Former tattoo musician and Marduk vocalist Legion called up previous friend and Marduk drummer Emil Dragutinovic, worked in two guitarists, Joinus and Tomas Nilsson, a bassist, Roberth Karlsson, and gave it a name: Elizium. Quickly thereafter, the brand new group transformed their name to Devian, and begun to consider their demonstration around to brands. Leaving the main one dimensional dark steel sound of the former music group, Devian took the greater traditional steel tack, mixing components of thrash and power steel, from influences such as for example Iron Maiden and Morbid Angel. Hundred years Mass media stepped in and had taken in the brand new band of previous military, and in 2008 Devian released the Rickard Kottelin-produced and Fredrik Nordstrom-mixed Ninewinged Serpent.
