DEVILDRIVER Frontman: 'When You Hear This Record, You're Gonna Sh*t'

December 15, 2006

DEVILDRIVER frontman Dez Fafara recently spoke to MTV.com about his band's as-yet-untitled new album, tentatively due next spring via Roadrunner Records.

"When you hear this record, you're gonna sh--," he promised. "In a time when art of this sort is in total despair and everybody sounds the same, and everybody's trying to sound like METALLICA, PANTERA or IRON MAIDEN, we're making a definite move towards our own individuality, and it's definitely gonna show on this record. We're onto something here, and it's an exciting and inspiring time for me, man. Seriously."

DEVILDRIVER wrote 13 tracks for the follow-up to 2005's "The Fury of Our Maker's Hand" but plan to release an album with just 11 cuts, Fafara said. That will include "Cattle Call", "Damning the Heavens", "The Last Kind Words", "Monsters of the Deep" and the likely first single from the LP, "Bound by the Moon". Fafara says he's a fan of every single tune they've written: "I mean, we can't find a B-side, which is the most killer thing about this record. Usually it's obvious. You play 'em back and you go, 'Eh, that's a good song, but it doesn't fit with the rest.' Right now, we can't find [one]."
