Elder Devil Share New Single And Music Video
Californian grindcore group Elder Devil released their latest single and music video, "Burning Forest", to be taken from the band’s upcoming sophomore album, "Everything Worth Loving", due for release via Prosthetic Records on June 16.
The high contrast black and white performance video sees vocalist Stephen Muir once again take up directing duties, following previously released music video "My Body Is An Earthen Shrine".
Speaking on the single release, Elder Devil's Stephen Muir comments: "'Burning Forest' is about watching everything you love burn down around you. Nothing is permanent and comfort is fleeting."
Jacob Lee (guitar) adds: “Some of these riffs were so fun to come up with as I was writing the album, I was glad 'Burning Forest' became not only a single but a staple in the set list for all of us to shred through.

The unit has been kicking and screaming since 2016 with the union of primary songwriter Jacob Lee (Hellish Form, Keeper, Plasticbag Facemask) and their vocalist Stephen Muir. With album number two, the quartet has taken its expression to exponentially more evocative terrain, tapping into deeply personal grief. More...
