Devourer's new album "The Wicked Ones" marks the start of a new chapter for the band in more ways than one. It's the first Devourer album that Oksana Falk, also known as Oksana Rage, sings and plays the bass guitar on, and it's the first Devourer album written by John and Oksana Falk together in person, instead of apart, like they were during the creation of the previous album "Raptus", released in 2022.
Devourer has been making black death metal since 2002, and "The Wicked Ones" is the fifth album. Devourer's music has been called Swedish black metal by some, and death metal by others, but it has always been a unique kind of intense and twisted black death metal, now even more so because of Oksana's vocals. Besides the albums, a handful of singles have been released, along with a demo from 2003 and an EP containing a collection of songs written and recorded between 2007 and 2010. All of it is available freely on Devourer's YouTube channel.
