“The music was written with Jorris Guilbaud and me and Carsten [Schulz] wrote the lyrics. It’s a song about the horror of dealing with depression, trying to make your way through every single day. It doesn’t matter at all what others might tell you about what or who you are, the struggle never stops. We wanted to give a melancholic atmosphere to these songs, but we wanted to leave hope at the end,” says guitarist Shad Mae of the album’s title track.
Of the album’s overall sound, Shad continues, “the idea was to achieve the perfect mix between my heaviest influences (Evergrey, Devin Townsend, Soilwork, etc.) and AOR bands I like (Winger, White Heart, Giant, Strangeways, etc.) and to produce an album which is very catchy and timeless.”
Devoid’s second album overall, “Lonely Eye Movement” is a huge step forward for the band and the perfect vehicle to introduce them to a larger international audience. Coming four years after their debut album, “Cup of Tears”, musically, the band develops the melodic and slightly progressive sound of the debut and makes “Lonely Eye Movement” perfectly suited for fans of hard hitting, but very melodic metal.
Devoid is the brainchild of French guitarist extraordinaire Shad Mae. Combining technical finesse and outstanding arrangements with extremely memorable choruses and hooks, Devoid is rounded out by powerhouse German vocalist Carsten ‘Lizard’ Schulz (Evidence One, Book of Reflections), guitarist Gwen Kerjan, keyboardist Jorris Guilbaud, bassist Geoffrey Shob Neau, and drummer Benjamin Lesous.
The band came to the attention of the label when they submitted their music via the label’s Frontiers & Beyond website (
