DEVIL MASTER’s masterful and intricate new record Ecstasies of Never Ending Night is an alluring mix of black metal, death rock and Japanese-style hardcore. ForEcstasies, Devil Master welcomed new drummer/keyboardist Festering Terror in Deepest Catacomb (a.k.a. Chris Ulsh of Power Trip and Iron Age). They joined forces with producer Pete DeBoer (Blood Incantation, Spectral Voice) who recorded the album live to analog tape. The collection proves a definitive arrival for the Philadelphia band whilst witnessing them at their core – their roots in ritual magick have never been more prominent. 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.
Just ahead of Ecstasies of Never Ending Night’s release next Friday on Relapse, the band gives us one more pummeling single, “Shrines In Cinder”.
