Devil Sold His Soul is a post-hardcore/progressive metal act from London, England that released its debut full-length album A Fragile Hope following several years of touring the UK. The album was met with rave reviews by music publications covering England's hardcore music scene, and served to catapult the band into the critical spotlight. Since then, Devil Sold His Soul has continued its rather busy touring schedule, on top of recording and releasing its second full-length album Blessed & Cursed in 2010--a release that, despite its limited exposure, has been praised by many listeners as being a worthy, and in many ways, better follow-up to the band's debut.
