DEVIL’S TRAIN – II

Devil’s Train is a band based in Greece, and is made up of talented musicians including ex-members of reputable bands such as Mystic Prophecy, Stratovarious, and Evergrey.  The band hit the streets with their self-titled release in 2012, followed up now by their sophomore release entitled II.  The music of Devil’s Train is about as basic and no-frills as their album titles – they have opted for a thick, Modern Doom Metal sound that comes across as a blend of bands such as Thunder, Evergrey, and Soundgarden.  Sometimes it works, but other times their 11 original tracks feel repetitive and unimaginative.
