Chiodos Releasing Their New Album “Devil” in April

by Ryan Minic | Jan 27, 2014

This one’s been in the vault for some time — our 2007 interview with Chiodos, where the band talked about their beginnings at the Flint Local 432 in Michigan. Now here we are 13 years since the band’s formation and they’re gearing up to put out their fourth studio album this spring.

The new record is called Devil. It features their original lineup with newly added guitarist Thomas Erak, who you also know as the main man in The Fall of Troy. It’s 13 tracks long and is schedule for release on April 1st via their own Razor & Tie imprint drk/lght Records.

Since Erak joined Chiodos before TFOT announced their reunion, we can’t help but wonder how his involvement with the band will affect The Fall of Troy — especially now that they’re back 100% DIY.

What do you think — Chiodos or TFOT?
