Devil Sold His Soul - A Fragile Hope (2007)


Intense, down-tempo post-hardcore (though verging on post-rock-styled screamo) from London. Definitely one of those albums that can be almost mind-numbingly heavy whilst firmly maintaining a delicate atmosphere. Recommended to any fans of heavy music, and a half-sincere "I swear it doesn't bite!" to anyone else.

Note: The first and second tracks on this album both make imagining stormed WWII-era beaches that much easier. Using a corpse as a lifeboat doesn't come until track 3. The last track is just a liar.

(Removed. Sorry guys.)
