The Devil and the Sea

Formed as a doom metal outfit in Lafayette, Lousiana, Devil and the Sea united musicians who had previously performed in Icepick Revival and Collapsar. During their first year together the group issued a four-track demo that drew enough attention for Dave on guitar and vocals, Shane on drums, and Ryan on bass and vocals to obtain a recording agreement with Acerbic Noise Development. The label issued the band’s debut album, Heart vs. Spine, which was scheduled to appear in the fall of 2007.
