With riffs that sound akin to a demolition squad, double bass attacks like uppercuts and vocals that echo from your guts like thunder in the night, VADER have outdone themselves on their new opus. “Tibi et igni” embodies death metal in perfection!

Originally formed by Daniel Finch back in late 2011 amidst a bout of religious delirium, DEVILMENT back then experienced a myriad of problems trying to hold down a stable vocalist (the rope, I believe, was never quite strong enough).

Enter Daniel’s friend Dani Filth (CRADLE OF FILTH, TEMPLE OF THE BLACK MOON), who, although not entirely stable mentally, agreed to help out on a couple of tracks, having some time off from his other projects. Dani Filth comments, “When I heard what Dan Finch was doing, I just had to get my claws into it. It had a unique sound to it that was both creepy and heavy, but indelibly groovy. I instantly saw where we could take this beast...”

This then turned swiftly into a studio demo, completed after Dani finished work on CRADLE OF FILTH’s album »The Manticore and Other Horrors«, in late Summer 2012.The demo, known as »Grotescapology«, featured eight tracks, which, although psychotically competent, were used solely as a backbone for a new line-up when their drummer departed to tour with IRON MAIDEN's Steve Harris, with the remaining two members blowing away in a storm one night.

Fortunately at this point, destiny, sat on a posturing horse, was proud to usher Nick Johnson (Bass), Colin Parks (Guitar), Lauren Francis (Vocals & Keyboards) and Aaron Boast (Percussion) into the fray - four extremely competent musicians who suddenly grew out of the local musick scene, much like fruitful mushrooms on a slightly rotten log (here comes the ‘fun guys’ analogy!).And soon the band were at full steam once more and starting to write as a combined unit.

May 2013 to the pre.......
