DevilDriver album news

2013-05-29 by Metalstyles | 28 Comments
California metallers DevilDriver have revealed the name, artwork and release date of their sixth studio album. The record is titled Winter Kills and will see daylight on August 27th, 2013. It is produced by Mark Lewis (Black Dahlia Murder, All That Remains, Deicide), who also produced the band's last album Beast.

Frontman Dez Fafara on the upcoming album: "This is by far DEVILDRIVER’s most cohesive, powerful, groove laden record to date!

We delivered our signature California Groove sound alongside a Raw and Biting guitar tone, mixed it with massive hooks, added in thunderous drums to rethink, and reshape another different sounding unique piece of Rock-N-Roll! Cutting our own path is something to be proud of. DEVILDRIVER has always and will forever be about thinking outside the box and delivering on something different from record to record, we cannot be assimilated into any scene or even genre of Metal and we will continue to do things our own way with a massive middle finger in the air to the status quo"

"DEVILDRIVER has always and will forever be about thinking outside the box and delivering on something different from record to record"
I enjoy Devildriver, but this is a pretty funny statement as there's really not THAT much variation album to album.

Statement seems almost self-parody kinda, surely every band is gonna describe their (metal) album this way?? :P I'll look forward to this, but it won't top Last Kind Words.

This band aren't as innovative or fresh as they think they are, but they still make great music.

They make some good modern metal albums but that's it, nothing new or some shit like that. Hope they make a solid record.

Pray for Villians ruled hard. I have a soft spot for this band.

Coalchamber did nothing but make people listen to other bands. And DevilDriver does nothing but make people to other bands too. A few good tracks but yet to produce anything of real substance? Maybe the Cookie Monster needs to be put to sleep?

You're not too far off with your description, but I think it's worth pointing out their first album is their worst one by a wide margin.

Agreed and so was Beast which was a stripped-down rehash instead of relying on their technical achievements of the past.

Beast actually experimented quite a bit in terms of guitar style, tone, and effects. Didn't feel
rehashed at all to me.

I gotta agree with NonApplicable. Beast had a different tone compared to Pray For Villains.
