DEVIL YOU KNOW, the creative union of Howard Jones (ex-KILLSWITCH ENGAGE), Francesco Artusato (ALL SHALL PERISH) and John Sankey (DEVOLVED), recently released their highly-anticipated album The Beauty of Destruction on Nuclear Blast Entertainment in North America. The record came in at #45 on the US Billboard Top 200 Chart and at #3 on the Hard Rock Chart, in its first week of sales according to Nielson Soundscan. “No matter how much work we've done in the past, or how much success any of us have had in our prior bands,” state the boys from their current tour with BLACK LABEL SOCIETY and DOWN, “we are all excited how things have come together for DEVIL YOU KNOW on record, on the road and with a very strong first week sales! It is a true new beginning indeed!”
The Beauty of Destruction was produced by Logan Mader (5 FINGER DEATH PUNCH, GOJIRA) and mixed by none other than acclaimed producer/mixer Chris “Zeuss” Harris (HATEBREED, CHELSEA GRIN). Artwork was created by noted painter and illustrator Travis Smith (OPETH, DEVIN TOWNSEND). Fans can now order the album with or without an exclusive shirt design at http://smarturl.it/DYK-TBOD-NB.

“The stage is really being set for something incredible to happen” says Australian born drummer John Sankey. It was Artusato’s musical collaboration with Sankey (also a collaborator with FEAR FACTORY) that caught Jones’ attention in late 2012 when demos were passed through mutual acquaintances. Based on the strengths of the two musicians’ efforts, Jones emerged from a two-year hiatus following his decade-long tenure fronting KILLSWITCH, during which the Massachusetts metallers racked up two gold records and a Grammy nomination.
