“DevilDriver” is the name witches give to the bells they use to drive away evil when casting their spells. But the DevilDriver we speak of is a band.

DevilDriver is twelve songs strong, and was recorded at two different studios with two different producers. The drums and main guitars were recorded with Ross Hogarth at Rumbo, where a little album called Appetite For Destruction was done. The vocals, overdubs, and bass tracks were recorded with Dan Certa at Castle Oaks. It was a positive experience for all involved, and Fafara says, “It was gratifying to work with a bunch of wonderful musicians that wanted to do their jobs, where business came before playtime.” Fafara even goes as far as to deem the recording experience as “heartwarming,” since DevilDriver is a cohesive unit, where all the members were present during recording and functioning as a team.

Fafara admits that black, death, and classic heavy metal influences have reared their heads on DevilDriver, and compares his players to no one that he has ever heard. In essence, DevilDriver has formed its own style of rage, darkness, and fury. Songs like “Die (And Die Now),” “I Could Care Less,” and “Nothing’s Wrong?” could fuel a large nation'’ army.

DevilDriver just wants its music to be heard. The band just wants to get on stage and kill it every night. “This band will tour until the wheels come loose,” Fafara says.
