Biographie
Philadelphia's Devil Master's roots in ritual magick have never been more prominent than on their sophomore album Ecstasies Of Never Ending Night, released in April 2022 via Relapse Records. Recorded live to analog tape and blending blackened punk, death rock and Japanese-style hardcore, Ecstasies expands on the warped riffing and dark atmospheres that have already propelled Devil Master as one of the underground's most unique and unfettered bands.
The path from Devil Master's 2019 debut, Satan Spits on Children of Light, to Ecstasies of Never Ending Night was long and winding. Beyond the many challenges presented by the pandemic, the band experienced a mutual parting of ways with half of their previous lineup.
In the aftermath, vocalist Disembody Through Unparalleled Pleasure also assumed the role of bassist, strengthening the core songwriting trio alongside Darkest Prince and rhythm guitarist Infernal Moonlight Apparition. Fresh blood was found in drummer/keyboardist Festering Terror in Deepest Catacomb (a.k.a. Chris Ulsh of Power Trip and Iron Age).
