Russian harsh EBM duo Invisible Devastation returns with first new material in years: ‘I Am Bastard’

Out via SkyQode now is “I Am Bastard”, a new single by the Russian harsh EBM duo Invisible Devastation. It’s the first material from the duo after several years of total studio silence. You can check the 5-track release right below. The single features new versions of “I Am Bastard” and “Invasion” from the debut album. Both tracks showcase the band’s current sound. The release also includes two remixes by N-616 and Sergie Mercury, as well as the instrumental version of the title track.
Invisible Devastation was formed back in 2009, as a secret project of two members of the synthpop band Mechanical Apfelsine. In 2015, they released their debut album “The 13th Apostle” but after releasing a follow-up EP in 2016, the duo went on a prolonged hiatus. The band is currently in the studio working on brand new material, due to be released later this year.
Here’s a lyric video for the title track as well.
Chief editor of Side-Line – which basically means I spend my days wading through a relentless flood of press releases from labels, artists, DJs, and zealous correspondents. My job? Strip out the promo nonsense, verify what’s actually real, and decide which stories make the cut and which get tossed into the digital void. Outside the news filter bubble, I’m all in for quality sushi and helping raise funds for Ukraine’s ongoing fight against the modern-day axis of evil.
Since you’re here …
… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can - and we refuse to add annoying advertising. So you can see why we need to ask for your help.
Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.
If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
