“There’s a really adventurous but relaxing sound to One Hallucination Under God. Kicking off with the trippy & mind-warping rock melody of Brave New World. It’s a start that will put a big smile on the face thanks to the feel-good vocals & hooky guitar riffs.” – Games, Brrraaains & A Headbanging Life
“Sounding like a mixture of early Black Sabbath and the prog rock of King Crimson, A Devils Din brings us their 3rd album of proggy psychedelia. The progressive elements in this album do not equate to long and boring, rather this album is full of mostly punctual, fun and catchy tracks. With an album title like One Hallucination Under God you are certain to have an idea of what to expect.” – Mind Noise Network
“One Hallucination Under God is a great album for learning the possibilities of merging classic and psychedelic rock. The chord changes from the Hawaiian guitar paired with a constant drum beat shows how A Devil’s Din’s primary concentration is mixing different musical genres to form one solid album.” – The Link Newspaper (Montreal, QC)
“With an excellent collection of sharp, relatively short songs stripped of any excess and with more hooks than a fishing tackle shop, One Hallucination Under God is the sound of a band totally at the top of their game in the studio with this elegantly crafted LP. ” – Thee Psychedelicatessen
“A Devil’s Din picks up right where their last album left off. Their psychedelic blend of Rock and Blues still blares right out of my speakers every time I have put this album on, either being in my car on my way to and from work or my situated computer space. The fuzz that comes from this album is cleverly blended and also pushed forth throughout the album. I found the mix between the fuzz and dilated vocals and the bass a interesting mix in One Hallucination Under God.” – Kingston Music Reviews
“Montreal psychedelic power trip A Devil’s Din continues to impress with this, their wittily titled third album. It is a timeless album, one with a great sense of fun and humour. Indeed, unlike so much of today’s music, it is positively positive! ” – Hellbound
“Rock ’n’ roll on the timeless precipice of psychedelic, progressive, transgressive danger. Be warned.” –Lorraine Carpenter, Montreal Mirror/ Cult Mtl
“For those into the good old smoothness of Bowie, the cheery lightheartedness of The Pixies, and a dark side of Sabbath, this is definitely an album (One Day This Will All Be Yours) to check out!” – Forget The Box
“This trio reminded me of a psychedelic, more-progressive version of Black Sabbath. ” – Bucketlist Music Reviews
“I simply love this album. I love to take a trip back into the glorious sounds of vintage psychedelic rock music and I would honestly suggest you do the same.” – Merchants of Air
“easy listening, sit back and enjoy the ride.” – Kats Metal Litter Box
“the band has one very important thing! Good songs. And even more special, great lyrics.” – ProgShine
“This is one gigantic trip, man! This album will have you gliding back through time to the days when Pink Floyd was still Syd Barrett’s band; to the time that Status Quo was writing Pictures of Matchstick Men, or when The Byrds wrote their famous Eight Miles High or The Doors their Spanish Caravan. Psychedelic sounds rule this album, yet with the spirit of Tony Iommi waiting in the wings to add some darker riffs. At least, towards the second half of the album, the band does sound a wee bit heavier than at the start.” – DPRP.net
“If you like old Jefferson Airplane, Yellow Submarine era Beatles and the like then you should dig the hell out of A Devil’s Din. I found it to be a lot of fun.” – Thy Demons Be Scribblin
” really love a great power trio, and A Devil’s Din is a power trio that sound like a 5 piece. The record is good listening, with some songs needing undivided attention due to the poetic lyrical content. With that being said, Skylight is a record with many layers and deserves many listens.” – Slickster Magazine
“Skylight is driven with hooks, and melodies and sprawling lead playing. I bet seeing these guys play live in an open air festival would be quite the experience.” – Kingston Music Reviews
“If you’re in the mood for a musical voyage into another era this is certainly an album you need.” – Canadian Beats
“treat for those that love their music trippy, funky and decked out in an Afghan coat and John Lennon sunglasses.” – Musipedia of Metal
“Drawing from Cream, Syd Barrett Pink Floyd, and all points in between, A Devil’s Din has reminded us how beautiful music once was.” – Glacially Musical
“Listening to A Devil’s Din has made me very, very happy–it is spacey, proggy, rocky, poppy and riffy all at the same time. It goes really good with grass, man!” – Mikey Heppner, Priestess/UBT/ Beat Cops
“Black Sabbath on Crass” – Dan Webster, Greenland Productions
“Hidden Treasures of Montreal pt.2: A Devil’s Din first full length is chockablock with ear-bending psych” – Matt Lee,Bigtakeover.com

A Devil’s Din are the psychedelic brainchild of UK-born Montreal-based multi-instrumentalist David Lines; joined on his creative journey by disciple of the Rickenbaker bass Thomas Chollet, and virtuoso drummer Dom Salameh
They are a trio of sonic alchemists that together create a chemical wedding of cosmic chords, constantly seeking the philosopher’s stone of the perfect psychedelic song…and as we all know, it’s not the journey…it’s the trip!
And A Devil’s Din certainly takes listeners on a trip…a journey to the center of the psyche with their superb mind-expanding music created for all the right reasons. Inspired by The Beatles (66,67), Syd Barret-era Pink Floyd, Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, Byrds, Lines describes his band’s music as ‘adventurous, transcendent, melodic, esoteric, rockin’!”.
A Devil’s Din has two fine albums under their collective kaftans, ‘One Day All This Will Be Yours’ (2011) and ‘Skylight’ (2016), and now, as though creating a trans-dimensional triptych, they unleash ‘One Hallucination Under God’.
Lines has very positive aims.
