Cult underground death metallers DEVOURMENT have signed to Relapse Records.

DEVOURMENT’s (Mike Majewski – vocals, Ruben Rosas – guitar, vocals, Chris Andrews – bass, Eric Park – drums) calling card is absolute brutality, and their three previous albums and international touring and festival appearance have made them one of the more talked about bands in the worldwide death metal underground.

DEVOURMENT’s Majewski commented on the signing; “We are extremely excited to be a part of the amazing Relapse roster! To be alongside the list of past and present Relapse bands that we hold in such high regard is truly an honor for us.”

DEVOURMENT kicks-off a headlining European tour in support of their 2009 release Unleash The Carnivore on August 12th. This tour will launch with a performance as part of Party San Open Air and also includes stops at the Brutal Assault Festival, Mountains of Death Open Air, and Metal Mean Festival. DEVOURMENT has also just announced a four-week U.S. tour alongside CATTLE DECAPITATION. A listing of confirmed tour dates and cites can be found below with more to be announced shortly.
