DEVILOOF, a heavy metal band that made an unprecedented major debut in Japan, is set to drop a new digital single “Everything is all lies” on 20 October. Following their remarkable major debut, the band made their international festival debut at Jeonju Ultimate Music Festival (JUMF) 2023 in South Korea. Additionally, they also announced an upcoming 2024 world tour that includes stops in Mexico, Chile and Brazil.
On their latest single, the band’s vocalist Keisuke, who grew frustrated with the proliferation of unreliable self-help books and information in the world, imparts a message to listeners: ‘Don’t succumb to influence and live with your own thoughts!’
The cover art for “Everything is all lies” was designed by illustrator Nottsuo, known for his work on the popular trading card game Duel Masters. The artwork features a creature inspired by Nyarlathotep, a maligned deity in the Cthulhu Mythos known for its adept manipulation of humans, guiding them toward destruction and chaos.
Perfectly linked to the worldview expressed by the illustration, the new single is poised to captivate audiences via DEVILOOF’s distinct sound. In addition, the band will be performing as the supporting act for Canadian technical death metal band Cryptopsy at their Tokyo Show, scheduled for 12 December at SHIBUYA STREAM HALL. Stay tuned for more info to come!
