DEVOURER (Sweden) - “Raptus” Full-length 2022
Another superstitious release of Mexican label - Iron, Blood and Death Corporation. “Raptus” is extremely blackened metal genocide unleashed by a Swedish quartet who call themselves Devourer. This band was established in Sandviken, Gävleborg around 2002. This means that “Raptus” which was released on February 7, 2022 is an album that celebrates the 20th anniversary of their existence and this is the fourth full-length in their musical career. Devourer has previously produced three albums; “All Hope Abandon” (2013), “Across the Empty Plains” (2017) and “Dawn of Extinction” in addition to two demos and an EP. "Raptus" has comprised a total of 9 songs, approximately 42 minutes of unchallenged Black/Death metal occultism, fulfilled with rigorous ideas, vigorous songwriting, rancorous vocals and of all, murderous sound quality! Lined up by experienced musicians (having played with so many bands before) consisting of John Falk (guitars), Johan Wikholm (guitars), Fredrik Håf (vocals) and Oksana Falk (bass), Devourer is an example of a band that is in a class of its own… and it’s ultimately amazing!
