Devil Came to Me is the second studio album by Spanish rock band Dover. It was released on 21 April 1997 under Subterfuge Records.[1]

Devil Came to Me was recorded and mixed in 20 days in February 1997, at Infinity Estudios in Madrid, with Daniel Alcover, and it cost 80 000 pesetas (at current exchange rates, €480). Dover was disclosed with this record and made the leap to fame. The cover was designed by the drummer of the band, Jesús Antúnez, graphic designer.[2]

On 25 September 1997 they won their first gold record for the 50,000 copies sold of the album[3] 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.[4]

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.
