DEVOTION

3rd album from 2024 by Spanish DEVOTION, featuring members of GRAVEYARD, VISCERAL DAMAGE and the former vocalist of OBSCURE. On "Astral Catacombs", the band further refines its heavy, oppressive and unmistakably old-school Death Metal, blending crushing riffs with dark atmospheres and subtle Doom influences that add remarkable depth to the overall sound.

The album is driven by dense riffing, devastating mid-paced sections, well-placed bursts of speed and a haunting cosmic atmosphere that enhances the music without overshadowing its raw power. With more mature and carefully crafted songwriting than on its previous releases, DEVOTION delivers a record that reveals new details with every listen while paying tribute to the finest traditions of European old-school Death Metal.
