DEVILDRIVER recently entered Audiohammer Studios in Sanford, Florida to begin recording its upcoming sixth album for a tentative August 2013 release via Napalm Records.
In a recent interview with Loudwire, DEVILDRIVER frontman Dez Fafara stated about the music direction of the band’s next CD, “Every record is different. That being said, I thought ‘Pray For Villains’ was kind of an out-of-the-box record for us. I thought ‘Beast’ was a weird out-of-the-box record for us. We’ve kind honed back in to where we are. This new record sounds a lot like the first three records. It’s got an intense groove to it, and I’m really happy. The writing is going extremely well. That being said, I think we’ve laid back on our laurels right now and be like, ‘We’re a groove band.’ The fans started calling us ‘the groove machine, The California groove machine.’ Everybody needs a title; we’ll take that one and we’re going to give them that on the new record, for sure.”
DEVILDRIVER‘s fifth album, “Beast”, sold a little over 11,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release to debut at position No. 42 on The Billboard 200 chart.
