  • Comment: Probably passes general notability and even WP:MUSIC if you provide chart info and more reliable references. FoCuSandLeArN (talk) 22:25, 14 May 2015 (UTC)
  • Comment: This is likely a notable album since it is presumably a gold record. However, you will need to add some references so that those claims can be verified. Try to find reliable, independent (third-party) sources that discuss the subject in significant detail. Thanks, wia (talk) 23:54, 5 May 2015 (UTC)

Devil Came to Me is the second studio album by Spanish rock band Dover, released on 21 April 1997 after his first album, Sister, on 1995. It was recorded and mixed in 20 days in Madrid in early 1997, in Infinity, with D. Alcover, and it cost 800 000 pesetas (at current exchange rates, 4800 euros). Dover was disclosed with this record and made the leap to fame. The cover was designed by the drummer of the band, Jesus Antúnez, graphic designer. This LP was released by the record company Subterfuge Records.[1]

In 25 September 1997 they won their first gold record for the 50,000 copies sold of the album[2] and subsequently were certified four times platinum to achieve a volume of more than 500,000 albums sold. Following the success of the album, Dover won the Ondas award for best Spanish group revelation on 13 November in Barcelona.[3]

The album's title track was used both in a collection of songs from revealing bands of the moment, under the name of Pepsi The Next Generation (1998), and the announcement of a US brand drinks, Radical Fruit Company, which involved a big push to publicize the group. Along with the songs also contained on the album, «Loli Jackson» and «Serenade», album's first single, can be considered the most representative of the group so far.
