The Devil And The Universe is proud to present its latest and third album "Benedicere". The ever-evolving and design-oriented The Devil And The Universe project has a toolbox filled with musical and imagery equipment as provided by all things e.g. religious iconography. These influences are arranged in a modern and original way, the new interpretation a pre-conception-free reflection of musical genres including Ritual Ambient, New and Minimal Wave. Director and film-score composer John Carpenter (Halloween) describes their vivid music: "I really like it. It’s original and evocative."
The protagonists of The Devil And The Universe, Ashley Dayour, Stefan Elsbacher and David Pfister, call their music "Goat-Wave".
In the court of content, Christian mysticism plays a decisive role on this album. To capture the essence of the musical content, the band travelled to the most visited pilgrimage site in the world- Lourdes, France, as well as to the Spanish Santa Maria de Montserrat Abbey and the Vatican in Rome. The Devil And The Universe are passionately immersed with a sincere affinity in the world of Catholic-Christian thought.
