Shame on me – of course I‘ve heard the name of the band before but incorrectly thought DEVICIOUS are a female fronted symphonic metal outfit and for I‘m not too deeply into this kind of music anymore, I left the bunch unnoticed until now. But these guys from Karlsruhe have a great frontman in Antonio Calanna and definetely are one of the hardest working bands in the Melodic Rock genre over the last couple of years. Three propper CDs in less than 24 months speak for itself. I can only talk about this album, but if you think that Melodic Rock of the highest order must come from Scandinavia nowadays, you are wrong. DEVICIOUS even rival the mighty H.E.A.T on nearly each and every track of their highly praised “H.E.A.T II“ chart breaker. Check out killer cuts like “You Can‘t Stop“; „Walk Through Fire“ or „Mysterious“ and you surely are as convinced as me. “Phase Three“ easily reaches the class of every HUMAN ZOO album with ease and so the reasoning is crystal clear: If entertainment is your goal, you need to have this album!
