Hey, I was reading a few of the suggestion threads over the last couple of weeks and kept seeing Devil Doll pop up. I saw a used copy of The Girl Who Was Death in the bargain bin yesterday and picked it up. SWEEEEEEET. I've had a blast listening to this. Good and over the top with a sense of humour. No unnecessary LOOK AT ME I CAN PLAY SCALES REALLY FAST. Great song, was gonna say songs, but I guess there's only 1.5 song hehehehehe. Gotta get the rest of their stuff now. Not sure I could listen to it 24/7 but what a great change of pace. Thanks to everyone who suggested them.

| Devil Doll is a really decent band... Try Sacrilegium and Dies Irae too. |

| I don't know why but DD remind me of A.C.T. ACT are a little more instrumental and pomp rockish. DD is a bit more theatrical. Both are fun though. |

A really unique group. Brilliant. You need to get the Devil Doll masterpiece "Dies Irae". The other albums are good stuff as well. |

 The band is not very known at home but there is a cult following. The musicians are more known for other projects (non-prog). |

Hey terramystic, Do you know what Mr. Doctor is up to nowadays? I know that he doesen't give any interviews at least related to Devil Doll. Have you heard any rumours that there still could be a new studio album? |

I did have a big online article about them, a bit old, but newer than any recordings they've done. I think it basically said there wern't any plans to do anything more. There was quite some interesting stuff in it though. Incidentally, I wish someone could have leaked "Mark of the Beast"(?)

btw, the CDs are not easy to come by in the US (at least not in redneckville where I live now). We have both kinds of music here, country AND western. NASCAR is not just a sport, it's the ONLY sport. I guess the fact that millions of people will watch cars make a left hand turn all afternoon while sniffing exhaust pretty much explains why pop music exists. Back to the topic hehehe...I would have to mail order for like $30 to have them shipped. I have no clue how The Girl Who made it into a bargain bin in these parts. I'll keep searching and hoping. |

I believe Mr. Doctor has the only copy of "Mark of the Beast". |

I bought "Sacrilege of Fatal Arms" out of curiousity. I still consider it a curiosity in the world of prog rock. That's a quality I appreciate and I'm keeping it !

he's been pretty elusive for the past few years, and it's uncertain whether he'll release more new music after teh Dies Irae recording disaster. hes still making art i think, but mostly just for himself. i post on the DD forum, and there is a petition amongst fans that will be presented to him with pleas for more releases. www.devildoll.nl :) |
