Baptised in Blasphemy

Formed in 2017 by drummer J. Scarlett and lead guitarist R. Amun out of the ashes of two former Extreme Metal projects and the addition of rhythm guitarist C. W. Wolfgang and bassist and lead vocalist T. Nachtghul, Devastator quickly proceeded to take the local Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire scenes by storm with their unrelenting take on the primitive ‘Black Thrash Attack’ following the release of their self-titled three track demo heavily inspired by the titans of yesterday such SODOM, BATHORY, VENOM, HELLHAMMER and MOTORHEAD – the foundations were laid for what was to come. Devastator continued to bulldoze through the underground live scene every year and bursting into the mainstream performing at notable events such as STUDFEST 2022 with EXCITER at the Underworld in London, a monumental set at BLOODSTOCK OPEN AIR FESTIVAL 2022 and most recently as special guests for the US-based METAL BLADE RECORDS-alumni MIDNIGHT on the UK leg of their 20-year anniversary tour, cementing their reputation as one of the very best live bands in the underground today.
