Check-out the Devil Sold His Soul YouTube channel.

Crushingly heavy, darkly atmospheric, emotionally poignant, and never less than utterly enthralling, Devil Sold His Soul combine devastating force and haunting melody in a unique and involving blend that is as hypnotic as it is moving. In the eight years since their inception (Location: London, England / Year: 2004), the band have inspired a passionate and devoted following in the UK underground, touring relentlessly and exercising an extreme level of quality control over their musical output, every release maintaining their signature sound while marking a profound leap forward from that which preceded it.

“We never set out with the intent to be different,” states sampler Paul Kitney, who alongside guitarists Rick Chapple and Jonny Renshaw and original drummer Tom Harriman formed the initial musical core of the band, the four having previously collaborated in the lauded Mahumodo. “We have a wide range of influences, and we just wanted to make heavy music that brought together certain elements that we thought would be really cool but no one else seemed to be doing.”

It didn’t take long for the fledgling band to flesh out their line up with the addition of bassist Iain Trotter and versatile vocalist Ed Gibbs, whose banshee shriek and sky-searing cinematic tones combined with his charismatic stage presence make him one of the most mesmerizing front men in metal.

    Меняйте название, раз меняете вокалиста, это же смешно, как Эскейп зе фейт

    Очень неожиданная и грустная новость. Спасибо за всё Эд. Посмотрел лайвы с Паулом Грином, и как тут уже заметили he's different, but he's awesome! I love his vocals.

    Seen them live yesterday, and no offence to Ed, but Paul Green is fucking perfect live and nailed the songs! I'm really happy he's Ed's replacement, his voice is really strong live and fits so well with the sound of the band. Can't wait to see them again!
