David Priest of OnTrackMagazine.com has uploaded a new video interview with DEVILDRIVER frontman Dez Fafara conducted prior to the band's performance at the Long Beach Arena in sunny Southern California. Among the topics discussed were Dez's feelings on the group's latest CD, "The Last Kind Words", the criticisms of his past work and the band's place in the current metal scene.

DEVILDRIVER's third album, "The Last Kind Words", sold a little more than 14,000 copies during its first week of release to debut at No. 48 on The Billboard 200 chart. This figure represented around a 40 percent increase over the opening-week number of 2005's "The Fury of Our Maker's Hand", which premiered at No. 177 with sales of 10,400.
