Since they formed in 2002, DevilDriver have enjoyed a slow, steady career build. Their self-titled 2003 debut was a crushing introduction to a new breed of extremity, spearheaded by the distinctive vocal ferocity of front man, Dez Fafara. The band?s 2005 follow-up, The Fury of Our Maker?s Hand was more musically accomplished and experimental. But with their new album, The Last Kind Words, DevilDriver has taken a quantum leap up the evolutionary metal scale, crafting an album that?s simultaneously brutal, melodic, technically complex yet instantly accessible. After years of touring and releasing records, DevilDriver have honed in the essence of their songwriting potential, with what has been described by the band as by far the best DevilDriver record we have made.
