DEVIL MASTER UNVEIL NEW VIDEO “BLACK FLAME CANDLE“
SATAN SPITS ON CHILDREN OF LIGHT
OUT MARCH 1ST ON RELAPSE RECORDS
ANNOUNCE U.S. MARCH TOUR
DEVIL MASTER give us a second taste of their forthcoming album today with new single and video “Black Flame Candle“. Consequence of Sound’s Heavy Consequence debuted the “menacing” video for the deathrock, metal-punk stomper. The band states that the video is “set to us breaking in to an abandoned church while almost choking/freezing our good friend Eric to death, after pumping him full of hallucinogens…”
Philadelphia’s DEVIL MASTER stake their claim as one of the most venomous, twisted entities in the underground with their hellish debut, Satan Spits on Children of Light. The album, recorded with mastermind Arthur Rizk (Power Trip, Volahn, Code Orange, Prurient) rattles the very gates of hell with a vile dose of black metal-infused punk mayhem.
“We’re not pandering to any trends or other genres. It’s entirely its own thing. It’s for people to open their minds and have fun with-but also get lost in.” Such is the gospel according to DEVIL MASTER guitarist Darkest Prince, as it concerns the six-sided musical legion he helped actualize in 2016. Swirling in the ominous fog that clings to the cobblestones of their native Philadelphia, DEVIL MASTER conjure an unholy trinity of death rock, punk and black metal that manages to transcend all three. Commanding the steel of Venom, the fury of Bathory’s earliest years and the raw, uncompromising nature of the notorious GISM, Satan Spits of Children of Light sees the band emerge from the grave and reach new blasphemous heights.
Though all six band members are in their 20s, DEVIL MASTER is not their first foray into the dark arts. Darkest Prince has been playing bass onstage with hardcore legends Integrity for the past two years, while bassist Spirit Mirror fronts post-punk outfit Blank Spell and was a member of the mostly female hardcore troupe S-21. Not to be outdone, keyboardist Dodder plays in Grave Turner with members of punk-pop darlings Sheer Mag.
After a pair of self-issued, self-recorded cassette releases-2016’s DEVIL MASTER demo and 2017’s Inhabit The Corpse EP (both of which were later fused together on 2018’s Manifestations
