Featuring members of Pentagram, Virgin Steele and Raven, Devil's Childe are a cavernous pit of morbid heavy metal, the type of album kids would have been scared to buy if they'd see this in the import racks. And they'd have a right to be scared - like Damien Thorne's bewitching 'The Sign Of The Jackyl', 'Devil's Child' boasts similar demons. The fuzzy guitars, and those hellish screams sound like this album was recorded in the very depths of Hades, doom-laden in every aspect, from the nightmarishly obscure vocals to the dungeon drums. The dense menacing fuzz of 'Beyond The Grave', the galloping thrash rhythm of 'Son Of A Witch', and the vampyric horror of 'Rain Of Terror'. Gothic and damp, Rocky Horror metal for those brave enough to frequent the graveyard on a dark and stormy night. Satan's legion would be most impressed.Monday 4 April 2011
