2013, THE DEVIL WENT DOWN TO THE HOLY LAND is Israeli groove metal band Betzefer's third full-length studio album. After releasing two independent EPs and following the signing of a record deal for their self-produced debut album with Roadrunner Records, Betzefer established their status as Israel's biggest and most successful metal band and set on a long episode of touring - playing, among others, as main support for the likes of Soulfly and Lamb of God in their European tours. Their immediate success with the new foreign crowds quickly put them on the main stages of the big summer festivals. Back in Israel, the band grew even stronger and started crossing into mainstream awareness, headlining the rock stages of the biggest Israeli festivals and constantly earning more and more attention from the local media.
