On signing with Prosthetic, ELDER DEVIL says: "It's both exciting and humbling to be working with a label as prolific as Prosthetic.

In the fall of 2016, Jacob Lee (Hellish Form, PlasticBag FaceMask) and Stephen Muir (Cabin Fire) wanted to form a bleak and abrasive grindcore band with sludge and black metal influences. Inspired by acts such as Trap Them, The Secret, and Rotten Sound, Jacob and Stephen formed ELDER DEVILas a DIY studio project with Stephen providing vocals and lyrics while Jacob handled music and production. They released their first EP, Graves Among the Roots (Medusa Crush Recordings), in 2017 and followed up with the full length, The Light Dimmed Eternal (Crownand Throne Ltd./Roman Numeral Records), in 2019. Shortly after, ELDER DEVILbegan playing as a full band with good friends Ryan Urquidez (dontcryformeimalreadydead, Cabin Fire) on bass and Pete Ruacho (Amenthes, Nani SS) on drums. Their 2021 EP, Fragments of Hell (PlasticSkull Records/SludgeLord Records), marked their firstrelease as a full lineup.

After cancelling nearly all of their shows from March 2020 through 2021 due to the pandemic, including an 11-day West Coast tour, ELDER DEVILdecided to film a live performance to showcase the full lineup playing songs from every release. Performed in their practice space, filmed by long-time cameraman and friend, Steven Thomas, and recorded and mixed by Jacob, Live in Chinatown serves as a love letter to the Fresno scene and to those who have supported the band over the years.

More news and music regarding ELDER DEVIL will be shared over the coming months.
