Description
Devil You Know began as a journey into the unknown, fashioned by a combustible chemistrythat ignited a diverse collection of warm embers together as a bright new flame. The urgency ofexpectation and the bliss of exploration gave the world ‘The Beauty Of Destruction’.
Howard Jones (vocals), Francesco Artusato (guitars), John Sannkey (drums) and RyanWombacher (bass / backing vocals) deliver a dense monstrosity of technical prowess andangst-ridden passion. A deep interpersonal understanding and an evolving camaraderie set thestage for the unique confidence behind ‘They Bleed Red’, the band’s ferocious follow-up, whichextinguishes any so-called ‘sophomore slump’ without mercy.
Produced by Josh Wilbur (Avenged Sevenfold, Lamb Of God, Killer Be Killed), ‘They Bleed Red’is a breakneck paced trip through Devil You Know’s broken psyche, the struggle with anxietyand ultimate triumph against adversity all laid upon a foundation of high level artisticachievement and vitriolic full throttle heavy metal fury.
Jones fronted Killswitch Engage during the most critically and commercially successful era of thetrailblazing band’s career, with fans around the world connecting with his commanding screamsand richly immersive melodic power.
Artusato graduated Suma Cum Laude from Berklee College of Music and is a revered andaccomplished solo artist in virtuoso circles while holding down the lead guitar position indeathcore innovators All Shall Perish.
The Italian born guitarist cofounded Devil You Know with Australian transplant Sankey, bestknown for his work with Devolved, Divine Heresy and Fear Factory.
Ryan Wombacher, who spent a decade recording and touring as bassist / backing vocalist andcore member of Bleeding Through, rounds out Devil You Know’s accomplished line up.
‘They Bleed Red’ boasts a muscular and triumphant sound. ‘Consume The Damned’ is perhapsthe fastest, most aggressive song of Devil You Know’s burgeoning songbook, with a tinge of thehardcore background inherent in half of their lineup. ‘Let The Pain Take Hold’ sounds likenothing Jones has sung before, while ‘I’m Alive’ is uncharted territory for them all, blendingpowerful pathos with textured acoustic guitars.
A journey through rage, despair and every emotion in between, Devil You Know represents themost assured, impassioned, authentic and versatile work of each of the band members’ careersthus far.
