DEVILDRIVER Reveals “Copperhead Road” Cover Featuring 36 CRAZYFISTS’ Brock Lindow

DevilDriver will release their full-length album of outlaw country-gone-metal anthems, Outlaws 'Til The End, via Napalm Records on July 6th, and pre-orders are available now in multiple formats here. Merch bundles are also available via the official store. Additional merchandise such as t-shirts, long-sleeve shirts, flasks, keychains, and more are also available here.

After dropping their potent cover of outlaw classic "Ghost Riders in the Sky", Devildriver are following up with yet another track cut from Outlaws 'Til The End: Vol. 1, entitled "Copperhead Road", featuring 36 Crazyfists vocalist Brock Lindow.

Devildriver frontman Dez Fafara says, "I have always loved this story of running moonshine and running from the cops, and having Brock on this song was a smart move as his unique voice is absolutely perfect for it. I'm proud to have him on this record!"
 
Track guest Brock Lindow of 36 Crazyfists adds, "I'm grateful to be included in the barnburner that is Outlaws 'Til The End: Vol. 1! 'Copperhead Road' was always a heavy song with a great story that encompasses all things 'outlaw', but Devildriver ups the ante on this one and puts the pedal to Metal with their vision of the legendary jam. It was a tremendous honor to sing with Dez and the boys on this monster record!"

Outlaws 'Til The End is both a startling curveball and a ferocious statement of individuality from a band who have been a constant and effective force in the heavy metal world for the best part of two decades now. "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," Fafara explains. "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."
