Product Description
In the autumn of 2016, Jacob Lee (from Hellish Form and PlasticBag FaceMask) and Stephen Muir (of Cabin Fire) aimed to create a harsh and desolate grindcore band infused with sludge and black metal vibes. Taking inspiration from bands like Trap Them, The Secret, and Rotten Sound, they launched Elder Devil as a DIY studio project. Stephen took charge of vocals and lyrics, while Jacob handled the music and production. In 2017, they dropped their first EP, Graves Among the Roots, via Medusa Crush Recordings. Then, in 2019, they released the full - length album The Light Dimmed Eternal through Crown and Throne Ltd./Roman Numeral Records. Soon after, Elder Devil became a full - fledged band, with Ryan Urquidez (from dontcryformeimalreadydead and Cabin Fire) on bass and Pete Ruacho (from Amenthes, Nani SS) on drums. Their 2021 EP, Fragments of Hell, released by PlasticSkull Records/SludgeLord Records, was their first as a complete lineup. The pandemic forced Elder Devil to cancel most of their shows from March 2020 to 2021, including an 11 - day West Coast tour. To show off their full lineup performing tracks from all their releases, they filmed a live performance in their practice space. Filmed by their long - time cameraman and friend Steven Thomas and recorded and mixed by Jacob, Live in Chinatown is a tribute to the Fresno music scene and their supporters. You can watch it on the band's YouTube channel, stream it on all platforms, and download it for free on their Bandcamp starting November 5th. On signing with Prosthetic, Elder Devil is thrilled: 'It's both exciting and humbling to work with a well - known label like Prosthetic. We're honored to be part of the Prosthetic family. We can't wait for everyone to hear our upcoming full - length debut on Prosthetic.'
