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.

Why we ask

Advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations we have not put up a paywall, and we refuse to add annoying advertising, so we need to ask for your help. Side-Line’s independent journalism takes time, money and hard work to produce, and we do it to push the artists we like, who are equally fighting to survive.
