Rated: ****

What’s that you say? You are not really that familiar with the amazing Deville? Where have you been the past twenty years? That’s right! Swedish quartet Deville has been around for twenty years! And to celebrate that fact they’ve selected eight tracks from their seven albums to introduce themselves all over again to those few who have not been rocking out to their majestic music. Add to this a wild new single Dust and a cover version of Nine Inch Nails’s The Hand That Feeds and you know you are in for a freaking good time! Shying away from their first two releases you get treated to the awesome Lava from their 2013 Hydra record. Their second 2013 record Come Heavy Sleep is represented by Rise Above and Deserter. Two years later they released Make It Belong To Us and from that album we get to hear What Remains. In 2018 they released Pigs With Gods, the title track, God Sealed Tomb and Wrecked are featured. And that amazing album from 2022 called Heavy Lies The Crown gets attention by the rocking Serpent Days. As usual with a compilation, best of and a glance back through a bands discography, fans will be missing their favorites perhaps and some albums should have been featured more according to your taste. But perhaps, when any of those feelings arise, it means, this album wasn’t made for you. You know Deville. You love Deville. Just like me. And yes, I need to have it because of Dust and the righteous rendition of The Hand That Feeds, and so do you. But this tasty Deville taster is actually here to make the other cats, the ones that did not know. Twenty years is a long time to go without Deville and I hope those cats and the ones that did know have Deville for another twenty years at least. And judging from that extremely fuzzy and entirely scorching new single Dust, we should! And for everybody getting their first taste of Deville, get ready for a ten track ride of your lifetime! 20 Years worth of rock condensed into one hell of a ride!
