Ever since Chicago riff machines Bible of the Devil first cranked up the jams 20 years ago, Reader critics have had a devil of a time deciding whether their music is metal or hard rock. Gossip Wolf is ready to settle the debate—it just doesn’t matter! Last week the band self-released their seventh full-length, Feel It, and BotD’s snapping dual-guitar attack and strutting rhythms are in fine fettle on blasters such as “(Love at) The Speed of Night” and “The Downtown Boogie.” The band are still planning a record-release show (and other 20th-anniversary events), but for now they’ll celebrate Feel It with a DJ set at Exit on Sunday, March 24, where they’ll raffle off BotD swag and tickets for concerts by Yob, Judas Priest, and Uncle Acid & the Deadbeats. Bring a cake!
