Devourment is a death metal band from Dallas, Texas. Formed in 1995, the band has split up and reformed three times and none of the original members remain. The current lineup is Mike Majewski (vocals), Ruben Rosas (guitars), Captain Piss (bass) and Eric Park (drums). The band just signed to Relapse Records, but have been signed with Brutal Bands, United Guttural, Corpsegristle Records and had albums re-released by other labels.
Since their foundation, the band released a demo, Impaled, and an album, Molesting the Decapitated, before disbanding due to the jailing of vocalist Ruben Rosas. There was a brief reformation of the band during his incarceration, which saw the initial release of compilation album 1.3.8., and a brief reformation upon his release in 2002. The third reformation years later has seen two re-releases of 1.3.8, two DVDs and two full length albums, Butcher the Weak and Unleash the Carnivore. At the moment, band is touring and writing material for their upcoming album.
Devourment was formed in 1995 on the breakup of Dallas death metal band Necrocide. Necrocide's drummer, Brad Fincher, and guitarist, Braxton Henry, met up with former Meatus vocalist Wayne Knupp to play brutal death metal.[ However, the newly-formed band achieved little—Knupp moved back to his hometown of Chicago, and Fincher moved to San Antonio for educational reasons. Months later, when the two of them had moved back to Dallas, Henry had formed his own band—Dead Industry. Knupp got in contact with someone he had known years earlier, Brian "Brain" Wynn, and they reformed the band.[3][4] This lineup is often cited as the 'original'. The band then developed their first promo, featuring two songs, "Shroud of Encryption" and "Festering Vomitous Mass", which was produced by former and future guitarist Braxton Henry.
Over the next few months, Kevin Clark (formerly of Sintury) joined the band as a secondary guitarist, and Mike Majewski joined on bass. Majewski had previously worked publicizing the band and providing artwork. He had first seen Devourment when their only song was "Shroud of Encryption".[6] The band recorded "Choking on Bile" which they added to their original demo. This was released in 1997 by Corpsegristle Records under the name of Impaled. Knupp later left the band "due to some internal problems". He was replaced by Ruben Rosas, who played guitars and provided vocals in a local band called Detrimental.Since their foundation, the band released a demo, Impaled, and an album, Molesting the Decapitated, before disbanding due to the jailing of vocalist Ruben Rosas.
