Devil You Know is the intersection of three undeniable talents from the world of heavy music.

Following their shameless exploitation of the brutal capitalistic mindset behind the Super-Rock idiom with their Falcon (ex-Circle) album Frontier, and some live dates as Circle in collaboration with visual artist Mika Taanila (for his Time Machines exhibition) which resulted in the March 2, 2014 released live album Sseennsseess (review by yours truly posted...see for yourselves!), the band members behind Finland's Avant-Rock explorers Circle (currently re-named to Circle (ex-Falcon)

Although I’m more into the melodic side of metal, the chance to review one of Belgium’s  greatest metal bands, could not be passed.  With an open mind, I put the album in my player.  And…at the first spin I thought : it’s not bad, it’s even good for a Belgian, or for that matter any other band, but it’s nothing special either.

Ach, split singles...a delight to the record collector when bands contribute exclusive tracks to such vinyl delights, and especially when one of the bands concerned turns out to be a previously unknown entity...but a sheer nightmare to music journalists having to review such offerings, when not having review either of the bands before! I mean, having bought Cortez' 2007 debut “EP” Thunder In A Forgotten Town, I'm already familiar with what they bring, but until recently most things Stoner were left to a specialist colleague.

Founded in 2011, and consisting of singer Thomas Marijse, guitarists Didier Cottenies, Sven Caes and Glenn Labie, bass player Frederik Declerck, and drummer Gianni de Lobelle (whom recently affiliated himself to this here website as a reviews writer), Basement Critters is a Belgian Heavy Metal band with roots in Punk-Hardcore act Fuseless (of which some BC members were part), which rocked the local stages in the Flanders provinces during th

The Swedish band ‘Avatar’ debuted eight years ago with ‘Thoughts Of No Tomorrow’. They had influences by bands such as: ‘At The Gates’, ‘In Flames’, ‘Rammstein’,… they were a great inspiration for the band but with their previous release ‘Black Waltz’ they had found their own way.

Anti-Mortem a Southern Metal band formed in 2008 in Oklahoma, Chickasha, US. Members are: Corey Henderson (Bass), Levi Dickerson (Drums), Nevada Romo (Guitars), Zain Smith (Guitars) and Larado Romo (Vocals).

I do not think that I am exaggerating if I say that Enthroned are one of the most important names ever that hail from Belgium when it comes to (Black) Metal. I do follow them as from the very beginning (as a matter of fact, I was following most of the members’ former bands too, and then we’re talking about more than two and a half decades ago).
