Weedevil to Release New Single “Underwater”; Debut Album The Return Coming Soon
Now a five-piece, Brazilian riffers Weedevil will debut their new lineup on their first full-length, The Return. Set to release later this year on vinyl through DHU Records, the release will be the follow-up to last year’s two-songer The Death is Coming (review here) and will be preceded by a first single “Underwater” — which also happens to be the opening track of the LP — to see release this Friday. If you do the Spotify/DSP thing, then you can pre-save the track now. I will not pretend to know how that works. The digital release of the album is in April through Abraxas, and the DHU LP follows when it follows. Because it’s 2022 and that’s the world we live in. If I could change any number of things about it, I’d line up release dates across formats, but I don’t think that’s what I’d change first.
First I’d make a three-day work week, universal basic income, and $35 an hour minimum wage. Then healthcare. Then maybe the release date thing. It’s on the list.

Marking a new and even more promising moment of the band ( in course of release their first full album titled “The Return”, debuting the new lineup) the single Underwater will be released on digital platforms on February 4th through Abraxas Records. Dense, dark and with a touch of tragedy the track got in its essence a charge of twist, guided by the Stoner and Doom Metal strands.
Underwater sing about the turbulent story of a woman through mysterious and dangerous waters surrounded by menacing sea creatures that want to drag her to the bottom of the sea. The song inspires agony and danger, but also presents in its climax a positive twist with the woman finally revealing her power and becoming an entity that vanquishes her abusers before finding the void.
According to vocalist Lo Scar, author of the lyrics, the song helps to compose a panel that developed in a time physically and emotionally troubled with the first rehearsal of the new lineup having taken place while she was injured, as well as what has developed since so until your recovery.
Underwater is the first chapter of The Return, highly emotionally charged conceptual material based on Stoner/Doom Metal sonority and scheduled for release on streaming in April and with a Vinyl version already confirmed together with the Dutch label DHU RECORDS.
