The Devil's Blood - White Storm of Teeth (OFFICIAL)

The Devil's Blood "White Storm of Teeth" from the album "III: Tabula Rasa or Death and the Seven Pillars".

"Prior to our disbanding on the 22nd of January 2013 we had been active with the pre-production of what was to be our third album. 7 songs, the complete outline of the album, had been, in humble form, recorded in my home recording studio and these demos were supposed to be the template for our studio recordings. Obviously we would never make it that far and the initial shock of that fact saddened us greatly. After but a few days we listened to this material again and decided that even though the audio quality might not be what people have come to expect from a The Devil's Blood release, the song material was and is the best we have ever done. We came to the conclusion that these songs deserve to become a part of The Canon and that we would release them as is.

"I spent a few days gathering all the demo material together, made a very simple mix and gave the material to our friend and mentor Pieter G. Kloos to master in his studio. Here we present you with the titles of the material and the artwork which was done by Manuel Tinnemans.

"The song we have chosen to release now is "White Storm of Teeth". More so than the other material this song speaks to the completion and transubstantiation that always follows an Occult path. Not the end of a journey but the start of a completely new one. Built around thirteen stanzas in the first part and thirteen stanzas in the second part the process of inner enlightenment through confusion and entropy and the initiation through the Death of the lower self is illustrated. This theme is rampant throughout the record and its lyrics but here it culminates and completely devours itself. After this work no words are needed and, on the album, none are offered.

"The Devil's Blood has always been an entity that defied any fealty or thankfulness towards any earthly influence. But we as people need not hold to this paradigm any longer. We therefore wish to express our sincere thankfulness to all those who have supported this weird quest and have made the earthly woes to not work against us. You most definitely know who you are.

"The record will be released by Ván Records in Europe and the rest of the World and by Metal Blade in North America. It will be available as digital download, CD and LP starting the 30th of April in Europe and a date soon to be announced in the USA/CAN. With thankfulness and a glad heart filled with the pride of a work well done,
SL/.../AO"

Put it very simple: Selim Lemouchi knew as no other how to channel the Dark Force and pair it with excellent musicianship. And yes, anybody saying this isn't black metal has no idea where black metal originated from in the first place. Do your homework, I would say.

[jaimuzyka]

One of my favorite albums of all time is compilation of demos!

[Mtchella]

It’s been years and I still come back to this video♥️

[LPDarkSoulsHD]

Now that, my good man, we can agree on. These guys are definitely unique and quite inspiring I must say. Not necessarily because of their ideals but their sound is something else for sure.

[gothiclight]

this last album has definetly a psychedelic touch.
accepted or not but the band evolved into this.

[wurstgitarre]

Read the discription box - the record will be released by Metal Blade in North America only, and by Ván Records in the rest of the world

There's no coincidence in life, this song(s) are/is instructions, I believe, as an Occultist, born in to the occult...I say this:"As above, So Below, As within, So without, So It Is Done"

[ToxicGriever]

Sadly the are done. The members still want to put out the material they were working on before the breakup though. You can find the detail on their website thedevilsblood(.)com.

[Bearthloth]

Genre boundaries aside, this sounds amazing.

[Jisker]

lol all the angry brootuhl metal kids mad at this upload.

[lueyorlouie]

Oh my.... It's been years... where were you!?

[LPDarkSoulsHD]

I don't think you can really call this metal. Heavy metal is not about Satanism. Satanism and sinister thoughts are something we call personal beliefs and they don't make the genre. Music is music. Song structure and instrumental work are what make the genre. Not the personal beliefs of the members. I'm not saying you're wrong or trying to make you look like an idiot. But those are the facts. Watain aren't black metal because they worship Satan. They're black metal because that's what they play.

[LPDarkSoulsHD]

I understand what you're saying. I never said black metal had absolutely zero to do with Satanism. I just wanted it to be clear that Satanism is not what makes it black metal. Satanism in not a genre of music. I like DB. But it's not very realistic to say they're metal just because they're Satanic. Do you see what I'm getting at? Let's be honest. Black metal is not the only genre that uses Satanic content for their image. It's heavy metal in general. Though it is huge in black metal vs others.

[OysterWallace]

so? who the fuck cares? It can still be GOOD MUSIC

[ryanexsus]

It's kinda exactly what the comment section is for.

[KaladinVegapunk]

I bask in the genre as a musician first & foremost, & the ideals a close second..
Did not mean to generalize, or contemptuously deride him for his oversimplification

I agree with you, genres are a means to an end, a tool for us to classify certain sounds for sake of discussion, & are in no way a legitimate classification

But you seem to miss the point.
I see Devils Blood as more an otherworldly entity, & only attempted to express this to him by simple means

Plain & simple, they fucking rule.

[KaladinVegapunk]

It's metal as SHIT man..vox may not be as brutal as you're used to but the lyrics are satanic & sinister as fuck, immaculate riffs & they are DEAD serious about music (til they broke up) using live shows as rituals & genuinely believing their macabre music taps in to the void

They worship Dissection (as everyone should, best metal band there is), & they & the members of Watain are literally on the same page about everything..
You realize many of the most ruthless BM bands love these guys?

[GrimCellar]

They're releasing the stuff they were working on just prior to their split, Adrian. A final farewell I suppose; what a great loss of talent.

[KaladinVegapunk]

Tricked how? You were searching for Watains Devils Blood the song?

[matthewgalli]

so... this band got signed to Metal Blade why?
