The Devil Went Down to the Holy Land is Israeli groove metal band Betzefers third full-length studio album, set for release in late 2012. To fund the albums mixing and mastering, the band started a campaign on the Indiegogo website to raise money from donations by fans.

The album was mixed and mastered by Tue Madsen, who also mixed and mastered the bands first album Down Low, on September 2–9, 2012.

On September 11, 2012, the band revealed the albums tracklist, being made up from 14 tracks, the longest Betzefer album to date.

The band began working on several music videos for several songs off the album: a lyrics video for "I Hate" in October 2012, a stop motion animated video for "The Devil Went Down to the Holy Land" in December 2012, a live music video for "Can You Hear Me Now" in January 2013, as well as another live music video for "Sledgehammer" in April 2013.

On November 8, 2013, the band released the first single off the album: "The Devil Went Down to the Holy Land". It was released with a stop motion animated video directed by Ricardo Werdesheim.
