Devilskin Unveils New Album: *Re-Evolution*
New Zealand’s renowned hard rock band, Devilskin, has released their latest album, *Re-Evolution*. This impressive collection features thirteen songs that reflect the band’s growth over their fifteen-year career.
A Milestone in Their Journey
Arriving eleven years after their successful double-platinum debut, *We Rise*, the new album follows a sold-out eleven-date tour across Aotearoa. With *Re-Evolution*, Devilskin showcases their musical, emotional, and sonic expansion.
A Fresh Approach to Recording
In a statement, the band emphasized their innovative approach to this project. “We really approached this album from a fresh perspective. From the way we shared demos to working in a new studio, the process was streamlined for precision,” they noted. Their focus was clear: to create their finest, most expressive album yet.
Exploring Deep Themes
Produced by their long-time collaborator, Dave Rhodes, *Re-Evolution* delves into heavy themes like grief, addiction, and resilience. The record balances emotional depth with moments of beauty, featuring melodic passages and immersive sonic landscapes, all while maintaining the distinctive Devilskin sound.
A Relaxed Yet Purposeful Process
Despite the pressure to top their past successes, the band found the recording process to be surprisingly relaxed. “While we feel the pressure to outdo each previous record, this one was more about having fun and bringing our visions to life,” they explained.
Featuring Special Guests
*Re-Evolution* also marks a new milestone for Devilskin with guest appearances from Nik Barker of Twelve Foot Ninja and Joe Hottinger of Halestorm. Their contributions add fresh voices to the band’s already dynamic sound.
A Statement Album
The album opens with “Red,” a fierce mission statement, followed by tracks like “Swelter” and the haunting “Desiderium.” Together, they highlight Devilskin’s exceptional musicianship and emotional range, making this record a bold reintroduction to their artistry.
