Bible of the Devil Finish Work on New Album Feel It
Chicago heavy rock/metal traditionalists Bible of the Devil issued a split with the sadly defunct Leeches of Lore (review here) in 2017, but it’s been since For the Love of Thugs and Fools (discussed here) in 2012 that the hard-shredding, singing-about-the-night outfit last unfurled a full-length. They’re due. Overdue, if you want to be technical about it, but they’re looking to play catchup a bit with Feel It, which seems by their description to be something of a testament to its own making. There isn’t an exact release date as yet but the album seems to be done, and they’re releasing it themselves through their own Bible of the Devil Recordings imprint, so that means holdups should be relatively few, though they’ve never been a band particularly known for their good luck. Fingers crossed it shows up in my inbox (or better yet, my actual mailbox) sometime soon. It’s been too long.
No audio from Feel It yet, but I certainly know I’m looking forward to hearing “(Love At) The Speed of Night,” “Iron Ego” and the rest of what’s apparently coming soon.
Info follows, including a tour teaser:
Bible of the Devil – Feel It
Greetings and Happy New Year!
Chicago Rock ‘n Roll Metal band Bible of the Devil have announced the completion of Feel It, their seventh full-length record and the first to be released via their own Bible of the Devil Recordings label. This long-awaited follow-up to their 2012 release, For the Love of Thugs and Fools, finds them working once again with the crafty Sanford Parker, who recorded the band at Chicago’s Electrical Audio and Jamdek studios. BOTD’s trademark guitar harmonies and vocal hooks are in full force and fans can expect another collection of classic anthems in the making.
At its core, Feel It is a testament to what it means to keep a band together. These past six years have presented many challenges to the band and this record serves as a conduit for the rock ‘n roll spirit. Expect an early 2019 release with a summer tour to follow in celebration of the band’s 20th anniversary.
