Deville Announce New Single “Killing Time + Caution”; New Album Coming Soon
The next full-length from Swedish hard-edged heavy rockers Deville is yet untitled, but will see release this Fall through Sixteentimes Music. I have precious little information on the record other than that, but the veteran outfit led by guitarist/vocalist Andreas Bengtsson have trickled out singles like “Speaking in Tongues” (posted here) and “Hanged, Drawn and Quartered” (posted here) to follow-up on their 2018 album, Pigs With Gods (review here), and their emergent aggression was certainly on display there. The new two-songer, Killing Time + Caution, shifts the narrative a bit.
Set to release Aug. 19, “Killing Time” is a three-minute burst of energy, but there are hints of the band’s rock side poking back through, and “Caution” confirms that with an even more prevalent melody, with Bengtsson joined on vocals by fellow guitarist Andreas Wulkan, the rhythm section of bassist Martin Nobel and drummer Michael Ödegården propelling the Queens of the Stone Age-esque hook straight into your brain, where it’s likely to stay, stuck in your head for at least the rest of your afternoon. There are far worse fates, you understand. Songwriting has always been a strength for Deville, and both of these tracks show that hasn’t changed even as the four-piece from Malmö draw nearer to the 20-year mark since getting their start in 2004.
More to come? You know it. This for now? You know that too. Only bummer here is neither of these songs are streaming yet, but there’s time:
First single taken from epic new album “Heavy Lies The Crown” by Deville, Malmoe, Sweden´s biggest rock/metal band. With over 500 shows done around the world, it is a perfect introduction to the bands come back with a great hit chorus, downtuned guitars and lyrics of a waiting, frustrated conqueror. And don´t forget the tribal drums. With three songs from the last album making it to the great lists it is time again for a return to the big stages.
