REVIEWS:

GRIND ON THE ROAD
Rieccoli! Ed è proprio il caso di urlarlo, perché dopo il loro esplosivo esordio nel 2016 con l’etichetta Voodoorhythm il secondo album dei partenopei Devils, sempre targato Voodoo, conferma il precedente Sin, You Sinners con le sue sonorità aggressive e minimali a base di riff pesanti e ripetitivi, urla e batteria pestata.
Stavolta però nei due membri del gruppo c’è una consapevolezza, una maturità e diciamo pure una sfacciataggine maggiore e l’impressione che si ha ascoltando Iron Butt è che il garage rock italiano ha probabilmente trovato la sua band di riferimento proprio con i Devils. Tutto questo a riprova del fatto che anche in Italia una certa scena underground abbia una ragione di esistere e soprattutto di emergere e da questo punto di vista la cantante-batterista Erica Toraldo e il chitarrista Gianni Pregadio possono dire di avere vinto la loro scommessa dimostrando di aver poco o niente da invidiare ai garage rocker di oltreoceano.
Promuoviamo quindi questo “Iron butt” a pieni voti e tra i pezzi più interessanti citiamo l’indiavolata, e non potrebbe essere altrimenti, “Pray You Parrots”, “Don’ Tell Jesus” con un esecuzione vocale da brivido , la squinternata “Radio Maria Anthem” suonata tipo marcia trionfale e l’esilarante cover dei Deviants “The People Suite”. Uscita dell’album prevista per il 15 Dicembre prossimo.

NEW NOISE (USA)
Heresy, ass worship, and a chainsaw-on-metal cover of “The People Suite” from The Deviants round out what The Devils conjure up with their second LP, Iron Butt. Stylistically similar to their first LP, Sin You Sinners, these two Neapolitan fuckers amp up the tempo on this tenfold. The BDSM-like relationship that Erica Toraldo (drums/screams) and Gianni Vessella (guitars/throat) share is sweet and all but don’t expect these two to write complex songs that make you look inwards to find a deeper purpose with yourself. Wrong band! This is minimalistic, lunatic-level trash rock on amphetamines, the kind you hit it and quit it to! Trash rock? What the hell is that? Everyone will give you a different answer, ours is the most unhinged rock imaginable influenced by Russ Meyer movies, Hasil Adkins, seedy diner food, and a half-empty soda bottle with three cigarette butts floating inside.
As an econo lineup, minimalism yields maximum results here. Throughout the 10 tracks of Iron Butt, Toraldo and Gianelli collude with the dark side by addressing topics of sin, sodomy, and other facets of man’s ruin and ecstasy with scuzzy punk/blues riffing and thrashing drums. “Radio Maria Anthem” is the tamest track on this album because it’s an instrumental! From there, it’s a “musical” free for all that any prude or overly sensitive person will cry foul over, subject matter wise. Who needs discretion when you have a song called “Put Your Devil into My Ass”, Iron Butt’s explosive lead off. The duo show that they can get down with some heavy blues with “White Collar Wolf” but the rest of the album is fast as hell and ends before you know it, like the worst (or best!) lay you’ve ever had.
