Recorded once again at Art Decay Studio with Rickard Kottelin, Devian this time around decided to hook up with HYPOCRISY/PAIN mastermind Peter Tägtgren for further production duties and the intense mixdown of the album at The Abyss Studio (IMMORTAL, MARDUK, DIMMU BORGIR), while mastering was once again taken care of by Peter In De Betou / Tailor Maid Production (Dimmu Borgir, ARCH ENEMY, DARK TRANQUILLITY).

Frontman Legion comments on the creation of Devian'S sophomore album: “God To The Illfated is the result of Devian fusing together as its own powerhouse. Having the luxury of making music together with one's best friends made the new songs step up to a whole different league throughout the writing sessions: we all bled everything into the album, everything that we knew was Devian and explored as much new ground as we could. The extensive touring we did last spring showed us what really works for us....jacked up and confident from slaughter on the road we let all the fire from the live-shows translate onto the songs and the recording-sessions 'til we all felt that unbeatable feeling of grand accomplishment. The feeling that we had a really special beast of an album on our hands."

Devian have additionally also being confirmed to appear on the Winterfest 2009 tour in January with Deicide, Samael, Vader and label mates Zonaria.

DEVIAN Kick Off European Tour With DEICIDE, Announce Next Live Activities; New Bassist On Board


Century Media Records reports:

Busy times in the DEVIAN camp! The Swedish blackened death/thrash commando featuring former MARDUK members Legion (vocals) and Emil Dragutinovic (drums) has just released it's new album God To The Illfated and will kick off the Winterfest 2009 European tour supporting new labelmates DEICIDE today! This will also mark Devian's first tour with new bass player Carl Stjärnlöv (DIABOLICAL).

Furthermore, the band has just been confirmed to support UNLEASHED and BELPHEGOR on the Hammer Battalion North Tour February – March 2009

Vocalist Legion comments: "Despite the fact that I've been on the road since the mid 90ies, Scandinavia is almost untouched ground for me. It seems appropriate and fucking cool to take Devian out on our first Nordic leg of touring supporting Unleashed, one of the forefathers and iconic acts of the Northern scene. Hell over Scandinavia! Hail!!"

Both tours are a massive opportunity for Devian to showcase their intense new album God To The Illfated live. The follow to 2007's Ninewinged Serpent captivates the listener with an extremely dynamic, hellish aggressive sound built upon massive, thrashing riffs, a heartfelt old school spirit and simply perfectly written songs. The album's initial pressing is available as limited edition CD including a special O-Card packaging, two exclusive audio bonus tracks and a free band-logo sticker.

DEVIAN Issue Winterfest 2009 Tour Blog





Poland's Massive Music has issued the following update:

"With a slight delay we would like to present you a tourblog of our friends from DEVIAN who decided to keep you updated of all that is happening during Winterfest 2009. The daily journal will also contain some comments of our tourmanager Darek. The trek featuring also DEICIDE (Glen Benton in Europe again, without him the tour wouldn't happen), SAMAEL, VADER, ORDER OF ENNEAD and THE AMENTA is attacking Europe at the moment. It started in Tilburg (013) when we played the first show exclusively for over 500 screaming metal maniacs. Great venue, great crew, fantastic audience! The second show in Haarlem. Great work of local promoter and another 500 people came to see the gig. What a great result! The third gig took place in Vosselaar and over 500 people unleashed hell! We were terribly concerned about turnout but the show was ...sold out! That means a hat-trick! As you can see, so far so great! The tour is going ahead and everyone is really happy. Fans haven't let us down and we hope for more, just to prove that guys from Stuttgart made a huge mistake of cancelling the gig."
