Despite it's very sad to hear of all the struggle you and Brian went through - it's great to hear that you recovered, I'm thrilled knowing that Psychotic Waltz may keep releasing new albums and Deadsoul Tribe are coming back! Thank you Devon! Thank you all!
The God Shaped Void is a real gem; atmospheric with great sounding guitars. Can’t listen to it unless I play it all the way through. Every musician strives to produce an album like this but very few succeed. I have been listening to metal since the 80’s and deeply appreciate the effort that went into TGSV. I hope to one day hear something new from PW, but understand life happens. Thanks PW for such a brilliant album.
Psychotic Waltz lives with us. We do hope it would return sooner or later.
I wanted to say that the Psychotic Waltz music attracted a core audience that will accept that our 'rock star heroes' grow older, as the core audience has grown older with you... The songs from the albums (including the new stellar release, congratulations) are like soul music to the core audience and they cannot be damaged by a bad note or a strained performance. It is a privilege that this collection of talents made music for this audience, and it is sad if material realities like expenses of touring life to support a human being with a disability will deprive us from seeing you again but even in that case, nothing from what you achieved can be diminished by the effects of what is in the end the passage of time. The music is eternal. An eternal, absolute joy, shimmering in the night sky. As part of the core audience I only say thank you.
hope Psychotic Waltz keeps recording albums at least (the music is most important)...
waiting to see psychotic waltz live again! Love from Greece!
Looking forward to it! Love both bands.
So excited for you and for the new music you're creating. Dead Soul Tribe were for a large part, the soundtrack to my student years and early adulthood. It's a beautiful thing to hear the journey continues. When I put that new record on, it will be like uniting with an old friend.... one who has grown and changed and with fresh stories to tell. Best wishes on your creative journey, I can't wait to hear it. 🙏😎
Thank you Devon for opening up to us about everíthing. I was really-really looking forward to seeing you live, but of course health and safety come first. I wish you all the best, and I'm so happy that that more music will come! Greetings from Hungary!
THANK YOU DEVON FOR YOUR FANTASTIC WORK KEEP UP THE GOOD WORKS
Some sad news and some great news. So happy to hear there will be more music and new Deadsoul Tribe material. PW is my all time favorite band and I love everything you've done musically. I even have The Strange Mind of Buddy Lackey on CD lying around somewhere. :) Wish you all the best!
Oh man, i feel like a kid on Christmas morning, Thank you Devon! Also, i'm so glad Adel will be back, his drumming is just something else. After all these years, DST is still on top ... for me at least and i know for many people too. Thank you so much!
You know perfectly well what I think of this new music that you are creating, you are a genius Devon, I can only thank you for that and my always deep admiration for overcoming adversity, you have great strength. 💞
I feel lucky to have seen you live 3 times.First time in 2007 I think with DST,second time with PW 11 years ago,and a third time in a solo acoustic live in Greece. DST is one of my fave bands ever so I am really happy for the news.I am looking forward to listening to the new record!
Devon you are one of the best singers in metal definitely in prog metal . I have always supported you as you know in both psychotic waltz and dead soul tribe amongst other projects you have been involved with.
I am glad I got to see psychotic waltz live 6 times in Europe even if i had to fly or take the ferry. I support psychotic waltz and dead soul tribe in the future. I wish you well ill be happy to review and interview both bands in the future.
Thanks a lot for the cool interview we did a year ago. God bless you all. Jason
Psychotic waltz are totally underrated musicians and deserve more respect. ❤
I've always been a big Deadsoul Tribe fan, hope to hear more! I like Psychotic Waltz, but Dead Soul Tribe was my entry point to hear you sing, and that's where my heart has been. I've always felt that there had to be more Dead Soul Tribe that was missing from this universe and to me this is great news. Can you at least give us a trailer of the new song? Just a taste?
and any other Shadow Theory
Go for it man, you know we'll buy it....
