"Bigger than the Devil" is the third release by crossover thrash band Stormtroopers of Death (S.O.D.). The album was released in May 1999 on the Nuclear Blast label. Its cover design is based on Iron Maiden's "The Number of the Beast" and its title (whose font is the same as Slayer's Live Undead title) is a play of words on the Beatles member John Lennon proclaiming "the Beatles are bigger than Jesus Christ" .

Subsequent releases have included both the entire "Seasoning The Obese" EP -- incorporating both tracks "Seasoning The Obese" and "Raise Your Sword" -- as well as the "Ballad Of The Scorpions" (originally released simply as "Rock You Like A Hurricane" on the Scorpions Tribute Album), bringing the total number of tracks to 28.

"Seasoning The Obese" is a reference to the Slayer song/album Seasons in the Abyss
