With Craig Owens returning to Chiodos, balance
was restored in the world and things seemed right again. Okay, maybe
that's a bit of an exaggeration but in all seriousness, I've been waiting for Craig Owens to
come back to this band since he left. While this may not be the line-up
that gave fans All is Well that Ends Well and Bone Palace Ballet
(original lead guitarist Jason Hale left in 2012, replaced by former- Fall of
Troy guitarist Thomas Erak), Chiodos’s newest LP Devil hits us with passion reminiscent of the pre-Illuminaudio
days without losing the growth they found in instrumental technicality.
