71. The Devil’s Blood - III: Tabula Rasa or Death and the Seven Pillars (2013)
Selim was a funny and entertaining dude. He chose to embrace his demons, instead of trying to run from them. That came with a lot of musical gems but also the decision to quit halfway making this album. Lyrics of the 22 minute opener I Was Promised A Hunt has the words ‘My words were never made for you to hum…’
70. The Devil’s Blood - The Thousandfold Epicentre (2011)
There’s so so so much (black) magic songs an parts on this record . My favourite TDB album, this one (and as you can tell from the second photo, I’m a fanboy yup)
69. The Devil’s Blood - The Time of No Time Evermore (2009)
Damn, that middle part of House of 10.000 Voices! Christ or Cocaine! And what about The Anti-Cosmik Magick! And… yea it’s brilliant all over.
68. The Devil’s Blood - Come Reap (2008)
Some 20 years ago Selim was my coworker and we bonded pretty quickly. He was fan of my band and I loved his doom-outfit Red King Rising. A few years later I heard the demo for his new band The Devil’s Blood. Although it sounded crappy, the songs were a whole new level. I was an instant fanboy and probably always will stay a fanboy.
