Babysue.com review of "thirty pieces" Devil To Pay - Thirty Pieces of Silver (CD, Benchmark, Stoner rock) Heavy 1970s influenced stoner rock. The band Devil To Pay sounds something like a cross between Alice Cooper, Deep Purple, early Red Kross, and Black Sabbath...except with extra punch and volume. The tunes on Thirty Pieces of Silver are heavy on riffs and relatively light on guitar leads. There is a misconception that Indianapolis is solely the home of pop bands, as these guys can compete with the best stoner rockers in northern California. This album begins with the unlikely "Mouthful of Spite"...an unusual choice for opening cut because this one is a heavy instrumental. The Sabbath influences creep in on "The Lamb" and remain intact for the remainder of the album. While the guys in Devil To Pay are not treading any new ground, they certainly play with infectious enthusiasm and style. Featuring great heavy rock from start to finish, Thirty Pieces of Silver is a fine platter that holds up to many repeated spins. (Rating: 4+++)
