DEVIL - New album "To The Gallows" announced for April - Details and first song revealed

Norwegian Doom-Rockers DEVIL are back with their third full-length album!

"To The Gallows" will be released on April 21st 2017 via Soulseller Records on CD, limited LP (black and red vinyl versions) and digitally. The successor to 2013's "Gather The Sinners" was produced in cooperation with Stein Roger Sund at Black Dimension Studios. The cover art was created by Kim Holm.

A video clip featuring studio footage and the title track is available at this location:
The band comments: "Bands always say that their newest effort is their greatest. We say fuck that. This is a heavy rock album, and it's up to the listener to decide how good it is. We're darned proud of it, though, and think it sums up the first era of Devil pretty good, with maybe our most heavy metal parts so far, but still building around The Riff, the main ingredient in any heavy metal song writing. We like to think we've come a long way these years, and are happy to end our first trilogy with this album. We're more of a band than ever, and joint efforts have made further improvements to the band. We'd say this is an album still for fans of Black Sabbath, Pentagram, Witchfinder General, etc, but also touching into the 1981 NWOBHM quite a bit, especially on the title track."

Wie wäre es, das Thema im Doom-Forum zu platzieren ? ;)

Aber btw: freu mich drauf, mag sämtliche Vorgängerscheiben sehr gern. Von daher, hier nochmal :jubel:
 
Bin noch nicht 100% mit der Scheibe warm geworden, aber sie gefällt mir schon einmal sehr viel besser als der etwas uninspirierte Vorgänger.
Aber sollte der Thread nicht eher im Iron Fist Bereich sein?

@Wolfsgrimm (oder anderer Mod) kannst du den Thread vielleicht mal dorthin verschieben? :)

Kannte bisher nur den Namen. Der Song ist mir fast schon zu eingängig, aber auf keinen Fall übel.
 
Die A - Seite ist teilweise etwas arg "schunkelstyle". Die B-Seite macht mich aber schon mit dem Opener glücklicher.
Zu DEVIL selbst: schon immer einer meiner Doomfaves. Passt einfach gut. Einzig die "Noble Savage"- Single gab ich nicht gekauft,was primär am Format liegt. Ich hör die Dinger kaum...
 
Fand das Debüt extrem klasse, die "Gather" hingegen nur so OK.
Freue mich daher besonders, daß mich das, was ich bis jetzt von der "Gallows" hörte sehr erfreut. Kommt auf den Einkaufszettel!

Edit: Alleine schon wegen "Peasants & Pitchforks" MUSS ich das Ding haben! Alter! :jubel::feierei:
 
Zuletzt bearbeitet:
Insgesamt bin ich schonmal zufrieden. B-Seite ist der Hammer, den Rest muß ich noch "einhören". Nichts desto trotz bleibt DEVIL eine meiner TopDoom-Bands mit Eiern ! Die 7" krall ich mir bei Gelegenheit sicher eh noch mal... kenn mich ja.
