Devils

Devils was primarily a French-based demo group, founded sometime in mid to late 1990. The group later recruited both German and Norwegian members, and the Norwegian section, in particular, was at one point very productive.

Over the years, the group included several highly talented members who would later become well-known in the scene. French graphic artists Rhah and Mack, along with German coder Zulu, were all part of Devils before rising to prominence in other groups.

In April 1992, together with fellow French groups End of Century 1999 and Dreamdealers, Devils announced plans to organize a major party in Montpellier, France, called The Beach Party, aimed at around 800 visitors. Three invitations were released, but only about a month before the event, Dreamdealers withdrew from the project. This led to disputes between the groups, and numerous “fuckings” can be found in subsequent releases. Eventually, the entire project fell through, and The Beach Party was never held — causing many members to leave for other groups.

The Norwegian section started strong in 1993, releasing several solid intros and packs during the first half of the year. Later that year, most of its members left to form their own group, Shamrock, effectively bringing the Norwegian division to an end.

Apart from a few releases in the Party Cocktail series, the intro Fishtro is, as far as I know, the final release from Devils.
