Devastus is a solo artist studio project for progressive Metal-oriented music with orchestral overtones. With the work as of late on it's first EP release I'm aiming for the artist profile to get active, although it's been around for a rather long time, housing itself as a channel for practicing production.
Why this name?
It was an online alias I used for pretty much everything, and soon it stuck specifically to my musical outputs.
Do you play live?
Currently I play live in a band called Distractress, check it out at www.myspace.com/distractress! With this project however, who knows what might happen in near future.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It gets easier to find good "underground" bands and musicians. Internet as a promotion tool is a powerful one if you know where to pull the strings (which I do not).
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
I like the independence and possibilities that I have without a record contract and I don't believe there would be labels signing a record contract which would fit that mold.
Band History:
Started from composing with MIDI sequencers -- now recording with a home studio, more or less. Been just a hobby, from the beginning to this day. I had never thought of trying to actually get anything bigger done with this than just single tracks that I share for free, but here I am, making an EP and kinda trying to make a run for it.
Your influences?
Too many to describe, really. I guess you could say anyone who got way more skills than I do, and that's not a hard thing to achieve.
Favorite spot?
I'm so much of an inbred that I'd pick my hometown Tampere as my current answer.
Equipment used:
PC, Cakewalk SONAR, Reason, Behringer B2 Pro, all sorts of stuff.
Anything else...?
All the songs you see here are meant for free sharing, so if you like it, download it, make a cd copy of it, whatever you want to do! All I ask for return is to spread the word.
