DEVILDRIVER: First Footage From The Studio Posted Online - Jan. 31, 2009
Santa Barbara, California's DEVILDRIVER, the group fronted by former COAL CHAMBER singer Dez Fafara, has entered Edge of the Earth studios in Los Angeles to begin recording the band's as-yet untitled fourth album with producer Logan Mader (FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH, GOJIRA, DIVINE HERESY).

A two-minute video clip featuring early footage from the studio can be viewed below.

DEVILDRIVER recently re-signed with Roadrunner Records after previously issuing three full-length albums through the label. In addition, the band has secured a new management company in the shape of Davis Entertainment Group.

Commented Roadrunner Senior VP of A&R Monte Conner: "I am thrilled to welcome DEVILDRIVER back to the Roadrunner family. Dez Fafara and Roadrunner have quite a history together and we are happy to be going back into the trenches with him yet again. I'm extremely proud of DEVILDRIVER's steady ascent over the course of their first three Roadrunner albums. They continue to evolve and grow with each new record, and I know this next album will be the best thing DEVILDRIVER have ever made."

Stated Fafara: "I'm proud to say that DEVILDRIVER has resigned with Roadrunner Records worldwide. My friend and A&R rep Monte Conner and the entire staff have been like family to me since 1996 and I am looking forward to many, more years of working together and putting out music."

DEVILDRIVER's last album, 2007's "The Last Kind Words", has sold around 70,000 copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan. That CD shifted a little more than 14,000 copies during its first week of release to debut at No. 48 on The Billboard 200 chart. This figure represented around a 40 percent increase over the opening-week number of 2005's "The Fury of Our Maker's Hand", which premiered at No. 177 with sales of 10,400.

If you like Lamb of God, Slayer, and the new school thrash that is coming out, DevilDriver is a band that you will like. Check out their last album, it was great.

I didn't care for the last album much in my opinion. I thought the vocals overlapped each other way too much.

COMMENT | Really good band

If you're into Lamb Of God and that kind of shit, you could very well dig Devil Driver a lot.

Their last two records are crushing, fast and bearing no compromise.

Hahaha, I should work for Roadrunner...

The Last Kind Words hooked me for good. The drummer is an absolute bad ass!

I'll buy anything with him on it now!

Fast?......Fast?....FAST????? You people call this fuckin nu metal piece of shit band FAST???? Ha, not hardly. Brutal....not hardly. More copycat, cookiecutter bullshit from LA area. Follow the herd...just another cow. I said it before....Every song and every band in this shit genre of nu metal sounds exactly the same. Ride your drop tuned open note some more with just a slightly different picking pattern. Drop tuning is weak. Suck it up and tune your whole guitar down to B like the big boys do. No, not a seven string...but a six stringer tuned to B. Not D, not C, but B. Then you'll be on to something cool, as long as there are some blast beats mixed in with your 25 year old Slayer speed beats. And try writing something more in the 200 - 230 bpm range for once. It's not 1995 anymore.

i dont mind haters, a lot of bashing is funny. but whats funnier are the tools who drop their music theory knowledge. no one is impressed. i would have been more impressed if you ripped on dez or something. awesome band

jim26111981.......nice comment. 'Nuf said.
Dime.......Every band you listed as your type of bands are not awesome bands...BESIDES Opeth. Megadeth - So far, so good, so what was their last good one. Metallica's first 4 are good, Pantera - Vulgar was their only good one. Dream Theater has some great musicians but can't write a decent song. Music theory not applied here. Just basic 7th grade music class knowledge. Anyone who plays guitar knows those notes. I'm not bashing anyone, just having a discussion with you fellow metal heads. No harm intended...just my opinion.
