On Saturday 10th February 2018, Devilspeak release a debut 3 track EP, entitled, ‘See Evil, Hear Evil, Speak Evil’, via a live streamed gig on Facebook and YouTube. They’re a 5 piece death/thrash metal band, from Cape Town, South Africa. Formed August 2014. The band name was chosen the day after the first audition. It represents a wordplay, re: the Devil’s Peak Mountain, in Cape Town.
They debuted live on March 20th, 2015. The debut single, ‘Violently Leading The Blind’, was recorded on 18th and 19th April 2015, at Milestone Studios, by Jethro Harris and launched on 1st September 2015, to international acclaim. During 2016, they were awarded the Best Newcomer at the South African Metal Music Awards. They’ve played a number of high-profile shows, including Metal 4 Africa’s Winterfest 2015 and Summerfest 2017, Wacken Metal Battle South Africa, April 2016, opening for Rotting Christ, Cape Town, July 2016, opening Witchfest 2017 Cape Town, with Devildriver and Mantar headlining and support for South Africa’s Terminatryx, at their 15 year anniversary show, August 2017. Last year also saw them win the Best Thrash Metal Band Award, at the South African Metal Music Awards.
‘See Evil, Hear Evil, Speak Evil’ follows their 3 track EP, released in September 2016 and the single ‘Unearth Hell’, from the EP, launched on 12th September 2017, which was lauded, throughout the world’s media. The same positive reception and airplay is currently greeting ‘Internal Shrapnel’. (Track 3 on the new EP).
Recorded, mixed and produced at Milestone Studios, Cape Town, by Jethro Harris, mastered by Kelsey Mastering, South Africa, the EP is representative of Devilspeak’s preference for home-grown products and collaborations, so to speak. In keeping with this ethos, the live stream will be broadcast from Milestone Studios, by Jethro Harris. Live editing will be handled by 2C Productions, based in Cape Town, known for their wide experience of such work.
The EP will also be released in physical CD format, with intricately detailed artwork, including separate artwork for each track. The finished product is planned to be a visual spectacle! Art and design by Sepulchral Visions and TVS Graphic Design. Merch is also available in the form of Devilspeak’s Skellie mascot on a launch shirt, with a possibility of more varied designs in future.
