With the recent dramatic events occured in France, in the United States and also in Turkey or anywhere else in our world gone mad, one thing is for sure more than everything else: we all bleed red!

DEVIL YOU KNOW's members of this Dream-Team are maybe coming from outer-space, perhaps their acid blood is green but their DNA is mostly based on a unique Metallic combination; it's a human alloy nevertheless terrestrial. Oh dear, what a jubilant blast of detuned guitars and sharp leads, the double kicks are more efficient than ever dominant and forthright, blowing off your brand new Headphones in heavenly pain.

All guns are blazing and even more, a massive sound, exemplary in this first-class, high-end and dynamic production, smoothed by knob magician Josh Wilbur (LAMB OF GOD/ALL THAT REMAINS)... Crushing the sonic challenging competition with the latest amazing DISTURBED or the brand new TRIVIUM "Silence In The Snow" which is another winning asset for DEVIL YOU KNOW.

This stunning new album featuring young Italian guitar hero Francesco Artusato (ALL SHALL PERISH) and his impeccable licks ("Your Last Breath"). There are some refreshing elements brought to his already ambitious Shredding style, some beautifully delicate and subtle variations, and his performance with some incredible skiLlful fills by drummer John Sankey (formerly of FEAR FACTORY/DIVINE HERESY) are the icing on the cherry of the cake and a strong impact on a strictly real musical mode. It could be rated as a blueprint for every contemporary release, a statement for the mainstream Metal audience to celebrate DEVIL YOU KNOW as the new rulers in the upper level of Contemporary Modern Metal.

Of course, behind the microphone, the legendary ex-KILLSWITCH ENGAGE singer Howard Jones has totally recovered and he confirms his supremacy in the vocalist MetalCore rank category of heavy-weight.

His ability to switch from one characteristic to the antagonistic other so easily is impressive, his vocal range is amazing ("The Way We Die"/"I Am Alive") and now with "They Bleed Red" nobody will ever dare to call it anymore a Super project or suspect their artistic collaboration for being anything but a true band effort.

The DEVIL YOU KNOW's debut, 2014's, "The Beauty of Destruction" was a successful enterprise,  but "They Bleed Red" hits straight up a step higher than expected and easily surpassed on every detail.

If you want to finalize a total referential album and a commercial success in 2015, strategically you must have a little controversial spice... Something to make people's mouths run for the sake of a wind of indignation; you know the viral buzz. Well, obviously the polemical cover of "The Eye Of The Tiger" (a planetary hit single originally recorded by the famous 80's AOR masters SURVIVOR and written by the AOR guru Jim Peterik and Frankie Sullivan) in the physical version is the final marketing touch to reach the whole Metal audience, old or young... Good or bad publicity; whatever. Who cares? This is still publicity!

It had triggered an avalanche of wrath in vehement reactions ,a total fury of words among the conservative AOR fanatics, with exacerbated comments and such, yet I do not think this version has left anyone indifferent or cold... I had to confess that personally I found it quite interesting, ambitious and fun. The whole album could be rated in the same way!
