On Saturday, April 20th, The Devil’s Blood will perform their occult ceremonies acoustically for the first time ever at Het Patronaat, while their fully-fledged, subversive, Pagan jams will reach new heights (or should we say dark depths!?) at the traditional Afterburner event on Sunday April 21st at the 013 venue in Tilburg, Holland.
Over the past five years, The Devil’s Blood have not only gained a huge cult following, the band have also been at the forefront of the burgeoning Occult Rock scene by setting a new standard for unearthing the roots of proto-metal as laid down by their unholy forefathers, Black Widow and Coven. The Devil’s Blood‘s creative range includes a visionary blend of dusty psych-garage-rock, ’60s psychedelica, acid-folk-rock and even horror soul, underpinned by beguiling triple guitar harmonies and dripping with obsessively detailed Satanic ritual.
The head-spinning diversity of The Devil’s Blood cult (and occult) has been captured on the Come Reap EP, The Time of No Time Evermore and 2011?s stunning The Thousandfold Epicentre, all of which offer up a golden balance between the band’s forceful danger, but also a sublime, demonic melancholy that guides its audience toward the left hand path.
