Album Review

When DevilDriver first started out, some assumed the band was merely a side project for everyone's favorite facially tattooed frontman, Coal Chamber's Dez Fafara. But by the group's third release, 2007's The Last Kind Words, it appeared as though Fafara has completely put the nu-metal shtick of his former band behind him — the group is a 100 percent metallic beast that has more in common with thrash/extreme metal than all those unbearable "eyeliner metal bands." The group is just as heavy and brutal as the average band you'd spot while scanning Headbanger's Ball, as evidenced by such toe-tapping ditties as "Not All Who Wander Are Lost" and "Bound by the Moon." But therein lies the problem (the same exact dilemma that befalls many a modern metal band of the early 21st century) — there's not anything all that much different going on here when compared to all the other acts from the current metal crop. Nothing fancy — just an extreme metal roar that hits you right between the eyes, which may have been DevilDriver's goal all along.

Customer Reviews

Brutal and Trashing is the way to go...

Before this album had been released, DevilDriver had already been rising to the top as one of my favorite bands, and this album confirms it. This album astounds me, it sounds awesome and is somehow even more brutal and thrashing the The Fury of Our Maker's Hand, which draws me in even further. This is an awesome album that deserves to be bought.

Its louder, but...

takes a step toward the mainstream of typical Ozzfest second stage bands. There are good songs on here, but none of them great and half the time fail to live up to their opening riffs. The guitar work from Fury is there but its drowned out in the mix. Dez's vocals have lost much of their disctinctiveness and are more of the bark and yell variety of a thousand other bands that are far less talented. Its good stuff for starting mosh pits but the intricacy is lost on most of the tracks. Nothing here as interesting as something like Pale Horse Apocalypse or as catchy as Impending Disaster and Hold Back The Day. Head On To Heartache and Horn of Betrayal stand out and Not All Who Wander is solid but the rest is average. All "sound and fury" as it were. I liked that Devildriver was different among newer metal bands but it seems they've caved a bit. I'm still a fan but I expected more.

DAMN!!!!

good stuff!!!! if you like their older stuff then you'll definatly feel at home here but if you're new to DD, then check out the 1st track and then you'll want more fo sho. One of the top releases of the summer next to nile & behemoth

Biography

Genre: Rock

Years Active: '00s, '10s

Following the dissolution of Marilyn Manson/Korn-aping, nu-metal also-rans Coal Chamber, vocalist Dez Fafara hooked up with guitarists Evans Pitts and Jeffrey Kendrick, bassist Jon Miller, and drummer John Boecklin to form DevilDriver — a rather more extreme band dedicated to the subsequent hardcore-meets-death metal trends. Signed to Roadrunner like Fafara's previous group, DevilDriver released their eponymous debut to mixed reviews in 2003, and then its even less appreciated follow-up, The...
