Beyond creation - Earthborn evolution ~ Album review

Before I start talking about this album, I would like to mention that Canada has some serious progressive and technical death metal bands! They started to appear more and more lately and every time I listen to one of these bands: IT BLOWS MY MIND!!

Beyond creation has always been that kind of bands we rarely come across! (if you're a prog/tech fan and you don't know the band then what are doing with your life? Seriously!) Since their first appearance the band hasn't ceased blowing our minds!
Beyond creation are known for being very unique, and very strict in what they do! They pay attention to every detail in their compositions, I think they wouldn't have been able to do that if they weren't all skilled! I mean, EVERY MEMBER OF THE BAND IS TALENTED... really talented, which is also rare! And this was clearly remarkable in their successful debut album "the aura" released in 2011! The band kept that complex technical aspect and added more progressive to come up with a new masterpiece "EARTHBORN EVOLUTION".
From what I counted, I listened to the album over 10 times (and yes, I'll be listening to it more) because it's indeed an album that will never make you feel bored, it's simply addictive!

The more I listen to it, the more I discover awesome stuff in those complex technical lines! Simon and Kevin did a great job the riffs are incredible while the vocals are so catchy... strong deep growls and hell! What a devastating drum by Philippe! Knowing that this is his first album with the band!
And you can't talk about Beyond creation without mentioning the bass-hero Dominic "Forest", I have to stand in recognition of that man! His bass lines are very unique and creative (you gotta check Elusive Psychological Reverence to see what I'm talking about)! With his fretless 6 string bass he makes me think about many great bass-players especially that nowadays there is kinda a lack of creativity (particularly in terms of bass) but FOREST IS A MASTER, so are the rest of the band members!

In general the album is a piece of art, if I have to write about each song I'd write a novel! You tech/prog fans must check this album and believe me IF CHUCK SCHULDINER WAS STILL ALIVE HE'D BE PROUD OF THESE GUYS!
This album should be one of the best 2014 releases!!

Interview with Mario from Devangelic

- First of all ,thank you for the interview! "Devangelic" is a brutal death metal band from Italy! tell me more about the band!

Hi, thank you for having us! As you said we play brutal death metal and we are from Italy, our main influences are Gorgasm, Disgorge and Condemned among many other legendary names in the BDM scene!


- After the promo of 2012 the band got the opportunity to sign a deal with "Comatose music" in 2013 to release later its first full length album "Resurrection Denied" earlier this year! Talk to me more about this album and about this move!

Yeah, we got a very good deal with Steve of Comatose Music and we're very glad he believed in us since the beginning. Our efforts has been well rewarded as the first press of the album sold out just with preorders and the US tour and we got an outstanding feedback from the webzines, insiders and especially from the fans around. We're definitely satisfied for it, but it's just the beginning!

- What does the lyrics deal with?

Our lyrics focus on potray the disgusting things that the Catholicism, among other religions, brought in our society. We come from the "holy" city of Rome, so we live and see those things everyday, it came naturally to us to write about that.


- Are you satisfied with the feedback so far? 

As I said before, we're definitely satisfied about it!


- "Devangelic", How did you come up with the band name?

We wanted a name who could result fresh and even a little bit catchy and not to hard to remember!



- What do you think about metal scene in Italy? we see that many great italian bands appeared lately!

Yeah, it's a great thing indeed! There are a lot of great bands here and it's awesome to see that everyone is helping each other out with no jealousy. There are always exceptions on that, but I prefer to not to think about em and keep concentrate to the great things happening in the scene!



- what's your favorite Italian band?

Personally I like so many ITDM bands, my most favorite are Hour Of Penance, Septycal Gorge, Bloodtruth, Antropofagus, Putridity and Vulvectomy.



- Tell me more about your news and upcoming events! and I also noticed you're creating new merch! 

We're putting out a bunch of new stuff, new shirt designs and hoodies, and you can find everything online on our store http://www.devangelic.bigcartel.com/ For the next moves, we're starting the writing process of the new album and we're going to play in London on May 22nd along with many great bands, and many other news are coming next!