Looking forward.😊
you Sir are a legend
Love your videos lookin forward to the next one as well
I am so sorry that Dan has to go through all of these painful experiences. Since I myself had surgery on both arms, I can understand it very well. Sometimes getting older really isn't fun. But OMG! A new Dead Soul Tribe Album. I can't wait to get my hands on it and put it in my sound system. 🤩
I'm very glad to hear that Deadsoul Tribe is back! You guys made some great music and murder of crows is one of my all-time favorite albums. If the new stuff tops that, it may cause the apocalypse because planet Earth wouldn't be able to absorb the awesomeness of the sound!😊😊
Seriously, glad to hear this news and I'm really looking forward to the new album. Made my day!
Oh, man. A Murder of Crows is such a good album.
Great news for DsT. Can't wait to hear the new stuff. Really glad to hear from you Devon, I would occasionally check your channel, no news, no nothing... started to worry a bit. :)
All the best to you guys!
So happy for these news. we are waiting for your return in Greece
We really can't wait Devon. Rock on
here with you wherever you go.
💪🏼🤘🏼🤞🏼
Hi there. What you ve decided as a band (Psychotic Waltz) it THE most honest thing a band could do for their fans. To me this band is the most important in my life. Managed to see you live at least once (most of the show was trying to see through teardrops but i ve made it ) and I prefer to have more albums that will remain for ever ,than another show without any of you five and even more putting on jeopardy one's life. Thank you. All of my love from a Greek fan.
Good to hear there will be new music coming!
Surely sad that PW will not tour anymore. I'm glad I saw you guys live 4 times (3 times back in the 90s and in 2017).
Cheers
Well... its been a while, mate! Wish it become soon as possible.
perhaps you remember me from a gig of Psychotic Waltz in "93 or "94 in Gent Belgium from the a social grace tour. You gave me your CD the strange mind of buddy lackey and I have given you a necklace with an obsidian stone (black) it was a small pub. but you guys played amazing. I was then 18 years old now I am 48. You are amazing.. the strange mind of buddy lackey is amazing I still play it. I love everting you do. After I saw you in Belgium I saw you live at Dynamo open air.!
Ohmygod. I heard the waltz throughout my youth and it's sad to see an end to touring.
I ended up here cuz after not hearing it for over a year I suddenly had "I remember " stuck in my head
The last video with the killer bass line and almost Santana undertone, was very sexy. Very cool for us old people, 😆 🤣
Thanks my little brother!
💙💙💙 thanks Devon 💙💙💙💙
I Remember is a masterpiece
Devon, I've been a Psychotic Waltz fan for about 15-20 years and, well, I was in one of those Greek audiences you were talking about at the beginning (really happy we brought you that kind of joy when you were playing here; sad that the band won't come again :( ). I have a question: I noticed you named many prices in Euros so I looked at the location of the channel. Do you live in Austria now? How come?
By the way, there was something magical about that band...
YAY!!! Dead Soul Tribe is one of my favoite bands ever. "A Murder of Crows" is one of the best albums ever made by anyone. It's rigt up there with "Tommy"
"Rumors" "Sgt Peppers" etc. And the rest of the lbums are great as well. I'd kill to see Dead Soul Tribe live.
Whoa! I'm speechless and honoured. Thank you!🤟
OMG!! What a great announcement. I just hope PW will still live on.
Psychotic Waltz were my absolute favorite band since my youth. So of course it made me sad to hear that you won't be performing anymore. But I can understand it completely. Health is more important than anything else. And so it's an absolutely understandable and good reason for me that Brian takes his health into consideration here and the rest of the band stands by him, so to speak. A colleague at work once told me "There are many jobs, but you only have your health once, so don't waste your time with jobs that ruin your health" - maybe playing in a band is more than just a job, but you still shouldn't put your health at risk for it.
But I'm also happy to hear that there is new material from Dead Soul Tribe - I'm looking forward to the album!
Hey Devon, it's Tim Rhode from Perpetual in San Diego, remember me? I'm sad to hear that Psychotic Waltz won't be touring anymore, but I'm excited to hear more new stuff from both Psychotic Waltz and Deadsoul Tribe! Anything you do in my opinion is gold!!!! Keep it up brother!
