The Ðevil & the Uñiverse

The Devil & the Universe is an enigmatic project that has steadily carved out a unique niche within the dark ambient and experimental music scene. Formed by Ashley Dayour, David Pfister, and Stefan Elsbacher, the trio has been conjuring their particular brand of sound since their formation in 2012. Their name, inspired by the tarot card "The Devil" and the concept of a godless universe, hints at the esoteric and mystical themes that permeate their music.

Their body of work is a fascinating blend of occult symbolism, ritualistic rhythms, and a diverse range of samples and synthesizer tones that together create a hauntingly atmospheric soundscape. Albums like "Endgame 69," "Goatopia," and "Folk Horror" are testament to their ability to craft immersive experiences that are as thought-provoking as they are sonically rich. The group is also known for their thematic projects such as the "Walpern" series, which showcase their talent for transforming folklore and myth into avant-garde sound. With their latest releases, including the festive yet eerie "Thank Goat It's Christmas" and the gripping "GOATopian Landscapes EP," The Devil & the Universe continue to explore the shadowy intersections between the ancient and the modern, the sacred and the profane.
