DEVOLVED Signs With KILLZONE RECORDS

October 30, 2006

Australian/American tech-metallers DEVOLVED have inked a deal with KillZone Records. The band's first release for the label will be will a remastered version of the group's debut album, "Technologies", featuring revamped artwork and the video for the track "Distorted" plus bonus video footage. This new version of "Technologies" will also contain two brand new tracks from the group's new Los Angeles-based lineup, remixed by acclaimed producer Neil Kernon (JUDAS PRIEST, NILE, CANNIBAL CORPSE, NEVERMORE, DEICIDE).

Originally from Australia, the band conquered their homeland in almost next to no time after forming in Queensland in 1997. Since DEVOLVED's first release, a four- track demo called "Truth", the band gained exposure and captured the imagination of fans in their home country that would take many top level bands years to work at.

With two albums and an EP released in Australia under their belts ("Technologies" on Bioteck/MGM in 2001, "Automation 001" in 2002 and "Calculated" on Modern Music/Sony BMG in 2004),the band received an overwhelmingly positive response, earning them "Best Metal Act" and "Best Metal Album" honors for "Technologies" from Australia's largest radio station Triple J FM, with a listening audience of over 1.5 million people, becoming the first-ever extreme metal act to receive exposure on daytime commercial radio there.

DEVOLVED recently posted two new demo songs at their official MySpace page. The tracks, which were laid down in March 2006 in Hollywood, California, are the first recordings to feature new vocalist Kyle Zemanek (ex-DEADSETT) and guitarist Brett Carpio.
