Dopelord Announce Reissue of Sign of the Devil
Posted on April 8, 2026
More information about Dopelord - Sign of the Devil
While faithful worshipers of the almighty riff, Dopelord are addicted to more than just the devil’s lettuce. Since budding out of Lublin in 2010, the Polish band have led children of the haze further down the left hand path. On their fourth album, Sign of the Devil, they blew the gates of hell wide open with magickal stoner-doom.
“Primo weedian stoner sludge doom of precisely the proportion-of-riff one would expect from Polish bashers Dopelord”, The Obelisk wrote in 2020 upon the release of Sign of the Devil.
Having just wrapped a smoking European tour with Napalm Death, today, as they prepare to return to the road with Monolord, Dopelord are excited to announce that their new label home Season of Mist is reissuing Sign of the Devil.
“We had just moved to our new rehearsal space”, Dopelord bassist and vocalist Piotr Zin remembers about Sign of the Devil. “Piotr Ochociński, our drummer, had just joined the band. There was some pressure going into the album. A long tour was booked right after it was scheduled to come out, which happened to be March 11, 2020. Either way, Sign of the Devil is definitely one of our strongest albums. We still very much enjoy playing these tunes live”.
Season of Mist will reissue Sign of the Devil on June 5, 2026.

Sign of the Devil carries all the marks of Dopelord. As they profess during the heavy psychedelic enchantment of “Doom Bastards”, this band take heathenish pride in crafting slow songs with loud amps and caveman riffs. With Behemoth producer Haldor Grunberg twisting the knobs, their hypnotic grooves and faith-shaking fuzz ring loud and clear on weed cult favorite “The Witching Hour Bell”.
“Hail Satan!”, Dopelord proclaim during a chorus so catchy that it haunts the haziest dreams.
On Sign of the Devil, Dopelord summon stoner-doom that truly raises horns.
