Bible of the Devil Record New Album for 2018 Release
It’s been half a decade since Chicago’s Bible of the Devil released their last record, For the Love of Thugs and Fools (discussed here), and I don’t care by what scale you’re measuring — law of averages, Murphy’s law, law of dudes having real jobs and real lives, etc. — that’s way too long. Over the summer, the dual-guitar wizards issued a split with defunct desert weirdos Leeches of Lore (review here) that one hoped was a portend of further activity to come, and it turns out that was pretty much exactly the case.
Bible of the Devil hit the studio earlier this month with Sanford Parker at the helm to track the long-awaited follow-up to For the Love of Thugs and Fools, and while details on the outing are minimal at this point with no title, artwork, tracklisting, or release date yet unveiled, I’m already looking forward to hearing what they’ve come up with after so long an absence from album-creation, and you should be too. At least, you know, if you like awesome classic metal and heavy rock, songs about the night, and stuff that kicks ass in general. Which I think you do or you probably wouldn’t still be reading this. So yeah, get stoked.
I’m not sure if Bible of the Devil are still signed to Cruz del Sur, which put out For the Love of Thugs and Fools, but either way, hopefully more info will surface soon on the impending long-player. Will say something when I see something, as the propaganda posters tell me to do.
