    Artist History
    Guitarist Mike Garrett founded DEVOLUTION, & after releasing their debut CD, "Cerebrequiem," Mike decided to experiment with fusing his death metal guitar style with other influences acquired throughout the years, including techno grooves & gothic orchestral sounds. Vast amounts of hallucinogenics were ingested during the composition of the CD, & Mike experienced several schizophrenically psychedelic episodes, culminating in the birth of his alter ego, MYKILL MAYHEM, a hideous freak of synthetic mutation. The resulting CD was aptly entitled “Self – Made Monster,” the latest release from DEVOLUTION.

    Press Reviews
    Digital Music Monthly - 1-23-01 "This CD peeled my face off, & eroded my brain into a gelatinous substance!" KNAC.COM - 5/24/00 - "Witness 'Self-Made Monster', the Soundtrack From Hell with Devolution, a self-described 'Underground Gothic Industrial Metal' band from the Tampa Bay, Florida area. 'Crack Rocks in the Engine Block' attacks you with full force energy and venom and will leave you reeling, so descend into the bowels of the underworld and download it now!" Focus Magazine - 4/27/00 - "Machine-shopped drum patterns, shearing/shattering guitar crunch, churning bass lines, along with Mayhem's notorious gurgle-sing make for a venomous session with these 7 creepy-crawly tracks." "Includes a funky follow-up to Al Jourgenson's (MINISTRY) 'Jesus Built My Hot Rod,' with the indie title of 2000: 'Crack Rocks In The Engine Block'." Groove Magazine - 5/7/00 - "kick-starts some motion in your ass & really gets it moving!" "…a devilishly good CD!" Jam Magazine - 5/25/00 - "An interesting mix of necromancy, Satanism, carnal desires and hedonism set to a booming drum machine backdrop and mulled over with spooky keyboards and metal guitar dirges."
