DIABOLIC FORCE - Praise Of Satan (LP)

Vinyl LP pressing, A cult name in the metal underground, Diabolic Force is a power-trio in the classic mold of Venom, Bulldozer, and Mot÷rhead. Theirs is a nasty 'n' blasphemous sound that encompasses the totality of ancient metal, be it thrash, speed, or first-wave black, but especially the unholy trinity of early Sodom, Bathory and Hellhammer. Diabolic Force built a granite-solid name on their underground work during the first decade of the 2000s, with the title of their first EP, Old School Attack, laying bare their aims. But it was the release of their debut album, March to Calvary, in 2009 which ingratiated the band to diehards the world over. Alas, the band have been sadly silent since, but the time has now arisen for Praise of Satan: in every way conceivable, an intensification and solidification of the trademark Diabolic Force: attack, fouler and fiercer and more memorable than ever.
