Devilment

"Devilment" are a British heavy metal band formed by Daniel J Finch in late 2011. Originally formed by Daniel Finch back in late 2011 amidst a bout of religious delirium, Devilment back then experienced a myriad of problems trying to hold down a stable vocalist. Enter Daniel’s friend Dani Filth (CRADLE OF FILTH, TEMPLE OF THE BLACK MOON), who agreed to help out on a couple of tracks, having some time off from his other projects. Dani Filth comments, “When I heard what Dan Finch was doing, I just had to get my claws into it. It had a unique sound to it that was both creepy and heavy, but indelibly groovy. I instantly saw where we could take this beast...” A studio demo in late Summer 2012, completed after Dani finished work on CRADLE’s album ‘The Manticore and Other Horrors, known as ‘Grotescapology’, featured eight tracks, which were used solely as a backbone for a new line-up when their drummer departed to tour with IRON MAIDEN's Steve Harris, and two other members departed the group.. At this point, Nick Johnson (Bass), Colin Parks (Guitar), Lauren Francis (Vocals & Keyboards) and Aaron Boast (Percussion) entered the fray - four extremely competent musicians who suddenly grew out of the local musick scene, and soon the band were at full steam once more and starting to write as a combined unit. Founding member Daniel Finch left in late 2014 following a dispute with the band and management.
