After the surprising success of their previous long player “Phase Three” DeVicious is back with their highly anticipated 4
th
Studio album “Black Heart”!eartHeart Having previously produced three
albums in only three years, the international outfit based in Germany
decided to use the pandemic enforced break wisely to take their time for
the song writing and production and eventually ended up 137 days
producing their most melodic, heaviest, most angry yet freshest and most
unique album to date.
Being in Lockdown for 1,5 years and
being forced to see the events going down around the world had a big
impact on the lyrics and the music. DeVicious went back to the studio
with one cardinal rule: don’t copy yourself and no stylistic influence
is off the table as long as it is fun to play and the melody is big
enough.
Band leader & producer Alex Frey wanted to create a
different atmosphere as on the previous albums. DeVicious have always
defined themselves through big arena type melodies, which often comes
with limitations of style and a particular lack of freedom. Black Heart”
contains influences from traditional Hard Rock, Metal, Melodic Metal,
Progressive Rock and even EDM sounds found their way into the
production.
DeVicious will also release their own comic book series “Dollhouse DV” in
2022.
The main characters of the comics are the models on the covers for the
“Black Heart” album and its singles. The comics and artwork were created
in entirety by the band. Three of the 12 songs are part of the official
Soundtrack for the comic books…
“Black Heart” was produced by Alex
Frey at Tower 13 Studios, Karlsruhe, mixed by Patrick Damiani at
Tidalwave Studios Karlsdorf and mastered by Robin Schmidt at 24-96
Mastering Karlsruhe. Additional backing vocals by Michael Bormann
(Michael Bormann’s Jaded Hard) and Baol Bardot Bulsara (TNT).
DeVicious will head on a double headliner tour with Night Laser in April 2022.
DeVcious is: Antonio
Calanna (vocals), Alex Frey (bass), Radivoj Petrovic (guitars), Lars Nippa (drums), Denis Kunz (keyboards)
