Devin recently announced the 3rd release in his Devolution series – ‘Empath Live In America’, which will be launched on the 4th of August 2023. The Devolution series so far has comprised some unique live performances, and this one is no different. ‘Empath Live In America’ is a document of the tour that was cut short in early 2020 due to the onset of the pandemic. As Dev explains: “Hello everyone :) continuing in the ‘Devolution’ series of albums (which has been an avenue for us to release cool little curiosities on the side of regular releases) we bring you ‘Devolution #3 - Empath Live In America’. This was a very unique tour for me, and one that was regrettably cut short by the pandemic.

It was a stripped-back version of the ‘Order of Magnitude’ band (without choir and a few other members…), but as I try to do with each tour, the goal was to make this a unique and special night. Therefore, this tour marked a ‘free form’ version of the material. There were no backing tracks, click tracks, or even a setlist, so every night was unique and different. The audience yelled out requests and we just rolled with it. The material was therefore interpreted in unique ways and the experience was a very special ‘fly by the seat of our pants’ musical night. It’s a raw and off-kilter performance and I’m thrilled to have documented it. Until the next ‘real’ release, I hope you enjoy this rarity from a special, albeit ill-fated tour.” Featuring a stripped-back version of the ‘Order of Magnitude' band, this release captures a raw and off-kilter performance. You can hear the band run through the Casualties Of Cool track ‘Forgive Me’ Listen to the previously released ‘Evermore’ here:    • "Evermore (Live)" - Empath: Live in A...   The line-up for this album saw Devin joined by Mike Keneally, Nathan Navarro, Diego Tejeida, Morgan Ågren, and Ché Aimee Dorval. ‘Devolution #3 – Empath Live In America’ will be available as a limited CD digipak, Gatefold 180g 2LP, and as a digital album.
