Devastator were a Black/Thrash Metal band from South Florida made up of
members of Cuban nationality. These known warriors of underground Black
and Roll and old school Thrash Metal
remain in the leadership of this kind in the United States. Its sharp
and synchronized guitars and aggressive drums invoke us with some
Teutonic metal and early Venom, Bathory, Celtic Frost, and a little
flirting of the traditional Greek Black Metal from the early 90's.
Devastator was started in 2001. Their first release was a demo entitled
"Infernal Devastation", and had five hymns of war brought to light by
the North American label "Regimental Records." Their first full length
album was "The End", produced by Regimental Records and re-edited in
2011 by its current North American label "Old Cemetery Records."
However, their first significant mark on the underground scene and true
old school Metal world would be their masterpiece, "Nuclear
Proliferation", pressed in 2006 by Regimental Records. This album has
had excellent acceptance in the real underground Metal world so much
that in his majestic blog, "Band of the Week", Fenriz recommended them,
thus becoming the second band in the history of this blog recommended by
this member of Darkthrone! Devastator has achieved great popularity in
the underground, and because of this, their next album "Morbid Force"
was pressed by the English label "Die Todesrune”, demonstrating its
popularity among the most elite circles of the global underground. In
2008, they signed with their new and present record label,"Old Cemetery
Records", and released their 4th album, "Conjuring Evil", and continued
along the same line – old school sounding Black Thrashing Metal. Also in
2008, they shared a split with the American band "Amputator." This
split CD was released by the French record label "Maltkross."
In
2009, their fifth production was brought to light by "Old Cemetery
Records", titled "The Summoning". This stunning album is not suitable
for non-organic Metal fans; this album contains the anthem and
masterpiece, entitled "A thousand and One Nights". In 2010, Devastator
surprised us with a new album, "Nocturnal Slut", keeping the same line
of traditional rhythms, and a bit more of the Teutonic Metal and
exquisite Black and Roll. Devastator were definitely one of the bands in
the forefront of the true old school Metal world.
