Wayne decided to move back to his hometown of Chicago, Brad moved to San Antonio, TX to get his education. Months later both Wayne and Brad moved back to the Dallas area and decided to continue the life of the band. However, Braxton Henry had in the meantime already formed a band known as DeadIndustry. Luckily Wayne knew Brian "Brain" Wynn who he used to actually play with a few years before. So after finally contacting him, Brain was introduced to the band whom musically, he clicked with instantaneously.
Soon the trio put out a 2-song promo, which featured Shroud Of Encryption and Festering Vomitous Mass. Several months later with the additions of then guitarist of Sintury Kevin Clark, and underground artist Mike Majewski, Devourment recorded one more song, Choking On Bile, which would be added to the 2-song promo resulting in the 1997 demo released by Corpsegristle Records that gained such a tremendous fan base. The demo would be entitled Impaled.
Wayne Knupp decided to leave the band due to some internal problems leading up to and during the trip to New York. Brain phoned Wayne and fired him from the band as soon as Wayne got back from being left in New York by the band. The band would have a hard time finding a new vocalist, somebody who could most importantly, compare with Wayne's brutal vocal. Their choice would ultimately be guitarist/vocalist of local band Detrimental, Ruben Rosas. Ruben of course was heavily influenced by Wayne in the first place.
The band then landed a record deal in 1999 with United Guttural Records and released the debut CD Molesting The Decapitated. After playing show with such bands as Macabre, Deaden, Cephalic Carnage and Fleshgrind, Ruben was arrested as a fugitive from justice. Ironically this was also the same night that Molesting The Decapitated was released. Not knowing what to do, the band decided it was time to part ways. But due to the overwhelming response from fans worldwide, Devourment reformed minus Brain and adding once again Braxton Henry on guitars and none other than Wayne Knupp on Vocals.
Together they would record one new song entitled Babykiller, which, would be released along with the 3 songs from the "Impaled" demo and the 8 songs from "Molesting The Decapitated". The release was called 1.3.8. No shows would ever be played though and eventually the band faded out.
Ruben was eventually released from his 2 1/2 year incarceration and tried to rejuvinate the band. He eventually recruited various new musicians, played a few shows, but things never really materialized.
A few years went by and Ruben, and original bassist Mike Majewski talked again about reforming the band and finally recording the band's long awaited second album. Eric Park filled in the position of drummer and the band went into the studio of August 2005 and recorded Butcher The Weak. Ruben Rosas took over as sole guitar player in the band, and vocal duties are now handled by former bassist Mike Majewski. The album was released in November of 2005 and went on to gain critical success, as well as praise from Devourment fans all over the world. In 2006, the addition of a new bass player, Chris Andrews (former drummer for Texas based grindcore outfit Kill the Client)completed the current lineup, and Butcher the Weak was completely re-recorded from the ground up with the producer who the band worked with on Molesting the Decapitated, with the new version of Butcher the Weak being released on Brutal Bands Records. Devourment is currently working on their 3rd album to be released late 2008, or early 2009.
Wayne Knupp passed away in 2007 from multiple organ failure.

Choking on Bile
Devourment Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
enter the morgue with a hunger for meat
fuck the newly deceased I need the ones that been dead for ten weeks
Tearing and gashing a limbless torso
Voraciously stuffing my face with grey flesh
The next victim of aids this feast will be held indiscriminately
Moving from corpse to corpse puncturing
Violently, biting, chomping, gnawing on filthy meat
gore soaked, drooling pus, satisfied but not content. To my delight I find and infant corpse without a head.
I begin to feel bile collect in my throat
this liquid filled infant is sure to please me.
I thrust my red knife in its half decayed chest
I'll begin with the heart then devour the rest.
Coughing up rancid pieces of meat
pus drip my hose I start to feel weak
I proceed to vomit this gut-wrenching feast
My insides along with the festering meat
A chunk of intestine lodged in my throat
I slice my own neck as I start to choke my stomach and vessels seep from my neck
blood pours from my face as I approach death
Blood churning out of my face
and spilling on the floor.
The pain intense yet, I still hunger for more
As I fall dying I grab handfuls of tainted meat
I must gorge engorge these putrid steaming
mounds of flesh
Choking, on the flesh, of the dead, Insanity is my disease!
Choking, on the flesh, of the dead, Insanity is my disease!
Choking, on the flesh, of the dead, Insanity is my disease!
Choking, on the flesh, of the dead, Insanity is my disease!
Choking, on the flesh, of the dead, Insanity is my disease!
I lie dead amongst carnage
but this feast isn't complete
the vermin and maggots
will consume what's left of me
rats gnawing, bugs crawling
my dirty flesh is the feast
these insects and rats will reduce me to bones.
The lyrics to Devourment's "Choking on Bile" depict the gruesome actions of a cannibalistic character as he feeds his insatiable hunger by feasting on the decaying corpses of the dead. The song begins with the character sneaking through dark streets and entering a morgue where he seeks out the corpses that have been dead for ten weeks or more. He proceeds to tear apart limbless torsos, stuffing his face with grey flesh, and moving from corpse to corpse, biting, chomping, and gnawing on filthy meat, drooling pus and gore-soaked. The character seems delighted as he stumbles upon an infant corpse without a head, and threatens to thrust his knife into its chest, indulging in this gut-wrenching feast.
As the character gorges, he begins to choke on the flesh and feels bile collecting in his throat, yet feels an increased desire to consume more. He slices his own neck in desperation to stop choking and blood spills out of his face. Despite the pain and agony, the character still hungers for more, grabbing handfuls of tainted meat and insisting that he must gorge himself on these putrid steaming mounds of flesh. The song concludes as the character lies dead amongst carnage with vermin and maggots consuming what is left of his dirty flesh, reducing him to mere bones.
The lyrics are graphic and disturbing, and clearly depict an individual who is deeply troubled and consumed by his hunger for human flesh. The use of gore and violence in the song underscores the dark nature of this character's psychosis and the themes of insanity and disease that are present throughout. The lyrics are a commentary on mental illness, specifically on the depths of depravity that individuals can sink to when consumed by their illness.

It’s still insane that we went from Elvis to Devourment in less than 50 years.

@018music018
The 2:14 moment with a bpm drop, a noticeable shift in vocal tone, and that the vocal rhythm switching up...
One of the most disgusting musical moments I've ever heard. Isn't that the goal? New emotions/feelings in music? Devourment nailed it with this one.
@mitchsorenstain4343
It sounds insane my dude! But the best part imo is the riff from 1:39-1:51!
Literally best riff I have ever heard!
Anyway, have a great day :)
