Devolved to Return to Texas

Extreme Tech Metallers Devolved are returning to Texas in late May, early June. Exact details are not yet known but as dates become available look for them to be blogged and plans do include a date in Austin where the band got some strong support on the 2 dates the band played, one in supporting Divine Heresy and the other an off night show, late last year.
Devolved are amazing to see live if you have not yet had the check out the live footage.
There are plans to release Devolved's stunning debut 'Technologies' in the US for the first time. It was released in 2001 in their home country Australia, earning them the accolade of 'Best Metal Album' and 'Best Metal Act'. The band toured Australia both headlining and in support of some of the biggest names in metal. The band made history by becoming the first ever extreme metal act to be signed to Sony BMG (Australia), They were the first extreme metal act in Australia to receive extensive daytime commercial radio support and the band released 'Calculated'. The band in this time also toured Europe the UK and the Far East independently.
Devolved and the word 'independence' become intertwined as the band took the breathtaking step to re-locate to the US to begin anew with new members rather than remain in Australia.
The band are currently working on their third album and the material promises to deliver some huge material showcasing how much they have improved on themselves with relentless drive to perfect. In the meantime the band signed with KillZone Records to license their debut 'Technologies' in North America. For some unknown reason the band seemed to go unnoticed by the US with the exception of some of the more aware fans.
The plan is to release 'Technologies' with its own version of the artwork and with 2 new tracks,the first of any new music in several years since 'Calculated' which have been mixed by Grammy award winning producer Neil Kernon (Judas Priest, Nevermore, Spiral Architect, Queensryche, Nile, Tapping The Vein and many others) and loaded with bonus videos.
However the underlying consensus has 'death knell' written all over the future of the CD but as far as we're concerned, that is a slow bleed down to the metal market as many fans still want CDs despite the fact of P2P and illegal downloading from other sources.
KillZone Records has several releases including Devolved that have had plans basically put on hold by the fallout of the recession. 'Technologies' is a great metal release and even preferred by many as their favorite Devolved album. The aim was to have it released as an introduction to America to Devolved as a precursor to their next album. That's still the plan and are still actively seeking the right investment to launch this band in their plans to conquer America.
