DEVIL’S TRAIN were aptly described on Laut.de as ‘hard rock for convertibles – or for pole dancing‘, and this all-star lineup certainly lived up to that description. Their eponymous 2012 debut was full of adrenaline and testosterone, with hard-hitting rhythms and razor-sharp riffs. Towering above it all was the voice of R.D. Liapakis, the current frontman of the Michael Schenker Group and the heavy metal institution Mystic Prophecy. The Greek-born singer’s raw voice gave the 12 tracks the necessary kick, sending grenades such as “Roll The Dice”, the opening “Fire And Water”, and the band anthem “Devil’s Train” into ecstasy. With ‘American Woman‘, DEVIL’S TRAIN paid tribute to the rock ‘n’ roll of the ’70s, a genre all the musicians have in their blood.

DEVIL’S TRAIN’s groove is provided by drumming legend Jörg Michael (formerly of SAXON, STRATOVARIUS and RUNNING WILD, among others) and Finn Jari Kainulainen (formerly of MASTERPLAN, EVERGREY and STRATOVARIUS), while Lakis Ragazas (formerly of MYSTIC PROPHECY, among others) completes the quartet on guitar.

Today, the legendary debut album is being released for the first time on devilish, blood-red vinyl, as well as being re-released in a CD jewel case. Anyone who has missed out on this piece of hard rock history to date and wants to treat their record player should mark the date in their diary.

The album is available to buy here on CD, LP and digital formats: https://devlistrain.bfan.link/devil-s-train

You can buy the album on CD or LP from the label’s Bandcamp shop, including a signed autograph card. There is also a bundle available with a new, exclusive T-shirt: https://devilstrain.bandcamp.com/album/devils-train

‘I’m thrilled that our debut album, and soon its follow-up “II”, is finally being released on vinyl because our sound belongs on vinyl. My musical heroes hail from the ’70s and ’80s, when vinyl was the only format around and you had to put up with the crackles and all that jazz. The record is blood-red, just like our logo on the cover, and it literally burns – just like we did back then and still do today! As the CD sold out quickly and was never reissued, I’m also delighted that there’s a new CD edition so that everyone can get their preferred format,” says frontman R.D. Liapakis. 

DEVIL’S TRAIN subsequently released the albums “II” (2015) and “Ashes & Bones” (2022), and are currently writing songs for a new fourth album scheduled for release in spring 2027 through Fireflash Records.
