If were to chose a song to begin with, I’d pick “Vile Defloration” because it tells in a great way what kind of band Depravity are: a hardcore band with some finesse. The perfect match of harsh vocals with very well played guitars and blast beats. I’ve got praise drummer Louis Rando. The guy really knows how to spank his drum kit with fury and technique and lots of creativity. The kind of drummer who is able to fill a band’s music up.
“Evil Upheaval” is an album that matches perfectly two distint moments: cruel and brutal death metal in songs like “Despondence” and moments of great technical finesse like in “The Great Divide.” But, it’s not that simple. Well, as you know never it is simple as those moments are combined in the same song. And that is what makes Depravity great. This musical contradiction that arises from each track. As you know, the great deal of extreme music is the approach to real life. Thus, music gets so ambivalente and complex. No wonder. Songs like “The Great Divide”and “Tormented” show that ambiguity of life. Then, that’s the marvelous of it. In fact, real life is for the strong, not to the weak. And Depravity are strong. The last, but not the least, the title track, “Evil Upheaval,” has a sing along chorus, something unexpected from a death metal band.
Depravity “Evil Upheaval” was released on April 20th via Transcending Obscurity Records.

I’m just a lucky guy who has chosen metal to live with for a long time. Metal changed my life for good. It made me more confident and stronger. Metalheads are naturally far away from the mass mediocrity and don’t accept impostures from anybody else. Metal is more than music, it’s a life changing oportunity!
