Devil is the fourth and final studio album by Michigan post-hardcore band Chiodos, released on April 1, 2014. The album takes its name from the band's definition of the word "Devil." Returning vocalist Craig Owens explains:
Devil isn't something I thought long and hard about. It is something that hit me, and hard. I asked myself if I was brave enough to stand behind such a strong, emotionally evoking word.. and I knew right then, that was it. This title is not to be confused with the muscled, red horned man surrounded by fire. This is about the temptations of everyday life; the things that become regrets; the moments where you are forced to make a choice that will determine how it is that you look at yourself for the rest of your life. This album is my definition of Devil.[4]
The band has also cited American writer Mitch Albom as a source of inspiration for the album.[5][6]
This was the first album the band recorded after reuniting with original vocalist Craig Owens and original drummer Derrick Frost, and the first and only album to feature Thomas Erak of The Fall of Troy as lead guitarist after the departure of original lead guitarist Jason Hale. The album was released on April 1, 2014, by Razor & Tie. Several songs and videos are slated to be released leading up to the album's official debut.[5][7][8]
The band headlined the Devil's Dance Tour 2014 early in the year in support of the album.[8][9]
