"As of the 22nd of January 2013 THE DEVIL'S BLOOD has returned into nothingness. All planned rituals will be cancelled. No interviews will be done. Consummatum est.

Finally the days are over when a mediocre retro Rock band filled concert slots otherwise occupied by Metal acts just because they sing about the devil.

That is a bummer. I really liked this band. Least I got to see them on the decibel tour granted a short set. I recall hearing that "SL" didnt think they'd be able to do another album after their first LP. Something about satan/chaos/nothingness taking him away. Well hopefully this doesn't follow the path of Jon Nodtveidt and just a result of a sibling spat. Even if it does, got 2 good LPs and a excellent EP.

wow, mister know-it -all doesn't know who one of the best metal bands out there is, surprise surprise! Along with Blood Ceremony, Ghost, Dawnbringer, the Sword, and Saviors, one of the better new retro bands out there to date.

I like these comments where people notice us that they don't know much about metal music

Well this was a bummer of a wakeup...To see this pop up on my Facebook feed this morning... The Devil's Blood were great songwriters and had a unique approach to their band and music. Saw the band twice on the Decibel Tour and their longer set at Maryland Deathfest last year. Went just for them. I've been following them since the beginning and am very disappointed to read this rather cryptic post...2013 was looking to be a huge year for them. Was hoping they would get a prime tour this year in the USA but it's not to be I suppose...Thousandfold Epicentre is a masterpiece. Get it now. Looking forward to what SL and Farida do next...together or otherwise...

...if this is true. Awesome band. Hopefully this doesn't mean the band has dissolved.

Not really understanding the whole "I don't know about them so they suck" mentality here. Can you elaborate?

I can't think of one thing these guys have done that sucks. Thousandfoldepicentre is a materpiece as stated above, and it's one of the few cds that I bought this year, and fuck I'm glad I did. The vocals are original, the lyrics are deep and well written without being cheesy, and yeah, they were into the devil, no doubt about it, so when is that a bad thing?

All the live performances I've seen on the net have been excellent. I guess one thing that makes me feel good about this whole thing, TDB obviously do not give one shit about your opinion, just me.

It was great to see them perform acoustic at my local record store by surprise. They were great live, but I never realized how big they were.

If this is the end of TDB, Selim will have ended his life within the next months, definitely.

Shame on such an amazing band to literarly drop dead now.
