The Devil's Blood was a Dutch occult rock band from Eindhoven, formed in 2006. Their style is rock-and-roll-flavoured hard rock in the vein of Black Widow, Coven, Black Sabbath and a plethora of 1970s underground progressive rock. The group's name is taken from "Devil's Blood" by the Swedish black-metal band Watain.
The group was founded by lead guitarist, lyricist and principal songwriter Selim "SL" Lemouchi. SL's sister, Farida "F. The Mouth of Satan" Lemouchi, was asked to join the group after providing vocals for the song "The Graveyard Shuffle".
On 11 September 2009, the group released their first full-length album, The Time of No Time Evermore, through VÁN Records.
On 11 November 2011, the band released their second full-length album, The Thousandfold Epicentre, also through VÁN; it was later released in the United States through Metal Blade Records on 17 January 2012. Following the US release of the album, the band embarked on The Decibel Magazine Tour 2012 – headlined by the Polish blackened-death-metal band Behemoth – which encompassed twenty-six tour stops across North America. During the tour, the band received some publicity after their bus driver allegedly ran off with their money leaving them stranded in an intersection in San Antonio, Texas. SL stated the group planned to continue to tour throughout the remainder of the year and play in as many locations as possible.
