NEWS: Devildriver send their enemies to early graves!

It’s a new dawn, a new day and a new lease of life for American Groove Metal outfit Devildriver as they announce a new line up, a new album and US tour all on the same day. Enterprise Earth guitarist Gabe Mangold is now in the band and credited with recording, producing, mixing and mastering album “Strike And Kill” which is due out via Napalm Records on 10th July. The first of thirteen new songs is “Dig Your Own Grave” with the band having a tour for August in North America with Upon A Burning Body and Ov Sulfur as well. Pre-orders are available over at bandcamp.

Dez Fafara comments: “‘Dig Your Own Grave’ is about how one wrong decision, one wrong move can see your whole world turned upside down, effectively ‘digging’ your own grave… it’s that simple. It can also refer to how your decisions can fuck someone else. This is why there’s the line ‘six feet ain’t deep enough for you’, because only a deep, deep hole is fitting for what you’ve done or tried to do to others. Be careful when you choose to make decisions at Midnight.

My headspace hasn’t changed, I have not become complacent or soft in my view of the world or in my music. Metal is our outlet as listeners and writers, so on this record we focused on ‘getting it all out’ lyrically, and backing those lyrics with savage, relentless music that fuels the heavy California groove like no other. Devildriver has never sounded like any other band, we do our own thing in our own way, and I’m the most proud of that.

I’m so proud of these musicians, this music, and the vibe around this record. DevilDriver sounds like no one else out there right now, we are here to Strike and Kill!”
