Ecstasies of Never Ending Night witnesses Philadelphia’s DEVIL MASTER at its core – their roots in ritual magick have never been more prominent. Recorded live to analog tape by Pete DeBoer (Blood Incantation, Spectral Voice), Ecstasies expands on the warped riffing and dark atmospheres that have already propelled DEVIL MASTER as one of the underground’s most unique and unfettered bands.

The blackened punk maelstrom of “Acid Black Mass” sets the tone for Ecstasies. Sonically speaking, it is peak DEVIL MASTER. “It’s the perfect evolution of our sound,” lead guitarist Darkest Prince enthuses. “It’s Japanese metal-punk d-beat meets black metal. There’s plenty of GISM and Mobs in there, but also Celtic Frost and Gorgoroth.” “Acid Black Mass” is available today across all digital platforms via Relapse alongside a video directed by Erica Frevel and edited by Hayden Hall.

As Darkest Prince points out, Ecstasies is a step above and beyond its predecessor. “This album is more mature and self-confident,” he says. “It’s moving past childish Satanism towards a more mature dark spirituality. This one is not relying on stereotypical tropes. It’s a real magickal experience.”

In many ways, Ecstasies is meant to mirror Satan Spits On Children Of Light. “This and the last album are mirrored opposites, right down to the titles,” Darkest Prince points out. “There’s even an instrumental in the middle of the album, like last time. I believe in balance, so there’s a spiritual aspect to it. And it just feels good.”
