THE DEVIL AND THE ALLMIGHTY BLUES
With a profound love for the old heroes of the Blues walking hand in hand with rock, metal, country and last but not least punk, The Devil and the Almighty Blues is armed with vintage Gibson guitars and tube amplifiers.
Their music on blues-based rock is heavy without becoming metal, slow without being doom, bluesy without being straight up and boring. It’s slow, heavy, melodic and raw. Far from being a possible hit on the radio, but on the other hand – who really cares??
When the 60’s turned into the 70’s there was a musical crossroads. The American blues had had it’s run with teens on both sides of the Atlantic long enough so that the blues-offspring named rock’n’roll had to expand or die. It did not die, it expanded in all kinds of directions! And right there in the crossroads between blues-based rock and all the world’s other sub-genres of rock, something happened to the blues. The format got experimented with, expanded and almost made unrecognizable. But at the same time the roots to the original ’real’ blues was never lost. Where Peter Green left Fleetwood Mac in 1970 with the track «Green Manalishi», where Johnny Winter stretched his musical legs, where ZZ Top bought Marshall full stacks and shot from the hip, and last but not least where the legend himself, Muddy Waters, stretched the limits of that was ’legal’ with the album «Electric Mud». And not to forget Hendrix, Free, Canned Heat and the rest of the gang from the Woodstock-era. The result was a highly electric musical revolution, where e.g. the newly born genre hard rock walked hand in hand with traditional delta blues.
It is out from this musical mud The Devil and the Almighty Blues have found their inspiration. Their music is slow, heavy, melodic and raw, all without losing the almighty blues out of sight.

DEVILLE
Celebrated 15 years as a band and about to continue to tour the world in 2020 it all took another turn as we know. To not totally put everything on hold the only thing the band could do was to start write music and for the first time the band was doing writing on demand. It became a weird, long ride and changed somehow the usual writing process with members writing in different constellations and on their own.The first songs were written without any destined direction or theme so the last ones were more written from a perspective of what the album needed. Having the songs ready in early 2021 ”Heavy Lies The Crown” went through the filter many times more than a Deville record have done before and made the it more diverse than the band maybe expected. There are still the grooves, hooks and heavy riffs that the band is known for but a lot metal and progressive influences also that take some songs in unexpected directions.Everything from sonic journeys to fast heavy rock. What the band does best.
In 2004 in Malmö, faith united four musicians to form Deville, a heavy rock band with infectious energy. Armed with their authentic fusion of rock, metal and stoner, they got their first release out in 2006 and started to tour. Since 2004, they released five albums, played more than 500 shows and festivals all over Europe and the United States and shared the stage with great acts as Red Fang,Sepultura, Torche, Mustasch and many more. Hungry for more, they are back on stage with the new album ”Heavy Lies The Crown” out September 30th!
