Devil Electric is a pretty new doom rock band from
Melbourne, Australia. They are a female
lead four piece that has been around since 2015 and previously released one 7”
record. This album is pretty short,
under 40mins and features 9 tracks. The
CD starts off with Monologue (where you once Wailed). Pretty typical doom rock with an more open
sound production. Pierina has a very good voice, similar to a lot of the great
woman who seem to sing this genre these days. A very Candlemass like track.
Shadowman has a cool guitar riff and is another mid paced track and very vocal
oriented as there are few guitar solos (so far), despite the band having 2
guitar players. Lady Velvet, I just love the slow stoney groove on this one and
some cool guitar parts.. I wish they had included the lyrics with the CD. Acidic
Fire starts slow but really rocks out. Very passionate vocals and powerful.
Monolith is a short instrumental track with a heavy bass line before the
guitars kick in and it gets pretty psyched out but is over in a little over a
minute. The Dove and the Serpent has very mysterious feel to it. Very cool
track. Lilith is a slow and melodic yet mysterious instrumental track that
leads into Hypnotica, the final track on the album. This is real classic doom rock. See the video below. I have to admit the first few times I heard
this CD, I was not that into it but the more I heard it, the better I liked
it. So don’t give up on this one. It
grows on you!
