Devolution

Self-Made Monster

Wickedisc

Devolution hail from the supreme Gothic paradise we call Tampa, FL. The main force behind Devolution is Mykill Mayhem. At first, I was ready to really trash this demo, appropriately titled Self-Made Monster. So, I immersed myself with tons of fetish porn, horror movies, and non-stop drug/alcohol abuse to understand where Mr. Mayhem was coming from. (The lengths I will go to give a decent review!) Now, I have several unfavorable addictions, but I like this demo. At times, I’m reminded of Monster Magnet… other times, I’m reminded of dog poo. But, that could have been the movie I just watched. I can’t think anymore, just trying not to vomit.
