The Devil's Blood Release New Album In November

Great news I just read on the band's Facebook:

"The 11th of November Ván Records will unleash the second full length entitled "THE THOUSANDFOLD EPICENTRE". The cult is just in the studio to ban the tracks with the help of Pieter Kloos in the Void Studios. Expect a 70 minutes monster of psychedelic rock... more info soon."

Review: Beardfish - Mammoth (2011, InsideOut)

As promised, here is the review of the new Beardfish album, Mammoth. Thanks to Freeman Promotions for the advanced digital copy.


I’ll start by saying that if you’re a fan of Beardfish, stop reading now and just go get this album.

Unless you want to read something about how they are advancing in their musical path, how they have progressed and changed somewhat in their writing, but still sounding like a bearded fish. 

While the music is quite accessible, I needed several listens until the album reached me on a more emotional and personal level. This is a personal issue obviously and will vary from individual to another. However, once I “got” into it, I could enjoy the music so much more. But my point is that even prior to that emotional contact, I could very well acknowledge that this is a well done album, with clear and solid musical themes and fine execution.

Songs to start the night with...: The Devil's Blood

The Devil's Blood, a hard/psych rock band from the Netherlands have released their debut, The Time of No Time Evermore, in 2009. Their music seems to connect two planes; that of the sublime and otherworldly, through the vocals and that of raw power, through their heavy sound. 
Read a good review of the album here.

Enjoy three songs by the band below. Two songs from their album and one from their EP, Come, Reap.
