Portrait

In a few words

Genre: Melodic Death metal Line up: Atte Pasanen - Guitars, Keyboards Delacroix - Vocals The journey of The Devout began in spring, 2003, when guitarist Atte Pasanen had his first ideas of some potential songs in mind. Some more depth was added a little later as keyboarder Juho Yksjärvi joined in with new melodies. In early summer 2003 lyrics and drums were greatly needed and so vocalist Aslak Michael and drummer Henry Heinonen joined the crew. The idea was to create a death metal band which included melodic and folkish influences, and fall 2003 anchored this basis strongly as the first steps of the “epic, melodic, folkish, deathmetal“-band were taken. Training continued in spring 2004 and songs like “Midnight Feast“, “Where Gales Veiled The Moon“ and “...And The Harvester Proclaimed“ began to take shape, however the names of the songs were different at that time and major lyrical changes were made by Aslak as the process went on. At some point Atte and Aslak started also to think about a proper name for the band, which became an unexpectedly complex task to deal with. At the end of summer 2004 the whole idea and concept of the band had strengthened and grown a lot while the existing songs were turning into more ambitious and complex musical pieces. At that time the band was more and more in need of a capable bass player and soon Teemu Pellonpää, who was (is) actually a drummer, joined the line-up to beef up the lower frequencies. The band grew mentally and now it also had a much clearer view of its own thing.
