A definite change of direction on A Lullaby For The Devil kicks off a new era for DeadSoul Tribe. But not to worry: the result has remained typically Devon Graves!

With their fourth studio album “The Dead Word”, Deadsoul Tribe continue to develop their intriguing sound. Ably supported by colleague Adel Moustafa, mastermind Devon Graves – the man once known as Buddy Lackey – again proves to be the perfect creator of dark soundscapes, which fall upon on the listener with a kind of Tool influenced power. Those who listen carefully however will learn that there is much more than darkness in the music, there is a poetic air with a lot of hope and optimism in Graves’ lyrics.

A tree in winter – naked, the leaves have fallen, it almost desparately stretches it’s thin branches to the cloudy sky. A good many people associate dreariness with such an image, others think of loneliness, hopelessness, emptiness or even romanticism. But at any rate, Devon Graves of Dead Soul Tribe was fascinated so much by this spectacle of nature that he used it as a basic idea for his new album “The January Tree“.

Dark and poetic progressive metal centred around the song writing of Devon Graves (ex-Psychotic Waltz).
