The Devil's Blood - The Madness Of Serpents (2011)

[13CIRCLE]

They should tour w/ GHOST.

Ok, I heard a lot of music in my life, I listen to many genres, from Pink Floyd to Marduk, but after buying my copy of The Thousandfold Epicentre with an enlargened artbook and after listening to it constantly for the last few months, I'm pretty certain that this album is the best thing that ever happened in music. Thank you SL & co. for this amazing experience that still lasts.

@serpentstranger Well said..it's EPIC. The 60s-70s sound/ image is back! Great musicianship/ super vocals and imagery!

[MissJeanette69]

I love this band. What beautiful, hypnotizing music

[gethsenamane]

Oh.please stop. 

[stevechapman07]

The best Heavy Metal album of the last 10 years.

[willabema]

@stevechapman07 Heavy Metal? Sure about that?

[MrBigred1970]

When a band starts to get a bunch of hype, I am always skeptical. But this band delivers and then some. This is haunting, mesmerizing, beautiful, and heavy. I must have this record.

[RaguelAngelofBalance]

@MrBigred1970 It is a great album!

[RaguelAngelofBalance]

I can do without the satanic silliness, but music wise its great.

[SROCeallaigh]

@RaguelAngelofBalance it's not that silly, at least they're fairly serious (and nicely retro) about it without buying into all the LaVey bullshit (do any serious satanists buy into the LaVey bullshit? Well, American ones I guess...)

[RaguelAngelofBalance]

@SROCeallaigh Its silly for a mature band.

[RaguelAngelofBalance]

@AnimalRepellent I agree. Sometimes, regardless of the band, I'd rather listen to the music than watch their videos or see them live. But thats just me. Speaking of concepts and themes.....The Residents take it full bore. lol Not like Gwar, but more cerebral.

[AnimalRepellent]

@RaguelAngelofBalance I like the Residents. Tickles with insanity! :)

[trumblewumblehumble]

@RaguelAngelofBalance I am no satanist or believer in any way myself, but i think the theme adds to the music, because even if i don't follow that philosophy, i can feel how serious the band is about it, and that authencity adds to the overall quality of the music.

[RaguelAngelofBalance]

@trumblewumblehumble I understand theatrics are important. But its something I'd expect the face painters to do.

[willabema]

@trumblewumblehumble Well said.

Imagine her instead of Mortuus performing the "throne of rats"!

[1Missanthropy]

Another masterpiece of praise to the darkness..........

[TheThrillseeker01]

buy the vynil its a work of art.

[SROCeallaigh]

@TheThrillseeker01 got the gatefold CD digipack, I own some vinyls myself, having it on CD is just more convenient but I wish more would be released in the vinyl single-size digipacks, really does the artwork justice (though not as well as the full size vinyl of course, but certainly much better than crappy jewel case ones)

[crookedhoof]

on track for being my album of the year - Phenomenal recording!!!!

[Trveheimer]

@crookedhoof i fanatically praised "the time of no time evermore", but compared with this new masterpiece, is is nothing. fucking awesome to have the artbook version!

[crookedhoof]

@Trveheimer : Agreed, I Love it, I got the vinyl version but did not have the cash for the deluxe edition - still a great piece of work though.

[Trveheimer]

@crookedhoof hm, the artbook was just 1,50€ more than the normal version, but I gonna buy the vinyl too

[crookedhoof]

@Trveheimer I ordered from Van because I couldn't wait for the North American release, but the extra postage for the deluxe edition was expensive so I bought a 7" and the album instead ;) The lyric / artbook that comes with it is fucking beautuful,

[bluejayg56]
