Devil To Pay hail from Indianapolis and say "it's all about the riffs man". After listening to their latest offering, Fate Is Your Muse, they're not wrong. Prepare To Die is the album opener and gives you a taste of what you're in store for...riffs, riffs and more riffs. If this is what preparing to die feels like, I'm cool with it. Second track Wearin' You Down is the musical equivalent of a seedy strip club with dirty grinding riffs and gravel soaked vocals. The riffs continue with Ten Lizardmen and One Pocketknife, a slightly more metal track than the album openers. No bad thing. Showing the diversity of Devil to Pay comes Yes Master, a nod to the more progressive side of rock. Already Dead takes us back to hard rock, reminiscent of Black Stone Cherry's sound. This Train Won't Stop is mistitled. It should have been called This Riff Won't Stop. Halfway through the album and no signs of a weak song. Savonarola carries on this trend. Black Black Heart slows the pace down slightly (relatively speaking) highlighted with some short but most definitely sweet guitar solos. Light on drums, heavy on riffs and bass.
