Devil Electric Release Title Track From New Album Godless
Melbourne’s finest purveyors of vintage rock, Devil Electric recently released their highly anticpated new album, Godless and once again the reviews have been outstanding with GC Live quoting 'This album really is a vibe, the one I imagine you would get burning a house to the ground and watching until the embers fade.'
Have you ever woken up on the other side of a relationship (friend or otherwise) where you realise you’re giving your all and they’re giving you nothing? Godless is that cathartic moment when you finally speak up and get what is inside, out. As the title track of the album the song itself is a cross-section of what the whole album represents. It's punchy, heavy, soaring, and subtle at the same time. With Godless, Devil Electric bring their second full length album to life and it's raw as hell.
Devil Electric’s highly anticipated new album, Godless, is a collection of ideas and experiences that can simply be described as “the next evolution” of their sound. While keeping true to the band’s DNA, you’ll still find the heavy grooves and tones of 70’s inspired hard rock as Godless takes it one step further by peeling back to a more LoFi sound, a credit to producer Julian Schweitzer who worked with the band on the album.
There’s a high level of stylistic experimentation on Godless that emerged in the freedom of the studio. You will be hit with these moments, unchained and lyrical, in songs like Your Guess Is As Good As Mine and I Will Be Forgotten. In others, like Take the Edge Off, there is the familiarity of Devil Electric’s self-titled debut album but more progressed and twisted into new tonal shapes and raw melodic edges.
Lyrically, Godless took inspiration from Pierina’s bookshelf with songs All My Friends Move Like The Night, Mindset and The Cave paying homage to Plato, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Joe Hill and Paul Tremblay. She keeps pace with the band but never misses the chance to bring the signature big sweeping melodic vocals she has become known for.
Godless is not over-thought and at times it’s raw as hell – but that’s the point.
As always with Devil Electric, there are a number of incredibly high quality bundles that include limited edition colour vinyl options and merch designs. These always sell out via their Bandcamp page, so get in fast!
Physical versions of Godless are available from
