Devilskin touring new album Red

-

Devilskin are excited to announce a countrywid­e tour to support their chart-topping new album Red.

With the lifting of crowd and venue restrictio­ns, and due to massive demand, Devilskin will hit the road this August.

To celebrate we’re offering you the chance to win one of two copies of Red as the ideal precursor to the muchantici­pated gigs.

The response to the album, which has already served up ripper singles All Fall Down, Corrode and Everybody’s High But Me among its 12 stellar tracks, has been incredible right around the globe, with rave album reviews and fast additions to radio airplay at home and across the UK, Europe, Australia and the USA meaning Devilskin are amped to do what they do best — play live.

Reviewers have heaped praise on the new offering issuing forth comments such as:

“While the world is dealing with crisis, the music world is blessing us with some of the best art and content so far this year.

Devilskin have created a very inspired, well written and lyrically very human record.

Produced by global powerhouse-resident NZer Greg Haver (Manic Street Preachers/ Ekko Park) and Simon Gooding (Pink, Alien Weaponry), the production on Red is as huge as ever; crisp, with a real feel between live and studio, and complete with some added layers and elements (I heard that cow bell!).

Red is the universal colour of passion, vitality, blood,

danger, romance, anger, horror and love - this album captures all that and much more. — (Muzic.net)

At nearly 50 minutes there are far worse ways to spend the good part of an hour in isolation. And when you’ve done that, give it another listen and find even more reasons to love fRed. — (Wall of Sound)

…… “what is ultimately Devilskin’s finest album to date. Sure, there is an argument for the fact that despite the increase in production values, a lot of

Red could still be considered ‘Devilskin by numbers” – but why fix something that clearly isn’t broken? — (Ambient Light)

Why indeed? Bassist Paul Martin contends “Everyone’s lives have been affected by Covid-19 to some degree, if anything, it’s made us appreciate our freedom and the simple joys of being with our friends to celebrate good times and good music. Let’s do that. I think we all need a party, don’t we?”

We couldn’t agree more. The album is Red but there is black involved, because rest assured Devilskin will deliver it in spades! No contest.
