Melbourne’s Devil Electric released their mesmerising self titled debut album in August 2017 to rave reviews to world over! The 37minute, 9-track LP is a riff heavy, doom encrusted rock n roll ride of epic proportions.
The album, has been driven by two huge singles, the towering, riff heavy Hypnotica and the sensual groove of Lady Velvet. Both complete with stunning visuals that capture the spirit of band and album completely
Today, the band release the final video in the albums trilogy for the track Shadowman, seen below.
The band explain:
Shadowman is classic horror. It’s more of a presence than a person; twisted, earthy, leaving you with that feeling of unease that we have all experienced. The music video is very much an extension of these tropes and we tried to create something that paid homage to the classic horror genre.
The video was filmed over two days in the dense old rainforest of the Dandenong Ranges east of Melbourne, which are the perfect setting for the feel of the song and the visuals it conjures.
The striking Devil Electric album cover was shot not far from the video shoot location, so we saw it as the perfect opportunity to bring back some of the imagery from that and bring it all full circle.
Watch it here, don’t get scared now!
The Shadowman video is the brainchild of our bassist, Tom Hulse, and we had the help of practical effects artist Moya O’Brien, as well as Max and Elle of Moonhouse, who co-directed, filmed and edited the clip. These guys were key in really interpreting our ideas and bringing it all to life and the result it the perfect ending to the album!
Fronted by the gracious and haunting female presence of Pierina O’Brien, Devil Electric are a riff-heavy 4-piece rock n’ roll band from Melbourne, Australia. Taking musical cues from the hard rock greats of the ’70s and combining them with powerful, female fronted vocals, Devil Electric have gained fast recognition across local and international stages with their dark, signature sound.
Since forming mid-2015 Devil Electric have supported Truckfighters (Sweden), The Sword (USA), Endless Boogie (USA), Kadaver (Ger) toured the east coast with The SIGIT (Indonesia) & played CherryRock Festival in AC/DC Lane. They signed with Kozmik Artifactz (Ger) following the success of their debut EP, The Gods Below, which saw an independent release over two 7” vinyl editions.
In 2017, the band unleashed their self-titled album through Kozmik, which debuted at #4 on the AIR Charts and received high acclaim from critics and fans alike. The LP’s second single, ‘Lady Velvet,’ enjoyed rotation on Australia’s premier youth broadcaster Triple J, while ‘Hypnotica’ was regularly featured on Rage, a longstanding music video program. Impressively, the first vinyl pressing of Devil Electric sold out within two weeks of its release.
Devil Electric continues to gain heavy traction worldwide. Their ever-growing fan base, amassed through social media and extensive touring throughout Australia and Indonesia, is a testament to the band’s talents as performers and musicians.
Devil Electric is out now!
