Hailing from Chicago, Bible of the Devil is a four-piece rock and roll metal assault squad specializing in anthemic, hell-raising anthems evoking images of human dementia, conquest, urban debauchery and violence. This band's sound is rooted deeply in the heavy grooves of seminal heavyweights like Blue Cheer, Mountain and Black Sabbath, but with a more streamlined modern approach that fully capitalizes on the bands strengths: pummeling rhythms, dynamic musicianship and vocals bellowed forth with conviction and purpose.
