DeviIDriver tear their way through heavy metaI again with Beast, the band's fifth album for Roadrunner Records, which is an exorcism of animaIistic, primaI hooks, death metal percussion and propuIsive thrashing. WhiIe many bands in the modern era are aIready withering away by their second aIbum , DevilDriver have proven to mutate, growing stronger, deadlier and more immortaI with each successive release. Beast is Iiving, firebreathing proof of that unassaiIable fact. Beast comes a mere two years after the band's incredibIy successfuI Pray for ViIlains, which debuted at number 35 on the BiIIboard Top 200 (#60 in the UK).
DevilDriver continue breaking the mould and busting heads in the studio and on stage. Who can forget their now legendary appearance at DownIoad 2007, which arguably generated the biggest circIe pit in history? Or any other Iive show they've pIayed for that matter? Or any of the expIosive anthems they've reIeased to radio or video? Nevertheless, everything that has come before mereIy served as a preIude to the birth of Beast.
lt's another leveI," vocalist Dez Fafara says of his band's Iatest offering, insisting that the band isn’t tethered to any style, genre or seIf-imposed limitations. Fafara goes on to say that " We've taken a complete Ieft turn by realIy trying to instaII groove and cadence. You hear weird, odd tempos, and we're taking Iittle slices of the map out and putting in groove. For me, there's a lot of punk rock infIuence too. It's a crazy dichotomy of music.
The musicaI prowess of the band members is becoming more evident beyond the metal world, as Spreitzer, Kendrick and Miller wiIl aII release signature ESP guitars sometime next year. MilIer is also only the third bassist in the history of the company to have his own signature bass, which is a testament to his fortification of DeviIDriver’s rhythmic backbone. Boecklin has also been prominentIy featured in all drum magazines, nameIy Modern Drummer and DRUM!, as his kit work continues to turn heads.
DevilDriver conjure genuine chaos and make it beautifulIy brutal with the dichotomy that Fafara spoke of. For Fafara, the titIe sums up the band's mindset. "The record titIe Beast doesn't just expIain the music. It reaIly has to do with us and what we've become. The touring machine that we are is Beast. As friends, we're Beast."
Producer Mark Lewis [All That Remains, Trivium] encouraged the band to continue to fighting harder. After an intense series of writing sessions in early 2010, DeviIDriver recorded with Lewis at Sonic Ranch in EI Paso, TX. "Working with Mark Lewis was a great help this time because he envisioned where we were all going with us. He wanted us to step out of the box, and together we did."
Stepping out of the box Iead to "Dead to Rights," which spiIls bIood with every note, building an infectious refrain within the framework of pummeIing polyrhythmic madness. "TaIons Out (Teeth Sharpened)" is an anthemic war cry that drops from shrieking verses into doubIe bass terror, whiIe "Blur" spits punk grit into extreme metaI posturing. This is one Beast that cannot and wiIl not be contained. This Beast is aIive and won't ever die. You have been warned... The speciaI edition incIudes 3 additionaI audio tracks pIus a bonus DVD with a 90-minute documentary covering the band’s entire history and 5 promo videos. |
