Devil sold his Soul UK headline March tour,
With support from the Mirimar Disaster
Mixing together an epic and progressive, ocean sized film score sound with a harder, metal edge, Devil sold his Soul’s sound is a fine balance of power, aggression, melody and space. Mile high riffs, crashing percussion, piercing samples and an otherworldly melodic feel inhabit the bands finely tuned sound
Devil sold his Soul follow up their October headline UK tour with Bossk and Nov/Dec tour with Architechts with their biggest headline dates so far across March 2008. Again, DSHS have chosen to take one of the most exciting new, UK underground bands (continuing the trend from Exit Ten, Bossk, Fei Commodo, Blackhole and many more)
DSHS will also be reissuing their debut ‘Darkness Prevails’ 5 track mini album on March 3rd 08 through Black Willow/Eyesofsound, this time with extra unreleased demos and alternative takes, remixes, new artwork and an extra DVD disc featuring all the bands videos, a making off feature and live performance footage. The band will then be hitting Europe all across April and May 08 for support tours TBC
