Gatefold double LP vinyl edition comes with a 24 page booklet with illustrations and lyrics. The Devil's Blood is a mysterious psychedelic hard rock outfit from The Netherlands with an overt interest in the occult. Lyrics are of the mystical variety dealing with things like a longing for the afterlife. Musically speaking the band has changed a bit since their previous albums. While they always had a sound rooted in 70s hard rock this opulent album has a very strong element of psychedelia. The vocals of M remind quite a bit of Grace Slick. She's got a hell of a set of lungs on her! Keyboards play more of a part with Hammond and analog synths used frequently. Dare I even say some Mellotron?? The album is just seeped in melodrama and the production even has a mystical quality to it. Think in terms of Jefferson Airplane meets Julian's Treatment meets Black Widow. Be forewarned - some of you may be offended by the nature of the themes and the band's beliefs in general. Let your conscience be your guide. If you can get past all of that you will be rewarded with a brilliant album that scratches the old school itch perfectly. Highly recommended...to the open minded.
