\u200b\u201cWe knew we wanted to do something special. So we had our friend Mike Evans film the show. This music video is for all the people who were there celebrating with us, making it such a special night,\u201d\u00a0<\/em>adds the band.

\u200b\u201cWraiths\u201d\u00a0<\/strong>is a groove-driven, straight-ahead metal track with thrash undertones and a nod to classic rock and metal. Lyrically, it explores themes of mysticism as a bridge to connect with lost loved ones, an emotional depth that complements its sonic punch.<\/p>\n
\u200b
Their new album,\u00a0produced by metal heavyweight<\/strong>\u00a0Mark Lewis (Trivium, Whitechapel, The Black Dahlia Murder)<\/strong>, marks a seismic shift in their sound.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0album\u2019s artwork, created by legendary artist Travis Smith (Opeth, Megadeth),<\/strong>\u00a0is a chilling visual interpretation of the true story behind the title track. It depicts Devin Babcock\u2019s ancestor, Amos Babcock, who in 1805 committed a gruesome murder in Shediac, New Brunswick, during a religious frenzy. The haunting image of Amos in the snow, surrounded by the eyes of his nine children, adds a historical and emotional weight to the album\u2019s narrative.

\u200bDevolver<\/strong>\u2019s connection to their hometown runs deep. They partnered with Grain Bin Brewing to create \u201cBrews of the Maw,\u201d a blackberry and blood orange pale ale named after their track \u201cJewels of the Maw.\u201d And for fans of Magic: The Gathering, the band has hidden lyrical nods throughout the album, including a track titled \u201cDeathtouch.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n
