Devildriver will return this summer with a country covers album, 'Outlaws 'Til The End'.
As first teased by vocalist Dez Fafara last year, the collection of outlaw country-gone-metal anthems will be released on July 6 through Napalm Records and boasts guest contributions from Lamb Of God's Randy Blythe and Mark Morton, Hank3, John Carter Cash, Wednesday 13, 36 Crazyfists’ Brock Lindow and more. Speaking about the record, Fafara said:
"I think real music has always gotten to me, whether it’s the blues or even real Goth music like Bauhaus and Sisters Of Mercy, as well as outlaw country greats like Johnny Cash, Wayne "The Train" Hancock, and Willie Nelson.
"That stuff has always attracted me, and this is absolutely the real McCoy. The blues and outlaw country are what made rock n' roll. They were around before rock n’ roll… and in my head, I’ve always heard these songs heavy."
Take a look at the album's cover art, tracklist and watch a teaser of Devildriver's cover of Hank3’s Country Heroes, featuring Hank3 himself, below.
