NEWS: Super group Devolution share “Fear By Design”!

How many projects does it take to satisfy the creative urges of Metal veterans Christian Olde Wolbers (Fear Factory, Vio-lence), Jon Howard (Threat Signal, Imonolith), Eric Tysor and Nate Beberdick? The answer seems to be “many” as they recently launched Devolution with debut album  “Deceiver, Believer“, a record which features guest appearances by Cristian Machado (ex-Ill Niño, Lions at the Gate), Chris Dudley (Underoath) and Misstiq. Mixed and mastered by Tue Madsen at Antfarm Studio (Heaven Shall Burn, The Black Dahlia Murder, The Haunted) that record has given up another single in “Fear By Design“.

Vocalist Jon Howard says “The lyrical concept for ‘Fear By Design’ is totally straight up, no bullshit. I’m not dancing around a subject and leaving it up to personal interpretation. I’m saying this as loud as I possibly can… The power hungry evil rulers of this world have been lying and pushing a fear based agenda for a long, long time. Lies, lies, and more lies make up your whole fairytale life. Honestly way more than I can even say. The evil of this world goes beyond anything you can even fathom. But the point I’m really getting to is, there is no fear, it’s all by design. At least the made up bullshit they want you to fear… Fear is control. I could go on and on and on, but you’ll think I’m more insane by the second haha. So yea, that’s the lyrical concept. God help us all.”

Guitarist Nate Beberdick shares “We had an absolute blast shooting this video with [Director] Scott Hansen (Meshuggah, Sevendust) and Desiree Hansen, along with their killer crew at Digital Thunderdome Studios. ‘Fear By Design’, the opening track from our debut album Deceiver, Believer, is a straight to the point kind of song both musically and lyrically. It’s high energy with an even stronger message. Scott did a great job with the video concept and bringing the song to life visually. We love how it turned out!”

Drummer Eric Tysor adds “Going back down to Georgia to film the video for ‘Fear by Design’ from our album Deceiver, Believer was a fantastic experience. This song is one of my favorite tracks on the record, and bringing it to life on screen was done flawlessly by Scott and Desiree from Digital Thunderdome. The video captures the intensity and vision we had for this song perfectly. I’m incredibly proud of the track—and even more excited to finally share this video with everyone.”
