Title - ‘Devilution: The Early Years 1981-1993’
Artist - London May

For those not acquainted with him, London May is an American rock drummer, born in Raleigh, North Carolina, USA, but raised in Baltimore, MD. He is best known for playing drums in Glenn Danzig's post-Misfits/pre-Danzig punk/goth band Samhain, which he joined in the summer of 1985. May played on the group's best known release, November-Coming-Fire as well as Samhain Live '85–'86 and the bonus tracks on the 2001 re-release of the band's last album Final Descent.

Devilution: The Early Years 1981-1993 is a devilishly good sampling of the early years and evolution of the revered stickman, and showcases May’s numerous musical ties with seminal punk/noise bands in the '80s and early '90s! Featuring rare tracks by Samhain and Circle Jerks, plus tracks by pioneering hardcore punks Dag Nasty, Lunch Box (with TSOL's Ron Emory), Distorted Pony (produced by Steve Albini), and more, Devilution: The Early Years 1981-1993 is as frenetically brilliant as you could ever have hoped for it to be!
