Vocalist Morgan Riley shares her thoughts on the song’s deeply personal themes:

“I wrote the lyrics for ‘Devour’ in the midst of a breakdown of a long-term friendship. I realized this person had been taking advantage of my kindness and generosity for a long time. When I started calling them out, they became increasingly adversarial. I realized they would never take accountability and instead surrounded themselves with yes-men and substances. ‘Devour’ is about realizing this person was never the friend I thought they were.”

They recently wrapped up a short run of dates with Butcher Babies. The band will play alongside Filth in March and Infected Rain in May, with more performances to be announced in the weeks to come. See all confirmed shows below.
