Satanic psych rockers, The Devil’s Blood, abruptly called it splits on January 22, 2013, as discussed. There were four projects in the works at the time of their severance, including demos intended for a full-length and an acoustic EP with two cover songs, with a loose release date of April 30, 2013. In addition, they’re holding onto an unedited live DVD and several unmixed, unedited live recordings, B-sides, and comps with tentative release plans. The band cryptically stated:
It is our desire to make all of this material available as it is right now. These recordings will be mixed and mastered by Pieter G. Kloos at the Void Studios in Eindhoven, The Netherlands. Nothing will be altered, re-recorded or added to the music.Upon the release of the album and EP, SL will be giving a limited amount of interviews. This will be the last time SL will be available for comment on the subject of The Devil’s Blood. After this point he will only focus on his future spiritual and artistic path…

The Devil’s Blood – 2007 / 2013
This occult outfit harnesses two full length albums, The Time of No Time Evermore (2009) and The Thousandfold Epicentre (2011), both well-received, so we’re sad to see them go.
TDB died the death, indeed. RIP, dark comrades!

Saw them live twice and they blew my mind each time. What a fantastic band. Bummer- they will be missed.
This is my favorite part of the press release:
“Upon the release of the album and EP, SL will be giving a limited amount of interviews in which he will be answering questions regarding the end of the band, the current state and future of the legacy of The Devil’s Blood etcetera. This will be the last time SL will be available for comment on the subject of The Devil’s Blood. After this point he will only focus on his future spiritual and artistic path. Interested parties should get in touch through our record label, Ván Records. Only serious candidates need apply.”
So much for “No interviews will be done. Consummatum est.” Also, big laughs at the “serious candidates” bit. I don’t have much of an opinion about TDB’s music, but it doesn’t get any more pompous than that.
This is a publicity stunt, plain and simple, and it’s already starting to go wrong for them.
Dude’s so heavy, he’s gonna implode and create a black hole.
