REVIEWS OF OUR SECOND ALBUM, GREEDY DOGS

The Ripple Effect, Nov 2010

“Resistance,” with it’s “six feet underground” refrain and mad-as-hell riffery is as certain to imprison your ear as the first time you ever heard “Paradise City.”

Read the entire review here. And you should, it starts off with “F**k Axl Rose. Go ahead, read it here.

Starr Tucker, NY Waste Sept 2010

Aaron Sagers, The Bellingham Herald Review of our Highline Ballroom show on 7/29/10

“Diablo Royale, a gritty heavy metal act with real musicianship, played loud but didn’t rely on volume. Without any gimmicks, they stole the night by channeling Soundgarden and Rage Against The Machine with a classic ’90s sound made modern that would play well to larger arenas.”

Ted Reyes, PopTimes Magazine July 2010

“The message of the songs in this EP is truly as important as the breath-taking music, unlike some hard-rock releases that only cater to the animal in people with the music and never the rational part in the lyrics.”

Eldritch Stuff, January 10, 2010

“This is not an album for the morning shower, or the commute, or break time on the job, or a steamy one-night stand — this is an album for all of those situations.”

GearsOfRock.com, January 8, 2010

“Containing a striking balance of timeless commercial appeal and balls to the wall attitude, Diablo Royale’s blazing twin guitar assault, uncompromising crunch and down and dirty hard rock swagger captures the grittiness of their hometown with a bevy of hooks ready to rock the masses.”

Sleazegrinder, Classic Rock Magazine, October 15, 2009

“Greedy Dogs is a slavering beast of an album, as aggro as Pantera, as slick and sleazy as their neighbours’ sex slaves, and as heavy as at least two tons of bricks.”

Shawn Donohue, Glide Magazine, September 02, 2009

“..they are continuing the hard rock tradition which in today’s music market is noticeably refreshing. If you are tired of wave after wave of hipster synth-pop and are jonesing for some balls out rock give Greedy Dogs a whirl.”

Dave Richard, Erie-Times News, Jan., 24, 2008

Ted Reyes, PopTimes Magazine, Jan.15, 2008

“If molten steel has its own sound, it will sound like Diablo Royale– probably the hardest rocking Fil-Am fronted band in Brooklyn.”

Allyson Crawford, Metal Express Radio, October 2007

“…So, do you need the Diablo Royale debut? The answer is yes if you want a good time with some Down ‘n’ Dirty Rock ‘n’ Roll.”

The Debonairs, Debonair Magazine October 2007

“…next time you find yourself in the iTunes store, and if you don’t want Britney to “give you more”, take a listen to Diablo Royale. Hilly Kristal might just smile from above.”

“…the New York City-based quintet is filling those mighty big shoes with a killer debut album and a high energy concert show.”

Joe Hartlaub, Music-Reviewer.com, August 2007

“DIABLO ROYALE, beer, and some slutty women with tattoos and piercing, and my brother, you’ve got yourself an instant party that’s not over until you say it is. Invite the neighbors and they won’t call the cops.”

Starr Tucker, NY Waste – May Issue 2007

“Heavy meddlin… DIABLO ROYALE sends their self titled release. Kickin drums, massive guitars and vocals to match, Bad ass rock-n-roar that keeps it evil – they put the devil back in metal.”
