Be it the folk of the Appalachians, the tales of Hungarian and Transylvanian traditionals, singer-songwriter Dávid Makó, who redefined himself as THE DEVIL’S TRADE a few years ago, fuses his past of metal and his roots laying deep in the folk songs of his immediate surroundings. Very much like the Iron Peak, a mountaintop both metaphorical and literal is calling for Makó, he is calling for you to share his rituals of loves and hopes lost and found along the pilgrimage of his. It is after all, the journey itself that matters the most, and how you adapt. From basements in his hometown of Budapest, to all corners of Europe, stages small and big, THE DEVIL’S TRADE has been relentlessly walking on his path finding his voice and calling, and that is to let listeners to glimpse into himself through his heart wrenching songs.

This is the long awaited follow-up to The Devil And The Almighty Blues’ highly acclaimed self-titled debut album, and these guys have not gone astray! The album ‘II’ gives a peep through the pinhole at a band’s honest, dark and pure expression, drawing influences from the original delta blues via the electrical revolution in the late sixties/ early seventies, to the more contemporary desert scene. Formed in the rock’n’roll underground of Oslo, Norway in 2010, The Devil And The Almighty Blues have captured the attention of blues and rock enthusiasts from all corners of the globe. And with good reason: Filled with a profound love for the old heroes of the blues, for rock, metal and punk, they bring something extraordinary to the scene. In cooperation with Blues For The Red Sun, a label based in arctic Norway, DATAB are ready to unleash their second album on the world at last! Armed with vintage Gibson guitars and tube amplifiers, they recorded ‘II’ live in Ocean Sound Recording Studio on the edge of the North Sea. This was to preserve the natural and musical energy, the desperation and dark joy we know and love from their live shows. DATAB represent a new take on blues-based rock; heavy without becoming metal, dark without being doom, bluesy without being straight up and boring. The album has turned out melodic, raw and unbelievably heavy. This is far from being a possible hit on the radio, but who cares?
