1) Devotee is a Brazilian band known for their unique blend of classic rock and metal with elements of progressive, doom, and black metal. Their music features dark and dramatic tones, highlighted by memorable choruses and solos. The band maintains an air of mystery by keeping its members' identities confidential, enhancing their enigmatic presence.

In March 2021, Devotee introduced themselves to the public with the release of their single and lyric video, "Say Yes To This Dance." This debut drew positive attention from both media and specialized websites. The following month, they released their album, Rites of Passage, which further established their distinctive sound and solidified a fanbase.

Observers have noted similarities between Devotee's style and that of the Swedish band Ghost, particularly in their visual themes and musical influences. Devotee employs macabre masks and attire, contributing to a theatrical and mysterious image reminiscent of Ghost's early presentations. Despite these comparisons, Devotee distinguishes themselves through their unique fusion of genres and artistic expressions.

Devotee's commitment to quality is evident in their music production, visual aesthetics, and overall presentation, marking them as a notable and emerging force in the contemporary metal scene in Brazil, but surely reaching outside its borders.

2) Devotee is a project from 2018 that 0 (Michael Mosher) did four albums with, all in the same year. It is an outlet for, and a reflection of, a lot of emotions, trouble, and spiritual fluctuations that 0 was going through at this particular period of time.
Within the music, aesthetic, and imagery of Devotee's first two albums, influences can be detected from Left-Handed Islamic ideation, gnostic glorifying of the Demiurge (reverse-Gnosticism), and Pre-Islamic Paganism.
"Sacred Visions" is full of raw hymns to the Demiurge. (as a Left-handed interpretation of Gnosticism, and a rejection of the Gnostic concepts).
Things take a sharp turn to the left with the release of "Grey Metal," which almost shares more common territory with Noise music. Catastrophically atonal, fraught throughout with dense, relentless anxiety, and suffocating esoterism, it is probably uneasy listening. Read more on Last.fm.
