Devilment are a British heavy metal band originally formed in late 2011. The band experienced problems finding a stable vocalist until Dani Filth from the extreme metal band Cradle of Filth joined. They released their first studio album, "The Great And Secret Show", on 3 November 2014.
Originally formed by Daniel Finch in late 2011, the band experienced trouble finding a stable vocalist until Finch's friend, Dani Filth (Cradle of Filth) agreed to help out on a couple of tracks. 'When I heard what Dan Finch was doing, I just had to get my claws into it. It had a unique sound to it that was both creepy and heavy but indelibly groovy. I instantly saw where we could take this beast...'
This turned into a studio demo, known as 'Grotescapology', completed after Dani finished work on Cradle of Filth's album 'The Manticore and Other Horrors' in October 2012. The demo featured eight tracks, which were used solely as a backbone for a new line-up when their drummer and two other members departed the group.
Nick Johnson (Bass), Colin Parks (Guitar), Lauren Francis (Vocals & Keyboards), and Aaron Boast (Percussion) joined the band soon after, and 2013 became a productive time for the band as they gained worldwide press and aired demo tracks on various radio shows.
September 2013 saw the band enter Grindstone Studios in Suffolk with Producer Scott Atkins, who previously worked with the likes of Cradle of Filth, Behemoth, Amon Amarth, Sylosis and Gama Bomb. The band completed 13 tracks, including a cover of Midnight Oil's classic "Beds Are Burning" featuring guest vocals courtesy of Dani's long-term friend Bam Margera of MTV's Jackass and Viva La Bam.
'When I asked Bam if he would sing on it, he was instantly all over it. He went and undertook his vocals in Philadelphia with a well-known producer and now intends to put the track on his new movie, which is frankly, awesome of him'.
