Translated from German:

For the past 17 years, Devil To Pay has been pouring in DIY style mainly through the USA, letting their fabulous sound – a mixture of hard rock, stoner riffs and massive doom – be launched. Somewhere between rock and metal you feel in the best sense of Black Label Society, The Skull and Trouble recalls. With the sixth studio album “Forever, Never Or Whenever” , the Indianapolis quartet unleashes the next gripping song collection.

Of course, the rocking Stoner Doom veterans do not let themselves get carried away and serve their usual fare with thick guitars and a lot of cheeks. Already the opener “Heave Ho” shows how it sounds. Occasional biker vibes create a sympathetic antipole, in between multi-voice riffs are tried out. The gritty, frontal vocals work in the best sense nasty and yet catchy – you know meanwhile what you get from the US Quartet. Of course, the dark, doomy episodes are also part of this mix. “The Devil’s Barking Up Your Tree” rehearses the deceleration, takes the tempo out and gives herself instead to complete Heavyness. That makes a weird mood.

A certain straightness carries the tracks in always traceable climes. This oppressive reliability lets you rock and roll right away. As “Light Sentence” gradually sinks into nimble vibes, comes well, similar to the interspersed aggression of “Get On Down”. While the arrangement is rather leisurely, the vocals freak out. At the end it gets really nice heavy. Speaking of the end: The bouncer “Anti-Gravity Depravity” finally plays with the limits of the genre. A little extra length, discreetly proggige approaches and the screaming, playful lead guitar just look, what is feasible – damn much, damn much good.

What Devil To Pay delivers on their sixth studio album may not win an originality award, but that should not be a problem. Compact presentation, honest performance and sympathetic heavyness together with thrilling riffs underline the band’s familiar yet unique ethos. “Forever, Never Or Whenever” rocks, squeezes, spits and seduces in a loose order – another top example of the exceptional class of this much underrated and overlooked Stoner Doom institution.

New DTP Song & Album Mentioned at La Habitación 235

La Habitacion 235 wrote up a few paragraphs about the new song “Heave Ho”. You can check it out here: http://www.lahabitacion235.com/musica/noticias/devil-to-pay-anuncia-su-sexta-entrega-forever-never-or-whenever.html

(there are translation buttons on the upper right column)

Some of the translated text reads as:

Do you remember an album like “A Bend Through Space And Time” ? If the answer is no, they should catch up as we talk about it in their day (review here ), and if so, we already know them because if they want a good dose of trigger riffs , “Heave Ho ” has everything your Friday afternoon needs for you to start the weekend wanting to snack on a very cool jug of the wettest blonde you can find.

To the mess, from the heart of Indianapolis comes this quartet with his next album, “Forever, Never or Whenever” , again under the distribution of Ripple Music , who will launch their new offspring on November 8 .

The inscrutability of his discography speaks for itself, and his new feat will bring the toughest and most recognized rock in Indiana , through addictive compositions, disgusting voices and a stampede of the fleshest riffs .
