DEVACRON: Death Metal and Prison Break

Death Metal and Prison Break

I'm currently watching some old Prison Break. I liked that show, but I got quite annoyed from season two already, until it (then) finally ended. Now I miss it and although it was good storywise and for the viewers patience that it ended after a fourth season, I kinda wish now that there had been at least a fifth as well. So now I'm just rewatching it over and over once a year maybe.

In between watching PB episodes I'm cranking some good, old, Swedish death metal today. On the menu are firstly Dismember, my favorite, then my seconds fave Entombed. I'm also going through some Necronaut, Grave and earlier some American acts like Obituary. One American DM band I could particularly recommend is Nocturnus. A Tampa (not too surprised about that huh?) based band whose drummer, Mike Browning, was in Morbid Angel before their debut "Altars Of Madness". Now the special thing about Nocturnus is that they incorporated keyboards into their music. They were heavily influenced by sci-fi themes and their music is like Tampa death combined with the Blade Runner soundtrack, for those of you who know it. If not, then check it out - it's awesome, and check out Nocturnus as well !!

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.
