DEVOLVED: 'Oblivion' Album Samples Available

March 31, 2011

Australian/Los Angeles tech-metal masters DEVOLVED will release their new full-length album, "Oblivion", on May 24 via Unique Leader Records. According to a press release, the CD will contain "10 songs of unrelenting modern metal which combines uncompromising intensity, chaotic timing signitures, insane musicianship and a futuristic soundscape blended to create an epic and totally crushing listening experience from start to stop! 'Oblivion' features the furious drumming of founding member John Sankey, who has also worked with DIVINE HERESY, FEAR FACTORY and contributed to the Roadrunner all-star sessions. The album also marks the recording debut of vocalist Kyle Zemanek, who previously fronted L.A. metal heavyweights DEADSETT, and has collaborated with members of FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH."

Commented Sankey: "'Oblivion' is absolutely our most innovative, ambitious and intense work to date.

"Writing this CD was an excruciating and very time-consuming process, but we have created what I definitely consider a unique metal album that showcases each of us pushing the limits of our playing and songwriting. The end result is a listening experience that will speak for itself. I am extremely proud of what we have achieved!"
