Studio Report: Into The Pentagram

Yesterday we entered the studio again! We will be working on a few new songs for the time being, and we're also thinking about reworking some old Deva material into more ITP-sounding death/black metal material. We'll see what happens regarding that. It's fun to be working hard once again. It was many years ago since Deva had this kind of spirit and working morality. We were a bunch of lazy fucking bums for the last 4-5 years, no wonder it didn't work out...

Daniel is checking out the equipment we're going to use - keyboards and pads.

We're thinking about doing at least like four tunes this time around. We are also planning on either releasing a new demo, like a part II of our concept story, or a single, probably pressed in vinyl, or actually making it all into our first official album, but we ain't sure yet. We do not wanna stress too much with putting out our first full-length and such yet. It feels better and more fun to demo around for a while before the "big" things come out. Demos are also more interesting anyways, so...

I'm warming up with some growling and black metal screaming, ready to rock 'n' roll!

I feel great about the things to come. It's real good to be back in the game for real again. Stay tuned!

Debut gig: Into The Pentagram

Last saturday, May 31, we did our very first gig as Into The Pentagram, and that was a lot of fun! We have been rehearsing intensely for the past few weeks in preparation for this gig and other upcoming. The band is still officially only Daniel and I, but we got some helping out from our buddies Oscar (bass) and Kristoffer (vocals) so we were able to perform. Daniel did the guitars of course, and I handled all the drumming as well as some vocals. Thanx to all friends and randoms that came out and banged their heads with us!

About this blog:

Welcome to Devacron, estimated 2011.

This is my place where I occassionally aggrevate and write about stuff I like, mostly about music or video games. I am a huge fan of metal music (primarily) and totally non-elitist, i.e. an open-minded metal music listener. I also particularly like electronic/synth/ambient music as well as some other styles.

I have a strange obsession with the 1980's and that's something I've had since I was a kid. Born in 1990, I perfectly missed out on the entire decade. As a kid I simply enjoyed lots of 80's movies and the soundtracks. Think Robocop, Terminator and cheesy 80's music as well as rock anthems. I loved it!

In 2002 I got interested in music and 80's heavy metal was my one great love from the get-go. I grew up with very young parents, both of whom were teenage metalheads in the 80's. Safe to say, they nutured me with the greatest kind of music ever made.

Other interests range from movies to video games to motorcycles. I like a lot of sci-fi movies but also fantasy. Whatever is like an adventure movie, I suppose. I've also been a gamer all my life, starting off on Sega Megadrive and NES as a small kid. These days I rock the PS4 and PC gaming.

I'm also a musician. I was in a (mixed) metal band called Devastation (Sweden) for ten years, playing drums and doing backing vocals (mostly death metal growling). The band renamed itself Into The Pentagram in 2014 and became more of a pure death/black metal band.
