DEVIL ELECTRIC RETURN WITH TAHLIA
It’s been five long years since we have heard those tones and that voice but now, Devil Electric have roared back with Tahlia, their third studio album and most emotionally charged release to date.
At its core, Tahlia is an album about fracture and survival, pain, frustration and relationships breaking under pressure. Uncannily, its themes mirror the years that followed its recording, which only strengthen the emotive undertones of Tahlia. Delivered through soaring vocals, unforgettable hooks, and searing riffs.
The journey begins with the title track and first single, “Tahlia” a riff-driven return to the band’s classic sound. It charts a visceral descent from rock bottom to redemption. A tango between vintage doom metal and modern heavy rock. Tahlia is a homage to the Latin phrase “that which nourishes me, destroys me” told through a blend of energetic verses, chanting choruses, and moody riffs. All designed to leave the listener in an enigmatic state of mind.
Frontwoman Pierina O'Brien says of Tahlia “this song really represents Devil Electric at its core. It’s epic in its composition with a sweeping melody that takes me from the low end of my vocal range to its peak.”
Inspired by the goddess Tahlia, the song, establishes the album’s emotional framework - powerful and painful yet laced with a sly sense of humour as it explores the darker edges of life’s so-called joys.
Serving as a confident first single and a thematic anchor, “Tahlia” introduces an album that embraces power, atmosphere and attitude into a sound that’s impossible to ignore.
