DEVIL SOLD HIS SOUL, the much loved and influential underground UK 6 piece are finally set to release their brilliant new album “Blessed & Cursed” through Century Media Records on July 12th, 2010 in Europe. Produced by band guitarist Jonny Renshaw and mixed by Steve Evetts (The Dillinger Escape Plan, Glassjaw, The Cure, Sepultura), the album also features vocal contribution from Andrew Neufeld from Comeback Kid/Sights and Sounds, on the track “The Disappointment”.As Ed Gibbs (vocalist) says ”We're all extremely proud of this album, it's the best album we could possibly write at this moment in time. As far as we're concerned it's a massive leap from the last album, it's a much better record, more variety, more engaging, more aggressive, more emotive, more everything! We've gone all out in expanding what we do and more specifically doing it better. So we can't wait for anyone to hear it, and hope that people agree!”
The band will also be playing a handful of small and intimate UK headline shows in May and June around Slam Dunk Festival (last weekend of May).