Hey Tim, of course I remember you. If I hadn't left the US, we'd probably still be jamming together. With real drums instead of the KAT ;)
@@devon-graves-studio-D it's nice to be remembered! I would like to hear some new Shadow Theory. I'm sure I'm not the only one! It would be nice to share with you some music I've been working on over the years. How would I get that to you?
Best news
I’m from San Diego and I’ve been a big fan of PW, I was in bands in SD when PW was in their prime and yet I only saw them live I think one time. Psychotic Waltz has always been my favorite San Diego band. I still wear my A Social Grace T shirt often. I still listen to all the PW albums often. While I’m a little bummed I’ll never see the band live, I have tons of respect for the guys for choosing to stop touring. I’ll be looking forward to hearing new recordings.
Looking forward to the new Dead Soul Tribe album !
I Want Deadsoul Tribe.... NOW!
Devon, apart from the gigs with Waltz in Greece, the Dead Soul Tribe concert in Thessaloniki was one of the most emotional gigs I've been...and I've attended so many. I remember how you and the band played with heart and soul, and in most of the songs, during the concert, your eyes were closed feeling the music and playing with your mind and body. A big experience, you were with us on an out of this world music trip...
More Deadsoul Tribe ! :D yesss
Sorry to hear about Psychotic Waltz. That band delivered some of the most impressive music ever.
Now I am all psyched up for your new music. Sounds promising. Hope the Dutch audience is ok enough to be included in future touring schedules…..
Thanks Herold, the dutch audience makes one wonder if they even like you. I remember playing the last PW gig there and the audience held back quite a bit. I met Arjen Lucassen there who congratulated me on a great show. I said "I don't know about that, they didn't seem to care for it much." Arjen said, "No no! The loved it! That's just how they are here in Holland" So okay, I hope to come back there :) I guess as long as they show up, that is love enough:)
Well, I always had a blast seeing PW an DS from Enschede in the early nineties until the PW concert in Amersfoort. I thought the crowd was very enthusiastic. I for one was cheering my lungs out, being hoarse for days after.
Your comment does put a lot of great memories in a different light.
@@heroldboertjens4227 That's the thing, I also remember some great shows in Rotterdam and other places now that you mention it. It's just that last one that seemed more subdued, but Arjen said that was normal. Certainly the Theater Equation was mind blowing ;)

Thank you so much for talking about your fans here in Greece! We truly deeply love your music!
Hi Devon. PW was always my top band and im so unreal happy, that i saw them live on last gig in Wien within Power of metal tour (and i saw twice DST live in Slovakia too). It was some sad news about PW, but some optimistic too. I can't wait for new DST album. In this case i would like ask you, have you any plans of vinyl re-issues of previous DST albums? Best wishes and many thanks for info.
Juraj, Slovakia
Hi Juraj, I do plan to do that. There might be some out there of the first two. I can check...
Lions mane and stretches will kick carpel tunnel no surgery
Lions mane mushroom supplement worked for me!
Both have come full circle. 🤔 is that the name of new album, " Infinite" ,? Hmmmmm😅
Hey man discovered Psychotic Waltz back in December last year and have been absolutely loving every bit of music you and the rest of the guys have created over the years. I'd go as far as to say you guys created your own genre. I just can't seem to find any bands similar to the likes of Darkstar, strange mind, Teabag, End Amen, and of course Psychotic Waltz if you know of any please don't hesitate to let me know, the closest I've gotten to finding aomething was Spiral Architect and Behind the Curtain. But anywho, I'd like to ask you a couple questions. First of all, Would you mind listing off some and your and the bands main inspirations? Second, do you think it would be possible to re-arrange Dark Millenium into a more complete album with vocals and other instrumentation added as well? Is that something you and the guys would consider? And third, is a Social Grace Mosquito Bleeding Into the Everflow?
