“Forever, Never or Whenever” Makes the Obelisk’s Best of 2019 List

With their sixth album, Indianapolis’ Devil to Pay collect 10 tracks of unpretentious-almost-to-a-fault of straightforward heavy rock songwriting that continues to be woefully underappreciated. They have become utterly reliable in that regard — you know, to a certain extent, what’s coming — but the vocals of guitarist Steve Janiak (also Apostle of Solitude) and some more metallic turns to the riffing give Forever, Never or Whenever a subtlety that holds up all the more on repeat visits. I don’t know if Devil to Pay will ever get their due, but suffice it to say, they’re due.

“Forever, Never or Whenever” Enters the Doom Charts at #9

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who gave us a listen or a vote, DTP’s “Forever, Never or Whenever” entered the November Doom Charts at #9! The Doom Charts are a monthly list of the latest favorite albums from ‘bloggers, journalists, radio, podcasters and album reviewers from the heavy underground around the globe.’

“Indiana’s riff-renegades, Devil To Pay have been filling ears with their gloom ridden, grungy stoner rock for over 15 years. I’ve enjoyed every riff along the way. This album finds the band exploring and expanding their approach, adding a bit of prog to the mix. Arguably their most intriguing and well crafted album to date.” ~ADAM WALSH
