It's like Hawkwind's Space Ritual and Coven's Witchcraft Destroys Minds & Reaps Souls put into a blender. Pretty fucking good first impression. also, the Pat Benatar comment made my night.
That headbanging looks a rather amusing considering they are "just a rock band" and not metal band. :) Don't get me wrong, I love the fuck out of them.
Some of the best damn guitar playing ever! They should have been as huge as led Zeppelin! The sad thing is that farida has not made music since her brothers suicide! We were fortunate to witness something special when they were together😥
@shadowskey666 Um, I have no idea what comment you read, but it certainly wasn't mine. Where in my comment did I mention anything about expecting "raw death metal"? I said the comparison of The Devils Blood to Mercyful Fate was a stupid one. No, no bands sound the same, but bands have similarities. That's how you get the whole idea of the genres you mentioned. And, since you have no idea who/which Coven I'm speaking of, then I suggest you do some research. Maybe try to understand comments, too.
@DaleMcMutt youre too strung up about which band sounds like which. no bands sound the same, except country and all emo bands, but if you listen to devils blood and expect raw death metal with fast riffs and the voice of king diamond, then youre sadly mistaken.
haha i did remember the first Fortarock festival in Nijmegen. everybody fled for this ...music! ow and the guitarist punched someone in the public because of a little insult :P
@eefeft what if they arent trying to evolve mercyful fate? what if they have nothing to do with mercyful fate? where did you even get mercyful fate from? they are THE DEVILS BLOOD, and i sure as hell never seen a band like this. yet you believe they come in the same vein as king diamond's mercyful fate. maybe you should forget about mercyful fate, and realize that there are many more people capable of making music.
why isnt there a modern band that can evolve mercyful fate's music instead of making it sound like a mix of 80s hair metal band B sides that people should forget about...
Not at all. It's a huge part of the charm and feel of the band. Anyone with problems with it should spend more time listening to some Mercyful Fate, I think.
I'd actually wager Selim was creatively bankrupt. What I heard of the new album sounded a bit lackluster in comparison. If that's the case, best quit while you're ahead instead of dragging your band to the ground.

Possibly one of the best rock songs of the last 20 years...
No doubt about it my brother... It is
*of all time
star sv oh I can definitely agree with that statement also!
Agreed
Selim man... What an incredibly special person. A once in a lifetime musician. Truly a shame he's gone.
Farida's willpower not to headbang on this sweet riff is out of this world. I mean the song begs for headbanging.
She doesnt need it, she is pure dark magic per se. Hails Farida and Selim (RIC)
the willpower is indeed strong in this one
She was busy being possessed by the devil
R.i.p selim. You where a great musician. Eindhoven and the world is missing a legend. Hail satan
Dat is waar
One of the best and catchiest metal songs of the decade!
Lead singer looks like how I'd imagine a female version of Dio or the singer from Manowar :)
+BenRangel
with your comment i hungry to watch this video.
Hard Rock*.
This song is GLORIOUS.
Am I the only one who thinks her voice and range is mind-blowingly awesome?
Glad to see that this moment in human history happened
Saw these guys last night along with In Solitude, Horrendous, Watain, and Behemoth, badass performance by every band.
I envy you .
You lucky son of Satan. 🤘🤘
Mais verdadeiro que muitas bandas de Black Metal.
I loooooove this band! I've been jamming their album since the day it came out... freakin' amazing from beginning to end.
Oh I miss them. What an incredible wall of sound with three guitars in these small clubs. White Thrash Berlin ✌️
One of my favourite songs!
Saw them live 7 days ago. Amazing!
The lies we tell to secure our fate
Are never far behind us
The things we say and the things we do
Will in the end blind us!!!
No better way to express love for the draconian divine than with a female vocalist.
Fantastic pure and magical band!
My guess is that they are going to be really famous some day.
The drummer is bad ass. Hes really gettin after it.
It's like Hawkwind's Space Ritual and Coven's Witchcraft Destroys Minds & Reaps Souls put into a blender. Pretty fucking good first impression. also, the Pat Benatar comment made my night.
this is an excellent band..there cds sound awesome and fullllll!!!
Farida, linda maravilhosa e canta muito ...
R.I.P Selim
Drummer is wearing a t-shirt of the mighty Nox. Fucking respect man
Touring the US with Behemoth and Watain in April. That's gonna be a wild-ass show.
Amazing stage presence ! love them so much :D
Incredible que banda incrivel very good
Hey, I never saw it that way. They're just fantasy worlds. I've been wrong this entire time. Thanks for opening my eyes, bro. You're just the coolest.
They were so awesome and I didn't see them live. Too bad :'(((
One of the best new rock bands!
R.I.C. Selim. We fucking miss you.
LOVE this band!!!:)
Looking forward to the gig in Stockholm nov 4th.
Hell yeah, it was epic.
Excellent!
These guys need to put out a live album!
Magical!
So fucking sick
damn...damn... DAMN!! that's great!!!
@sglasspool they'll be up in canada too! AND I WILL SEE THEM!
awesome!
The Best. ⚡☠️⚡
Just B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L!
Is there more of Metal Forces Fesitvals 2009.... missed it.... horrible....? Great Devils Bloos Song..... Love it
That headbanging looks a rather amusing considering they are "just a rock band" and not metal band. :) Don't get me wrong, I love the fuck out of them.
Sick outro!
ΑΧΧΧΧΧΧ ΑΥΤΗ Η ΦΩΝΑΡΑ ΣΟΥ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
bad assery!
🤘🤘
What has he done lately? Kept rock n roll alive.
Best
Some of the best damn guitar playing ever! They should have been as huge as led Zeppelin! The sad thing is that farida has not made music since her brothers suicide! We were fortunate to witness something special when they were together😥
Check out Molasses it’s a new project in the spirit of SL on Van Records and it’s got F on vocals and some of Selim’s old band mates
farewell!
@DaleMcMutt
They really remind me a lot of a mix between Coven and Pagan Altar, but that's just me.
Waiting them in Athens!!!
que falta SELIM e o DEVILS BLOOD faz ao cenario metal mundial!
Fucking hell, I'd give anything to see them live. They just look like they belong on stage.
@shadowskey666 Um, I have no idea what comment you read, but it certainly wasn't mine. Where in my comment did I mention anything about expecting "raw death metal"?

