I had kind of forgotten about this band even though I had posted their 2003 release here 10 years ago, I had not seen any of their newer albums until I came across this one, which is one of 2 2021 releases for this band, back in December. I like this disc quite a bit and think the band is interesting with members from Japan, Italy, and France, they have a nice chemistry.

A big shout out of thanks to Nikki, our newest friend and contributor of intelligence here in The Chamber for the heads up on this disc. The Adversary is completely awesome from beginning to end and pummels the listener with a skilled barrage of Nippon death that was mixed and mastered at Hertz Studio along side some of the titans of Polish death metal. As soon as I replenish my PayPal balance I'm buying this disc from Pulverised. Killer Japanese death metal \m/\m/

Deviloof are a visual kei / deathcore band from Japan, and they are one of my son's new favorite bands, and he convinced me to post them here in The Chamber. As far as deathcore goes this isn't bad, so if you're looking for something different then give them a try. On a side note, supposedly they're all guys, but I am not convinced.
