Devitalized - PRESHOW RITUALS

In this Preshow Rituals segment, the deathcore band, Devitalized, reveals what they do before taking the stage. You can check out the rituals below:

Devitalized has an awesome pre-show ritual that we do before every performance. It was actually brought up by our bassist, Tommy Guns. In this ritual, we all gather in a circle, like in a football huddle, and hype each other up. We encourage and support one another, reminding ourselves that we're going to rock the stage, even if we make minor mistakes or miss a snare hit. The purpose is to keep the energy, momentum, and love high.

Tommy then leads us in a modified football chant that goes like this: "We hit the stage like woah, All day like woah, All night like woah, In the pit like woah, On the stage like woah, all the guitars like woah, all the fans like woah, bass drums like woah, Devitalized like WOAH WOAH WOAH!" This chant gets us pumped up and crazy! Sometimes, we add more elements to the chant, like mentioning the names of other bands on the bill or our own bandmates' names. Our goal is to make it fun and extra exciting. We also love including the other artists we're performing with because we're all there to have a blast!

This ritual is really special to us. Despite practicing a lot, we still get nervous jitters before going on stage. But this ritual helps us release any fear and get ready to give our best performance every single time. It's a great bonding experience and when we include the other bands in the chant, it gets them hyped up too! We enjoy it so much and it always puts a smile on our faces.
