Bestial
As the old saying goes "If it ain't broken, don't fix it". These words describe exactly what black/thrash metal is, a movement that has never been spoiled with any trends that have plagued other sub-genres, and a simple idea that doesn't need to be presented in other forms or make it unnecessarily complicated. Its essence has been carried from one generation to another for over 4 decades, keeping the unholy flame of pure old school metal burning and the gates closed for those unworthy to enter. Case and point are the UK based band Devastator from Derby, England, who have been actively raising hell for a total of 7 years of their entire existence, and in fact they are yet to raise even more hell when their new album "Conjurers Of Cruelty" is released on March 1st via Listenable Records. For this occasion, I had the opportunity to exchange words with the band's vocalist and bassist Thomas Collings, aka Nachtghul, via a scheduled Zoom meeting that was held on January 25th. It was a really big pleasure to speak with him, because it turned out to be a very nice and detailed conve Established in 2000, The Devastators are a four-piece reggae outfit based out of San Diego, California. Their sound has been described as a soulful mix of roots reggae and dub with a hint of funk, combining heavy drum and bass grooves and the old school sounds of Hammond organ, clavinet, and piano. The core line-up consists of prominent SD reggae musicians Ivan Garzon (lead vocals, bass), John Allen (drums, backing vocals), Alex Somerville (keyboards), and Brian Teel (backing vocals, guitar, keyboards). These four veteran performers share over 10,000 hours of combined stage experience and have backed artists such as Pato Banton, The Wailing Souls, Garth Dennis, The Itals, Edi Fitzroy, Earl Zero, Wadi Gad, Bunny Mystic, Majic (NZ), Carlos Paez (B-Side Players), Elijah Emanuel, One Drop, and Kevin Kinsella (John Brown's Body/10ft. Ganja Plant), among others. A graduate of Cal Arts, singer/songwriter Ivan Garzon is both an accomplished bassist and vocalist, possessing the rare ability to combine the two seamlessly in live performance. Garzon's talents
