    DevilDriver are one of the most consistent metal bands on the Roadrunner roster and have a distinctive modern sound. Known for injecting as much groove as bite into their sound, DevilDriver have ascended the ranks to become respected artisans of the genre. Their name refers to a word in Wiccan law which translates loosely to driving away of evil but they always raise all kinds of hell. If you get a chance to catch them live, dont pass it up!

    We recently asked frontman Dez Fafara a few questions including why he chose METAL! Read on to see what he had to say



    WHY DID YOU CHOOSE METAL?

    I found my parents record collection and after listening to 3 Dog Night and Steppenwolf I gravitated towards KISS Alive and Aerosmith Rocks and it was done. I was bit! Then came punk Rock !!


    WHATS THE BEST KIND OF METAL?

    I like a groove … Motrhead is right up my alley !


    WHY WOULD YOU ENCOURAGE OTHERS TO CHOOSE METAL?

    Its aggressive, its cathartic in nature and it gets your blood pumping !


    YOUR RECOMMENDED DEVILDRIVER TRACKS

    I would say Clouds Over California (from The Last Kind Words) for a DevilDriver tune its got a little of everything in it! Turn it up!


    METAL MIX TAPE - DEZS TOP (6)6(6)
