Chiodos’ Bradley Bell comments, “Never has this band been so excited about a music video, it's weird. This time we took the approach of having fun and getting everybody involved in some acting and just being their weird selves. Hopefully everyone else enjoys it as much as we did!”
Chiodos’ recently released new album DEVIL (drk/lght records / Razor & Tie) debuted at#12 on the Billboard Top 200 Album Chart with more than 18,000 units sold. DEVIL also entered the Billboard charts at #1 Independent, #2 at Hard Rock, #3 at Rock and #5 at Vinyl.DEVIL is available now on the iTunes Store (http://georiot.co/DEVIL).
The band delivered an album that Alternative Press calls “a cohesive arc of power, finesse, quirks and accessibility in equal measures” and Outburn brands “a full-bodied, dramatic, and richly textured collection of songs that remind us of the Chiodos we knew and loved in the late 00s”. Produced by David Bottrill (Tool, Muse, Stone Sour) and mixed by Josh Wilbur, it’s an album that marks a celebratory return to form.
Chiodos continue to draw packed houses and recently wrapped the The Crowd Surf America Tour with blessthefall, I Killed the Prom Queen and Capture the Crown.
