Devillution on CD

Devillution by The Misery Men is a walk down the pre-grunge era of the Pacific Northwest. Packed with special guests and offering 5 new songs and 3 covers, this is truly an rock and roll carnival ride. 16 months of bloodletting 5 songs and 3 covers later we have an album. It was a therapeutic writing process to say the least. Inspired by the "Grunge" influencers in the PNW like Napalm Beach, Dead Moon, The Wipers, that definitely impacted TAD, Nirvana, Alice In Chains, Screaming Trees, Soundgarden, etc. Paying homage to the folks who laid the foundation and paved the path that we walk down. Corey Lewis, the band's founder and visionary, had asked Chris Newman (Napalm Beach, Snow Bud and the Flower People, Boo Frog, and the Chris Newman Deluxe Combo) to collaborate on something, maybe lay down a solo or harmonize on a song or write something together, and at first he was very interested and excited once he recovered from surgery. Unfortunately his health took a turn for the worse and Chris passed May 5th 2021. So Corey and Rob decided they needed to honor him and record a couple songs. They contacted Sam Henry (Napalm Beach, The Wipers, Jenny Don't and the Spurs) to play drums and it just made sense to have Kelly Halliburton (Dead Moon, Pierced Arrows, Jenny Don't and the Spurs) to play bass. They also recruited Jeffrey Larson (Lucky 13's, Misfortunes of Mr Teal) to play rhythm guitar along with Rob Wrong on lead, plus me just on vocals. They recorded Cat With Nine Lives by Napalm Beach and The Reaper by Snow Bud and the Flower People. Devillusion was also mastered by TAD DOYLE not to mention inspired by him as well. The list of musicians on this album is amazing.
