Perkele.it review of "thirty pieces" Devil To Pay - Thirty Pieces of Silver Benchmark Records 02-16-04 roughly translated from Italian Devil To Pay I am a born band to the beginnings of the 2002. Provenienti from Indianapolis, succeeded to itself between the local band succeeding to win the first prize in a local competition that the honorable figure of 10.000 yielded him $. Thanks to this entry succeeded to produce immediately their first album. The sound born from four is blood and strong. A miscelanea of heavy rock and metal, with sprayed stoner here and there. The groove that comes created is of secure impact and the opener ("Mouthful of spite"), is of it the clear demonstration. Warm distortions for an entirely instrumental piece. "The lamb" the voice of Steve presents us Janiak, that is also guitarist together with Rob Secrist. The piece is loosened on varied changes of time, with a central part a lot of doom and dark, where note the voice, takes on endured tones. It is continued with the monolitica and metallic "Dinosaur steps", while "Whores of Babylon" us show the appearance more stoner of the band. A mid time from the bitter taste. A slow one to progress dark verse figures. Times a lot more syncopated in "Angular shapes " where comes put in obviousness the technical skill of the batterista Chad Prifogle. "Tractor fuckin' trailer" and still of more "Swathe", drain grunge from every note. Also the sung it appears a little different one with respect to the previous pieces. With "The new black" it is returned to the dark sceneries of the stilema doom with heavy and fat riffoni and slow and endured voice, while "Lowest common denominator" is how much of more deducted listens to. Surely the piece except for succeeded for metric construction too predictable , and for melodies that know really of already heard. Surely more scratching appaiono "Toreador" and the conclusive one " Valley of the dogs ". If the before it draws near to the sound of the Corrosion Of Conformity, the last pay I bestow to the Anchovy in Chains. The Devil To Pay deliver us a good product, surely more near resonance metal that not to those usual of our webzine. The production is of considerable thickness. Also the voice results always clear and recognizable, ever yelled to spite of the enormous majority of the band of this caliber, and percepibile in every word. You experience to throw us an ear. Something surely it will please yourselves. Peppe Perkele
