Devil Electric - Vol I (2016)
Come on kids. Let's go listen to some music that makes you want sacrifice a goat and draw a pentagram with its blood to conjure the dark lord. It'll be fun.
Devil Electric are an Australia doom
metal outfit who are extremely new but have already gathered some buzz
on the Melbourne charts, shared with the likes of King Gizzard and the
Lizard Wizard. They're comprised of Pierina O'Brien on vocals, Cristos
Athanasias on guitars, Tom Hulse on bass, and Mark Van De Beek on drums.
They're here for liquor from a chalice that's bubbling while emitting
smoke and blood. This is their two-track debut, appropriately named Vol
I.
Slow doomy and buzzy chords consume opening track "Devil's
Bells". The drum beat pummels with daring execution that almost resemble
a fist beating against a table. Desperate vocals cast away any notion
of a redeemable lifestyle in favor of a chance to meet with Satan
himself. "The Dove and the Serpent", arguably the more Satanic in theme,
adds a level of blues to the doom with Pierina's vocals echoed by a
deeper voice resembling a possession. The guitar of Cristos and the
drums of Mark are constantly going beat for beat trying to outdo one
another until they almost hit a brick wall with the song's abrupt end.
Vol I is comprised of only those two tracks, but the entire EP, The
Gods Below, contains two additional cuts entitled "Confusion of Mind" and "Holy Ghost" where we find Devil Electric
dwelling even deeper in the abyss of madness.
