Artist Detailed Info: Devil Inside

1. Devil Inside (now known as Jaylan) was a German metalcore band from Berlin, known for blending heavy guitar riffs with hip-hop and rap elements, a style they termed "ghetto metal." They were three musicians of Turkish background and two of German background.

The band was signed to Alveran Records. They debuted with the album 36 Karat on November 22, 2001. Devil Inside's sound incorporated influences from their members' cultural backgrounds, merging traditional Turkish music with aggressive metalcore and hardcore styles.

Devil Inside hailed from Kreuzberg, a district of Berlin known for its cultural diversity, often referred to as "Little Istanbul" due to its large Turkish population. The band's music was distinguished by its aggressive vocals, courtesy of Devrim, who had previously fronted the hardcore band Disrespect. Lyrically, Devil Inside was unapologetically confrontational, addressing themes of pride, defiance, and cultural identity.

In later re-releases of their work, Devil Inside included two notable collaborations: one with Jamie Jasta of Hatebreed, and another with Turkish-German rapper Killa Hakan. These tracks showcased a stronger hip-hop influence, with Jasta's aggressive vocal delivery fitting seamlessly with the group's blend of metal and rap.

The band later changed their name to Jaylan.
