What do you think the band name Devil Master actually means? As in: Are they masters of the devil, or are they just masterful at being devils? Probably the latter, right? That's just something I've been thinking about. Anyway, Devil Master, Philadelphia kings of old-school face-painted punk-metal, are about to return with their new album Bloody Dreams, and we already posted the excellently titled lead single "You Worms’ Vain Delusions." Today, they share a new death anthem called "Death Anthem."
"Death Anthem" is a grimy, squalid new riff-beast of a song. In a press release, Devil Master specify that it's an homage to G.I.S.M., the legendary Japanese band whose notoriously unhinged frontman Sakevi Yokoyama passed away in 2023. Eva Tusquets directed the "Death Anthem" video, which delights in old-school low-budget VHS horror style. Check it out below.
Bloody Dreams is out 9/4 on Relapse.