Hey there, Thanks for the kind words. I know Spiral Architect. Bernie, the bass player was hanging around the band in Germany back in the early days, so any similarity is probably not a coincidence. Anyway, the reasson we may sound so different is in the answer to one of your questions, asking about our influences. Norm was into all sorts of metal, like Mercyful fate, to Fates Warning... thrash all thst studd. The heavier the better. Ward was into 70n prog, Yes, Rush Pink Floyd. Dan as into Queensryche, Randy Rhodes, The Beatles, Van Halen. Brian was into Kiss, AC-DC Maiden, etc. I was into Zeppelin, Sabbath, Jethro Tull Bowie, Bob Marley, Bad Brains, Janes Addiction Queen. We all shared bands between us too. The key was, we each played like the bands we likes simultaneously, and got whqt we got. Your last question was rhetorical so I'll leave it there. Dark Mellinium will never be more than it is. I had literrally nothing to do with that one.
@@devon-graves-studio-D dude thanks for getting back to me on this, you're awesome. Those influences you mentioned explain SO much about your guys sound. Fates warning and Jethro Tull were pretty obvious of course but man I had no idea how varied your guys tastes were. and it all comes together so well. Thx again and thank you and the rest of the guys for, in some ways, making my musical dreams come true. Truly inspiring musicianship. Hope to hear about the new deadsoul album and what's next for PW soon. Hold on I just thought of something. What about the bass player on Bleeding? Was he simply filling in like Steve cox was or did he also contribute musically on that album?
Phil initiated the intro bass line on Faded. But most of the bass lines were written either by Dan of Myself. Phil also shot and directed the Faded and My Grave videos on 16mm film, as he was a SDSU film student at the time.@@Lovestone_blind
Something like Sleep Token?!? Bring it! Something different? Bring it!
Devon thanks for sharing your thoughts after such a long time!
I'm sorry for Psychotic (read the news about 2 months ago), but i had time to realize what was lost and look into the future with a more optimistic viewpoint (maybe new album - reissues).
Just saw that Patrick Engel finished the masters of the PW albums. As a record collector, i love discovering nuggets of news like this - makes me optimistic about the future and having some secondary goals. Makes life more spicy and have more essence. Can't wait for them!
Also along with the new Deadsoul Tribe album, could you please remaster (or at least re-release) the old Deadsoul Tribe albums! I'd like to have everything from you (i also can't find Shadow Theory)! And maybe Insideout could work an agreement to release Darkstar and Dan Rock/Brian McAlpin stuff (End Amen) and all of Norm's bands!
Anyway can't wait to hear what you have to provide!
Greetings from Greece sir!
Best music i have ever experience was you and psychotic waltz live in Denmark Copenhagen at "barbue" (candlemass and video on stage.... Lots og guitar solos). I remember i was saying to you end show where you walked of the little stage... "Fucking great" and you said Thanks. I was so LUCKY to see you again in 1995 and last time in 1996 at "Loppen" Christiania.
I knew too that this 5 album void something was when you lost me (a big bummer).... A Lot of singing technic but SHIT boring guitar and drums as was it Nirvana 🤕. I hope the others from psychotic waltz Will make something instrumental or find another singer because they got super stuff in their brains and better end this album 5 with some progressive playing. Then you can make your radio pop in Devon Grace and be played in the radio until you see that money is something in the stupid head planet earth (sorry but album 5 was not All together....it was you). Goodbye buddy lackey or whatever your name is 🙄
Thanks for the first half. The second is unfortunate. If PW got another singer, the only thing that would be any different is the singing. They write and play what they want, not what I want. The only composition I made musically on the record was "Demystified". Sorry we lost you there mate, but we all were very happy with that album. Maybe you should make a band and show us how it's done.
@@devon-graves-studio-D Can writing be to long 🤔 I just send and cannot see the text anywhere. But you/PW are the BEST back in a social grace and into the everflow 🤫😁🤘. I do also love guitar and did this my way of eruption when i was 20. ua-cam.com/video/lHtu5d9M_U4/v-deo.html
