Matches in DBpedia 2014 for { ?s ?p Devolution is a US based industrial metal band established by Mike Garrett, later recording under the pseudonym of Mykill Mayhem. The first release from Devolution, entitled "Cerebrequiem", was in the genre of death metal and was released in 1996, featuring session musicians assembled from Mykill's previous band, Astaroth. Singer Larry Sapp (also a member of national recording artist Brutality) performed vocals, and Tony Laureano (also a member of Angel Corpse, Nile, and Malevolent Creation, and several other national recording artists in the death metal genre) lent his talents in recording the drums for the CD. Another death metal album was written, but technical difficulties and Laureano's touring schedule with Nile prevented this album from being released. The next release was written and recorded in 1999, entitled, Self-Made Monster. This release was in the vein of the industrial metal genre, and was more well-received than the previous release. "Death's Shadow" was the first single to be promoted, and charted at number 1 on mp3.com for two months for the industrial genre from January 2000 to March 2000, with the second single, "Crack Rocks In The Engine Block" charting at number 2 in industrial charts, and the third single, "Flesh", charting in the top 10 in industrial charts on mp3.com, all simultaneously. "Death's Shadow" hit number 1 as well on the CMJ loud music charts in 2000, and on mpulse.com in early 2001 (in their gothic/industrial category), both times with "Death's Shadow". Mpulse.com did a dual promotion with Hot Topic at that time, and "Death's Shadow" was also chosen as one of the first tracks to be streaming on Hot Topic radio online. At this time, Mykill decided to trademark the band name Devolution, and it is still currently registered with the USPTO.The next release, Grave Matters, in 2001, also was fraught with technical difficulties, so only two singles were released from the intended tracks, "Suck It", and the title track. "Suck It" hit number 1 on Mpulse.com in the Gothic/Industrial category as well in March 2001. Mykill joined the band Sister Kill Cycle shortly thereafter, and did not release as Devolution again until 2007 with United Slaves of Amerika, demonstrating Mykill's research into, and growing concern for, the loss of civil liberties in the US following the tragedy of 9/11. The song "DCOG (District of Columbia Original Gangsters)" hit number 1 on Myspace.com in the Florida Industrial charts in early 2008, and material is currently being written for the next release to be entitled, "American Apocalypse".. }
