After 6 long-awaited years, DEVOURMENT return to form, embodying brutality with their ferocious new album, “Obscene Majesty”. Featuring drummer Brad Fincher and Ruben Rosas back on vocal duties – a lineup previously only heard on the band’s 1999 landmark album “Molesting the Decapitated”, the pioneers of brutal death metal sharpen their blades once again, and unleash some of the most disgustingly heavy slam ever! Buzzsaw guitars shred through limbs against head-caving, hammering drums. Deathly, blood-soaked vocals personify pain and torture. “Obscene Majesty” is the epitome of uncontrollable destruction from beginning to end, as DEVOURMENT crush through break-neck speeds, deafening ears and melting faces along the way. Honing in on the very elements of gore, death, and mutilation that have crowned the band as kings of the scene for over 24 years, DEVOURMENT force you to bare witness to the “Obscene Majesty”!

THE VOLUME’s specialty is making stuff up on the spot, recording it and then trying to improve it. Some of the time it’s like polishing a turd. Other times, someone’s swallowed a gold coin and if you wash away the ‘mud’ it starts to shine. Takes a while to disinfect it though. Their first release, entirely self-funded, has been the culmination of years of sitting around, waiting for someone to get off the couch to at least get us a glass of port. That eventually happened after only 4 (or was it 6?) years of procrastination. Currently only available on vinyl and only if you know us personally, this will change as they once again have to get off the couch and get a website going.
