"I'm stoked as hell," admitted DEVILDRIVER frontman Dez Fafara. "There are such different bands on the bill — such different styles of music. I think it's great to go to a bill like that, so it should make for a great night."

It seems only right that DEVILDRIVER be invited aboard the Defenders Of The Faith tour, with Dez's stalwart metal lineage, from COAL CHAMBER to the 'DRIVER – never straying from the path.

"Defenders Of The Faith sounds good to me," he says. "And of course, when I hear that, I immediately think of JUDAS PRIEST: one of the best bands in the world. The name is perfect, with all of us doing metal. These bands are all doing their music individually for what they want to do, and that is so refreshing for me."
