Who is The Devil’s Trade
The Devil’s Trade is the musical project of Hungarian singer-songwriter Makó Dávid, one of the few artists from Hungary to build a significant reputation across the European alternative and heavy music scene.
Over the years, he has completed more than ten European tours and performed at some of the continent’s most respected festivals.
His music is built on honest songwriting, minimalist arrangements and a powerful emotional atmosphere.
From acoustic folk to post-metal influences
The Devil’s Trade began as a project rooted in acoustic folk and deeply introspective themes.
Over time, the sound evolved toward darker and heavier territory, incorporating post-metal influences while maintaining its intimate and personal character.
The result is a unique blend of folk, atmospheric music and emotional intensity.
European tours and major festivals
Makó Dávid has performed extensively across Europe and earned a reputation for powerful and memorable live performances.
His festival appearances include:
- Roadburn Festival
- Hellfest
- Brutal Assault
- Desertfest
These performances established him as one of the most distinctive voices in the European alternative music landscape.
The album “Nincs Szennyezetlen Szép”
His fifth album, “Nincs Szennyezetlen Szép,” was released in late 2025 through the renowned German label Pelagic Records.
Pelagic Records is home to acclaimed artists such as The Ocean, Mono and God Is An Astronaut.
Inspired by a period marked by both loss and new life, the album is widely considered the most personal and emotionally intense release of The Devil’s Trade so far.
