Last month, Melbourne’s elite vintage rock act Devil Electric came roaring back with Tahlia, the first single from their upcoming third studio album of the same name. It was their first music in half a decade and what a triumphant return it was.
With the impending release of Tahlia the album, dropping like a ten tonne heavy thing on Friday, March 27, the band have released their next slab of epic doom via the monstrous, This Hereafter.
A 9-minute riff-heavy marathon of tension and release through epic highs and crushing lows, This Hereafter feels like pushing a boulder through desert sands before finally reaching an oasis. Lyrically the most vulnerable moment on the record, the raw emotion is unmistakable, with Pierina’s voice audibly breaking in the closing lines, leaving the listener with a fragile but undeniable glimmer of hope.
