Interview:

I don’t know that I would qualify my band as having spiritual significance. Spirituality is a relative term and has different meanings for different people. The purpose of Devourment is strictly for entertainment value, a release from the everyday stresses of life. Our musical take, with our band in particular, is that of pure relentlessness. To me, there is a place for such a band and I would be so bold as to say that no one does it with as much conviction as we do, because we truly believe in our band 110% and it shows. I think anyone will tell you that sometimes they want to pop in a CD from a band that just spews aggression, one that isn’t challenging to listen to, just a mood enhancing antidote. Devourment is perfect for this. Am I passionate about my band? Yes. Am I a fan? Yes! So I guess in that regard you can say the band is a spiritual entity in my life, as I put my heart and soul into every aspect of it, from maintaining contact with fans, to making absolutely sure that any music we put out is up to our standards and does not stray from a single fan’s expectations of what we do. We are not trying to change the world. We are not trying to push the boundaries of musicianship. We are not trying to put a little melody in your soul. We are trying to be the most extreme form of music that we are capable of creating, and it has certainly struck a chord with a lot of people.
