THE DEVIL'S BLOOD at K17, Berlin


I just returned from worshipping the allmighty THE DEVIL'S BLOOD, feeling amazing with all my expectations more than fulfilled. Unfortunately I arrived too late to watch Verdunkeln's set, who are part of the minitour package. First things first, TDB were swaying their audience into the right mood with lots of candles on stage, the beguiling smell of joss sticks, and the sterling soundtrack of hellraiser. Speaking of sound, the first 2 songs had a slightly awkward mixing, but this minor shortage was quickly redeemed. The improvising qualities and stage presence of each member could be described as simply sublime. Many of the songs - a pleasant mix of old and new material - were freely arranged and played in a truly convincing manner, which made every head circle and every feet stomp along. Although I was only sprinkled by a few drops as the notorious spilling of blood was about to happen, I can state that this was one of the top 3 shows in this year.
