAN opus, something went terribly wrong! In a very sharp turn, he lost control over the motorcycle and crashed into a stone wall. He flew over the steering wheel with only one word spinning around in his head — FUCK!!! After he had tumbled into road he knew that he had to get up so he wouldn't be run over by a car. Still high on adrenaline, he dragged himself back to the motorcycle and discovered that it was a total wreck! Later on in the hospital they told him that he was very lucky. He got away with a few cracks in the ribs, some really bad bruises and due to the pain he has been forced to sleep sitting up in his bed the last few weeks. The only 'good' thing that has come out from this accident is that during the time Legion was high on the adrenaline the inspiration and ideas just came to his mind! As soon as he has recovered from the accident he'll start working on the new lyrics for the album."

DEVIAN's second album, "God To The Illfated", was released in Europe last December through Century Media Records. Recorded once again at Art Decay Studio with Rickard Kottelin, DEVIAN this time around decided to hook up with HYPOCRISY/PAIN mastermind Peter Tägtgren for further production duties and the intense mixdown of the album at the Abyss studio (IMMORTAL, MARDUK, DIMMU BORGIR),while mastering was once again taken care of by Peter In De Betou of Tailor Maid Production (DIMMU BORGIR, ARCH ENEMY, DARK TRANQUILLITY).

The "uncensored" version of the "Assailant" video from DEVIAN can be viewed below. The clip was shot by Rasmus Tirzitis / Tirzitis Entertainment and is "likely to be deemed too brutal and offensive for most common TV outlets," according to a press release.
