Nearly two years after their reunion with original lead singer Craig Owens, Michigan post-hardcore band Chiodos have released a new album. Titled “Devil”, this is the first release with Owens and drummer Derrick Frost since 2007’s “Bone Palace Ballet”.
Devil’s title stemmed from the struggle of the band to live a productive life amongst everyday difficulties. Owens stated Devil’s title “is about the temptations of everyday life; the things that become regrets; the moments where you are forced to make a choice that will determine how it is that you look at yourself for the rest of your life. This album is my definition of Devil.”
“I still can’t believe this day is here. I feel so blessed and thankful to continue doing what I do. The past two years have been the absolute best of my life. I couldn’t be more proud in this moment. Thank you all for helping me make my dreams come true.” – Craig Owens
Owens previously released a successful album with Destroy Rebuild Until God Shows (also known as D.R.U.G.S.) with former members of From First To Last, Story of the Year and Underminded. After Owens returned to Chiodos, D.R.U.G.S.’ fate became uncertain and the band disbanded shortly after.
