It Takes a Special Kind of Asshole to Steal from Bible of the Devil

Come on! They took the time to have their picture taken at the Coliseum! How could you possibly steal their shit?I mean, they rock so hard, and it’s not like they’re doing the Best Buy-sponsored headlining arena tour or anything like that. These guys are road dogs slugging it out show after show. Even if they hadn’t been the first interview posted on this site, I’d still feel terrible for them because they’re out so much money and so much quality gear.

According to the band, they were just off Seventh St. in Austin, TX, when it happened and it was May 24. Their full statement and catalog of what was taken is after the jump. In the meantime, The Obelisk sends heartfelt regrets their way and hopes that they can get at least some of their stuff back. Stealing from bands is bullshit.

BIBLE OF THE DEVIL‘s gear was stolen in Austin, TX late Sunday night (5/24/09). Please spread the word and check music shops/pawn shops. If you have any info, please contact us on myspace.com/bibleofthedevil or bibleofthedevil@gmail.com.

Location was just across the highway up the hill and less than a block off Seventh street right by the French Legation Museum wall. All the guitars, snare, cymbals, luggage, a bunch of merch, were stolen out of a car. They broke the window and cleaned us out. We will have a more complete list and all the serial numbers out hopefully soon but for now tell people to keep an eye out for:

Mark‘s 2004 Gibson Flying V electric guitar. Alpine white color with custom Gibson “Dirty Fingers” humbucker pickup in the bridge. Guitar has a faded yellowish hue and signs of wear on the top side. Has a black strap with a white lightning bolt on it and the strap is held in place by two rubber o-rings from Grolsch beer bottles.
Boss TU-2 Chromatic Stompbox Tuner
Boss NS-2 Noise Suppressor Pedal
Boss GE-7 Equalizer Pedal
Ibanez TS-9 Tube Screamer Effects Pedal(analogman modified)
SKB V-Type Hardshell Guitar Case. Large white stickers read “B1” near the headstock portion. Two attached luggage tags with the following address: Mark S. Hoffmann, #### N. Spaulding, Chicago, IL ######

Nate‘s Faded Red Flying V with 2 EMG active pickups, crescent moon inlays on ebony fretboard, dark stain on the front where your arm would be caused by ink and years of playing.
SKB V-Type Hardshell Guitar Case
– Pedals: Metal Muff, Boss TU-2 tuner, Boss NS-2 Noise Suppressor Pedal, Boss Chorus Pedal, Boss Super Distortion.

I think they are both guitars are ’67 reissues and are in SKB ATA cases with B1 and B2 in reflective stickers on the cases.

Darren‘s early ’90s G&L SB-2 Bass Serial number B022197. Black with black pick-guard and maple neck. P and Jazz style pickups. Two volume knobs and no pickup selector. Sculpted headstock, no bump, Leo Fender signature on head stock with small notch in the middle. Also a small belt rash chip out of the back paint. Tweed colored Fender strap with three pins on it. Strap held on with red Grolsch beer flip top O-rings.
Boss TU-2 Tuner Pedal with a rounded elastic band on it.
Gator Brand ATA molded BPE plastic flight case with B3 in reflective stickers. One says “NO ICE IN MY DRINK.” Also has “Fragile” “VALKYRIE,” “BIBLE OF THE DEVIL,” “Vocalo.org” stickers. Case has name and address on label by the handle. One of the latches is loose and tricky to tighten.

Greg‘s Trick Percussion Snare Dark Blue with black hardware. Made from aluminum. In a black snare case that closes with a strap.
– Molded Plastic Cymbal case containing a Ride, 2 large crashes, hi-hats

This is why it’s wrong to steal from Bible of the Devil:

    Too bad torture is no long aloud in this PC country.

    Damn, here they are our label-mates and they get ripped off in our own hometown! The night before this gig, 8 people were shot outside a rap club just around the corner from Red 7. The ent. district is rapidly becoming crime central in this sleepy little burg.
