In 1977 Eric Lévi founded the hard rock band Shakin' Street which would release the two albums Vampire Rock and Solid As A Rock. Shakin' Street briefly toured with AC/DC and the Blue Öyster Cult before disbanding in 1981. Later on in his career, Eric Lévi wrote the musical score to several movies, including L'Opération Corned-beef and the comedy Les Visiteurs which was an international success and one of the highest grossing movies of all time in France.
Era's self-titled debut album in 1997 proved to be a hit, becoming the most exported French album with over 6 million copies sold. A sequel, Era 2 was released in 1999, followed by Era: The Mass in 2003. The trilogy is characterized by a mixture of rock, synth, and pseudo-Latin Gregorian chant.

The lyrics of Eric Levi's Devore Amante are filled with obscure and enigmatic lines that seem to describe a surreal world, where various elements of reality and fantasy are blended together. The first few lines are particularly difficult to understand, as they consist of a series of seemingly unrelated words: "Ome divano divanore ero Ome marevo imperavi coni Omerio samie Imperio demoni Terra me amego." These lines can be interpreted as a sort of incantation, invoking supernatural forces and entities. They could represent the singer's desire to gain control over his own destiny, by enlisting the help of otherworldly powers.
The refrain of the song is "Vorai devore devore amante, amante di amo di amo de memo de solio," which roughly translates to "I want to devour, devour lover, lover of love, of love of memory of the throne." This line suggests a theme of desire, passion, and conquest. The singer wants to possess and consume his lover, to be consumed by his own passion and love.
Throughout the rest of the lyrics, the singer seems to be grappling with feelings of loneliness, abandonment, and emptiness, as well as his own mortality. The lines "Sen sore eni orgare Sen so dera mesi agore Sen somiiva" may represent the singer's sense of disconnection from the world around him, and his longing for a deeper sense of meaning and purpose.
Overall, Devore Amante is a poetic and lyrically complex song that invites multiple interpretations. It expresses a sense of yearning, desire, and longing, as well as a fascination with the unknown and the supernatural.
