Bloody Dreams LP

Devil Master's third album, Bloody Dreams, comes out on Relapse and keeps doing what this Philly band has done since 2015, raw black metal menace dressed up in glam-punk eyeliner and theatrics, like a crypt lit by a disco ball. One song reaches back and re-records a cut from the band's own demo days, first heard on a 2018 Relapse comp, engineered by Davis M. Shubs and Eric Bogacz and mastered by Arthur Rizk. The frontman name-drops Greek and Andean folk music and cumbia as influences, proof this band runs weirder than it looks.
