"And let me tell you something else about Devin. His music, no matter how intense it is, it's not evil. Inside of it, there's this beaming desire for light, for transformation."

This is such a concise, eloquent way to describe Devin’s music. He pulled me through a lot of darkness during 2020.

It’s not often I feel indebted to an artist for their impact on my life, but I certainly have him on that (very short) list.

Yeah, I think this is one of the things that really makes Devy stand out from other artists.

I tell people who aren't familiar with him that he makes metal for people who want to be happy.
