Founded in 1989 in Crete and stamped by a primitive thrash/death metal style, 
Deviser moved to Athens in 1992 and attracted the interest of the underground scene with demos 
and a 7" EP in 1994, entitled "The Revelation Of Higher Mysteries" (Teutonic Existence Records)
A mini tour took place in Greece and Holland (Dec. '94) in the context of the promotion 
and in the next year, Deviser released "Thy blackest Love" demo. 
With this release, they signed up with the Dutch label Mascot Records for two full length Cds. 
Deviser recorded their debut album "Unspeakable Cults" at Praxis studio (Athens) in August/September '96.
This album dragged air into the burning lungs of black metal with a unique sense of extremity with dreamy melodies, offering melodic black metal with some atmospheric keyboards and the unavoidable Hellenic sound. 
The music is brilliantly composed, with a perfect mixture of aggression and melody. 
Another classic from the Greek scene.

  3. This album has been one of my faves ever since I bought it at a local record store in 1996. Personally I prefer this to "Transmission to Chaos" but to each their own. It's a good album too but not as great as this. Same with "Running Sore" and the most recent one I haven't heard yet, should get off my ass and buy it.

    1. Having heard also Transmission to Chaos i must admit that i still prefer Unspeakable Cults but like you said Velkaarn at the end it's all a matter of taste.As for their latest releases i haven't heard any of them.
