THE DEVIL’S TRADE
release
“Vidékek vannak idebenn”
THE DEVIL’S TRADE is proud to unveil the title track off upcoming new album ‘Vidékek vannak idebenn’, which finds singer-songwriter Dávid Makó and his new bandmates leaning into a more dynamic, heavier sound.
“Vidékek vannak idebenn” is dark and ominous, roiling with fierce electric guitar and booming electronic percussion. It’s now streaming on YouTube HERE and on all other digital platforms HERE.
“Vidékek vannak idebenn” will be released on July 14, 2023 via Season of Mist. It’s available for pre-order HERE.
THE DEVIL’S TRADE comments on the track: “‘Vidékek vannak idebenn’ is the first song I have ever written in Hungarian,” says Makó. “As usual it has a deeply personal layer but it also has another layer that is about the typical Eastern European political struggle: ignoring our history we make the same mistakes again and again till a point where our world gets so rotten and corrupted the only escape seems to be hiding in our own inner worlds. Luckily my inner world is flourishing more than ever.”
THE DEVIL’S TRADE recently announced a massive European run supporting ALCEST. A full list of confirmed shows can be found below.
THE DEVIL’S TRADE Mastermind Dávid Makó comments: “My next album and the new path I chose with it is the biggest step I have taken since I started The Devil’s Trade and I can’t be grateful enough to Alcest for this opportunity to share my new music with their people.”

“I was in the liminal space between past and present”
It is of no surprise liminal space is a key element in the next phase of The Devil’s Trade’s fourth album, ’Vidékek vannak idebenn’ (a title that loosely translates to ’There Are Landscapes Within’) as Dávid Makó, the man behind the moniker has indeed arrived to a threshold in his career, where the phase starting with his self-released debut ’Those Miles We Walked Alone’ ended after his latest album ’The Call of the Iron Peak’. The concept of liminal space itself is a not necessarily pleasant state of mind where you left behind your old life, but new doors haven’t exactly opened just yet.
As Makó states ’The process my first three records pieced together ended, that was no path for me to take anymore, but to take a step forward I had to make decisions I wasn’t inspired enough to make.’ – and from this frustrated, sort of paralyzed state of floating, a new incarnation of The Devil’s Trade was born and so was ‘Vidékek vannak idebenn’ along with it.
While still true to his solo artist roots, delivering gut-wrenching melodies of darkness and beauty on his own, Makó needed an expansion to his universe. With the addition of long-time friend and former bandmate Gáspár Binder on drums and a live keyboard player, he finally took the much needed step forward and ‘Vidékek vannak idebenn’ portrays the next sonic phase of The Devil’s Trade.
A soundtrack to the next phase of his life. A soundtrack to souls stuck in liminal space, hungry to adapt to new realities and to grow further, outside the boundaries which so often shackle them.
