The Thousandfold Epicentre, the long awaited new
full-length from Dutch occult rockers THE DEVIL'S BLOOD, is out NOW
in North America! Featuring 11 tracks produced with the help of Pieter Kloos at
Void Studios (Eindhoven, The Netherlands), The Thousandfold Epicentre has
reaped critical acclaim among critics nationwide. Crowned this week's Album Of
The Week, MSN Headbang noted: "...this daring, mysterious album sees this
promising band starting to sound closer to being fully realized than ever
before." Verbicide championed the band saying: "...if rock ‘n roll is
truly the devil’s music, then THE DEVIL'S BLOOD could be
headliners in Hell," while Decibel Magazine proclaimed it "...an
11-track opus of maximum cosmic significance..."
In related news, "The Madness of Serpents" art
clip, the latest installment to the record's video teaser series, is up now at
the band's official landing page. Check it out at THIS
LOCATION.
THE DEVIL'S BLOOD is a dedication to principles
and principals more ancient than Time, a branch of a tree greater than the
World, an exclamation of both the profound and the profane. THE DEVIL'S
BLOODhas always been one of the many vessels through which the Light of the
Devil shines upon the darkness of the world and shall always be the possible
entrance to a path walked alone. But only for those who have eyes to see and
ears to hear. This path starts not in understanding but in confusion.
Words From The Converted:
"... never in my wildest dreams was I expecting an
album of such clarity, verve and force, outstripping everything the band has
achieved so far in their career and setting an unreasonably high benchmark for
this resurgent genre." -- Lurker's Path
"There’s an odd mini-movement of bands like this – Blood Ceremony, Sabbath Assembly and the afore-mentioned Ghost all truck in various degrees of darkly alternative spirituality and early '70s hard rock. (Who knew Black Widow‘s 1970 occult rock LP Sacrifice would become such a sacred text?) THE DEVIL'S BLOOD is at the forefront of this strange crowd, however, and the excellent The Thousandfold Epicentre makes no bones about why." -- The Big Take Over
“...THE DEVIL’S BLOOD bring to mind what
Jefferson Airplane’s sound would have been if they abandoned their love of
psychedelic drugs for good old-fashioned Satanism." -- L.A. Weekly
"On their sophomore album, Dutch act THE
DEVIL'S BLOOD deliver NWOBHM-kissed riffs and melodic female vocals
like it's 1980 all over again" – Noisecreep
"...dynamic and luminous..." – Terrorizer
"THE DEVIL'S BLOOD are entity onto
themselves, and could very well be considered metal’s most valid Satanic
band." -- Blistering
"...one of the most captivating releases of the year
2012. A superlative effort," -- Metal Assault
"The Thousandfold Epicentre is capable of alluring
visions, a veritable siren's song of majesty and grace." -- Blood Good
Horror
