Alberta metal band DEVOLVER blends groovy metalcore and melodic death metal, creating a unique sound that appeals to fans of modern metal genres while embracing their old-school influences, and wearing them on their sleeve. Fueled by a passion that can only be understood by seeing their unbridled live performance, they are ready to make waves across the metal scene.
Today, the band releases their third single entitled 'At Any Cost' off the band's upcoming album, Non Compos Mentis. For this record, the band wanted to present the highest quality sound by enlisting newfound friend and collaborator Mark Lewis. Recording of the album was tracked in the band's home studio and at Lewis' Nashville studio where he completed the remaining mixing and mastering.
DEVOLVER states, "The bulk of 'At Any Cost' has existed for almost 10 years but was buried in a hard drive until recently. When we decided which songs would be selected for this record, we showed our producer Mark Lewis this one and he was adamant that it had to be included. With a little work, it became a clear choice for a single. We've already been playing it live for a while so we've had a chance to see people's reactions, and we're very excited to spread it to the masses. Anybody who saw us last year might recognize it."
Vocalist Chris Brown adds about the lyrical content, "'At Any Cost' explores greed and the mortal costs of war. It's a reminder that people with power often send those without it to fight for land, wealth, or more power, with little regard for human life. This song asks the question: 'What is your life worth to the ones aiming the cannon?'."

With influences that range from AT THE GATES and CHILDREN OF BODOM, to PANTERA and WHITECHAPEL, DEVOLVER has a unique identity that bridges the gap between the old-school melodic death metal that dominated the 90's and 00's, and the new school of tight, relentless metalcore we see thriving today. While it can be hard to pin down their sound, this blend of grooves and infectious hooks has garnered them a rapidly growing fanbase across a wide swath of the metal community. Their ability to shift fluidly among these styles, coupled with their signature brand of live entertainment, makes it easy to see why they're on a path to success.
Non Compos Mentis is tentatively scheduled for a Spring 2024 release. Stay tuned for more information.
