Sweden-based Methane released its debut album The Devil's Own through Dark Star Records in the winter of 2017. The group was founded in 2012 and issued a demo called Southern Metal in 2014. The Spit On Your Grave demo arrived in 2015. The band, which was founded by two American brothers who live in Sweden, announced Olle Ekman (Deals Death singer and touring with Amaranthe) as its new drummer after Andreas Strom gave notice in late 2016. Tim Scott (bass and vocals for Methane) and Ekman both played in death metal band Volturyon, only not at the same time. Ekman sang on the first two albums from 2008-2011 and Scott played bass a short time in 2014 on the Human Demolition EP. Thrashy metal band Methane kicked off the Signed In Blood European tour in January 2018.
