The band comment "we are beyond excited to be releasing our new studio album
Be Like
The River on November 11th. The title comes from a lyric of ours ‘Be like the
river and cut
through the stone’, the message is about reaching your goals through
perseverance and
unwavering determination. It’s been an incredible journey so far for
Devilskin and we feel
this album really encapsulates and represents our evolution as a band, as
songwriters and as people.”
The album was recorded at Modern World Studio’s Tetbury in the United
Kingdom after
Devilkin’s European Tour. After the success of We Rise the band maintained
their strong
working relationships, continuing the very successful and creative association
with Producer Clint Murphy, Murphy produced and mixed the album, and working
alongside Ryan Smith from Sterling Sound New York who mastered both albums.
Barny Bewick from Indium Design created the artwork for the album. Devilskin
say “we are
incredibly proud of these songs and it was crucial to have the right visuals for
the album so
we again utilised the talents of Barny to create artwork that is as stunning and
evocative as the music on the album.”
Devilkin’s debut album We Rise released on July 11, 2014 and went straight to the top of the charts remaining as the Number 1 Album and Number 1 Kiwi Artist Album for 3 weeks and achieving Gold Sales after only 2 weeks.
