Devil Sold His Soul Tour Dates and Upcoming Concerts

Forming in 2004, from the ashes of experimental metal outfit Mahumodo, Devil Sold His Soul took Rick's (orig guitarist of Mahumodo) original concept of sweeping chord progression based epic songs to the next level. Releases to date include an ep Darkness Prevails (re-released in 2007 with live footage, tracks and studio cuts) and their debut album A Fragile Hope which was received with great acclaim from both press and listeners alike. The band has extensively toured since its inception, a extreme task which has paid of dividends by moulding their tight framework in a live environment and increasing the dynamics in their song writing abilities, this is very much apparent with the albeit slight yet clear differences between their two recorded releases. It is unfair to make tertiary comparisons to other "epic metal" acts such as Cult of Luna (DSHS toured as main support in 2008), Isis or even more progressive bands such as Tool, their sound is far more stripped back, infectious looping of chord progressions which give it a far more accessible and even pop like sensibility, you will rarely find a fancy fiddly guitar riff amongst the crushing chug contrasted with the visceral yet melancholic clean phrases.