Not big on Christian bands but these guys are good.
They are (or were, the band is defunct now) Satanists. Hence the band name.
🌶️
prob the best tune that MERCYFUL FATE never did
@WINTERREICH666 backup singers and a horn section.
@DaleMcMutt youre too strung up about which band sounds like which. no bands sound the same, except country and all emo bands, but if you listen to devils blood and expect raw death metal with fast riffs and the voice of king diamond, then youre sadly mistaken.
\m/agnific
@WINTERREICH666 No, I don´t think that would enhance it. One more bassplayer perhaps, he must feel lonely in this setup...
haha i did remember the first Fortarock festival in Nijmegen.
everybody fled for this ...music!
ow and the guitarist punched someone in the public because of a little insult :P
D= The first time I've seen what this band looks like.. I've always thought the singer was male.. Shock.
@WINTERREICH666 Yeah, because nobody uses three guitarists except, you know, maybe Maiden.
Paaspop 2012 yes
@WINTERREICH666 they have a New one now hahah
@eefeft what if they arent trying to evolve mercyful fate? what if they have nothing to do with mercyful fate? where did you even get mercyful fate from? they are THE DEVILS BLOOD, and i sure as hell never seen a band like this. yet you believe they come in the same vein as king diamond's mercyful fate. maybe you should forget about mercyful fate, and realize that there are many more people capable of making music.

has a danzig feel
Not at all. It's a huge part of the charm and feel of the band. Anyone with problems with it should spend more time listening to some Mercyful Fate, I think.
King diamond owns your soul.
It´s pig blood. Not kidding.
They obviously consider themselves as finished, so what's the big deal?
Evil!
Fuck headbanging, She was like bloody statue.
Kiss meets Blue Oyster Cult!
Weeeeeeeeeeell you obviously had nothing better to say than the most overused line on the internet, contratulations.
I love rock and roll. -- Satan
@MetalJassim - I completely disagree. Now take Ghost - THAT'S a horribly overrated band & couldn't hold a candle to The Devils Blood.
this sounds like Pat Benatar
You kidding? they sucked tonight
I'd actually wager Selim was creatively bankrupt. What I heard of the new album sounded a bit lackluster in comparison. If that's the case, best quit while you're ahead instead of dragging your band to the ground.
why the fuck is behemoth playing music with this band?
PRAISE GOD REPENTENCE IS BLISS PLEASE READ THE HOLY BIBLE AND PRAY FOR THE WAGES OF SIN IS DEATH IN JESUS CHRIST HOLY BLOOD NAME I PRAY BLESSINGS PEACE HALLELUJAH GLORY BE TO GOD BLESSINGS PEACE AND THE LORD AND I REBUKE YOU satan IN JESUS CHRIST HOLY BLOOD I PRAY BLESSINGS PEACE HALLELUJAH GLORY BE TO GOD BLESSINGS PEACE.AMEN.
Nice band, but totally overrated.
90% of which is utter crap. I'm not too keen on a deity that endorses terrible music.
Horribly overrated. Sorry, just my cup of coffee...
no not horribly overrated just okay decent
"Ok" is the little brother of shit...
🤘🏻
