Former MARKDUK Members To Release DEVIAN “Ninewigned Serpent”

Swedish melodic death/black metallers DEVIAN will release their debut album, “Ninewinged Serpent”, on October 22 via Century Media Records.

DEVIAN was originally founded by Legion (vocals) and Emil Dragutinovic (dums) after their departure from MARDUK. Together with Joinus, Markus Lundberg (both guitarists in SARGATHANAS REIGN) and bass player Tomas Nilsson, they form an unstoppable organic extreme metal machine driven by a raving hunger and deadset determination.

“Ninewinged Serpent” was recorded at Sweden’s Art Decay Studio. Mixing duties were handled by Fredrik Nordström at Studio Fredman (AT THE GATES, ARCH ENEMY, DIMMU BORGIR).

Regarding the upcoming CD, Legion said, “It’s a pummeling blackened death thrasher, where we really tried to challenge ourselves and bring fresh elements to the music compared to our efforts in previous projects, and I’d say we managed to achieve that. What at first looked to be mine and Emil’s continuation of “World Funeral” grew into a much more multifaceted sound and we loved taking it in that direction and really making it all it could be. It’s no-bullshit raving metal straight from the heart charged with uncontrollable anger, haunting melodies and bone crushing heaviness. It’s got a lot of power and soul and we are all extremely proud of what we’ve managed to achieve.”

DEVIAN lineup:

Legion – Vocals
Joinus – Lead and Rhythm Guitar
Markus Lundberg – Lead and Rhythm Guitar
