Behold the Devastation is the debut studio album by Canadian heavy metal band Unleash the Archers. It was recorded with Jason Hywell Martin at Omega Mediacore Studios in Richmond, British Columbia, and released independently in August 2009. This album was the only one to feature the band's original lineup before Grant Truesdell joined during the recording of their second album Demons of the AstroWaste.[3][4]
The cover artwork was made by Jean-Pascal Fournier (DragonForce, Edguy, Immortal). Unleash the Archers toured in support of the album with bands Ravage and 3 Inches of Blood.[5] The tracks "Destroyer" and "Black Goat of the Woods" were originally recorded for the band's self-titled demo released earlier that year.[6]
