Devildriver have confirmed the title of their new album as 'Winter Kills'. The album hits UK stores on 26th August. The band recorded the album in Florida at Audio Hammer Studios and vocals in Los Angeles, CA at Dez's home studio with Mark Lewis (Black Dahlia Murder, Whitechapel, All That Remains) handling production duties.
Devildriver has worked with Lewis previously on 'Beast' and 'The Last Kind Words', and Lewis's prolific leadership of the new school of metal has yet again helped Devildriver deliver another epic heavy metal record. This release melds what the band does best; 'in your face' power, as well as the California Groove sound the band have pioneered.
Devildriver has always been a band on a three-pronged mission: work hard, rock harder, and kick as many asses as possible in the process. The band tours almost non-stop, and has done since its beginnings over 10 years ago. Their live performances and circle pits are almost as legendary as their music. Frontman Dez Fafara states:
"This is by far Devildriver's most cohesive, powerful, groove-laden record to date! We delivered our signature California Groove sound alongside a raw and biting guitar tone, mixed it with massive hooks, added in thunderous drums to rethink and reshape another different sounding, unique piece of rock n' roll! Cutting our own path is something to be proud of. Devildriver has always and will forever be about thinking outside the box, and delivering on something different from record to record. We cannot be assimilated into any scene or even genre of metal and we will continue to do things our own way, with a massive middle finger in the air to the status quo! Hail rock n' roll!"
The band will be hitting the road worldwide in support of 'Winter Kills' with Bloodstock Festival first up on the UK agenda. The band play the Ronnie James Dio main stage on Sunday 11th August. The US can expect to see them on the road this autumn/winter, with further dates in the UK, Europe and the rest of the world following in 2014.
