I have been hearing that The Devastated was a band I needed to check out, so I picked up a copy of "The Devil's Messenger". Let me just say that I wasn't impressed at all. The band sounds like a grindcore band that wants to be a doom band part of the time. The vocals are a chaotic blend of pig grunts and highs and are all over the place. The music almost seems like each musician is just doing their own thing. The production is really solid but doesn't make up for the fact that this is just plain awful. Don't waste your time on this one metal heads. Way better stuff out there.
