The Devil’s Blood

THE DEVIL’S BLOOD ARE at this point perhaps the most unique and doubtlessly the best band to perform Occult Psychedelic Rock. Sharing similarities with no other contemporary band and simply dazzling the listener with a combination of extremely melodic and darkly subversive music in the vein of Roky Erickson, Coven, Black Widow and Jefferson Airplane, the Cult have thus far blasted away any and all competition. With a definite desire to stay for all intents and purposes an underground group the cult choose not to align themselves with the bigger labels, who are at this point signing all bands that create occult rock they can find, but to rather to work closely with their two smaller labels in order to achieve a maximum effect without the loss of the integrity that they so cherish. This has so far resulted in a 7? (The Graveyard Shuffle,Van Records) and a CD/LP (Come, Reap, Van Records& Profound Lore Records). Both of these releases have been greeted with unprecedented enthusiasm by fan and critic alike.

As the spiritual side of The Devil’s Blood has always been, at least, equally important as the musical side, the cultists have distinguished themselves through their live rituals which are very austere and ceremonial.
The Devil’s Blood, never interested in cheap thrills and short term effect, create an atmosphere akin that of a church mass, with a constant musical presence and mantraic vocal delivery. Suggestive scenery helps the viewer to achieve a meditative state that set him or her loose from the surroundings and facilitates a fully mental and sub-mental experience. Blood, worn as a sign of fealty to the Luciferian spirit, becomes the herald of a magnificently ritualistic musical presentation. The Devil’s Blood urge the onlookers to let all their inhibition flow and to join them in this ritual, they accept and indeed encourage all forms of debauchery, violence, love, hate, sex, drugs use, and all other forms of hedonistic fire and see this energy as a direct offering to the Eleven names of Chaos.
