So far its been a lean, “download and delete” kind of year so far, with very little new material surviving the recycle bin.
But one band has or did survive, and despite their 3 album output before their demise and ultimately the death of their lead guitarist ensured they would never output again, I present to you The Devils Blood. Mixing psychedelic guitars, Jimi Hendrix and a modern retro take on Black Sabbath, this female vocal led band surprised you with every song. I'll be the first to admit I dont always enjoy female metal/rock singers, but thats because of the handful out there, very few fit the bill perfectly. What you have with this band are two genuine full length albums, a handful of EPs and a posthumous release of a half finished third album before they split up. Very much like Kingston Wall before them (also released three albums before the untimely death of the lead guitarist and singer) they made a retro sounding music sound modern.
