DEVILDRIVER Confirm Producer For New Album Due Next Year
April 29, 2010, 14 years ago
Santa Barbara, California metallers DEVILDRIVER have recruited producer Mark Lewis (TRIVIUM, CHIMAIRA, ALL THAT REMAINS) to helm their new album, tentatively due in early 2011. Frontman Dez Fafara describes the work in progress as "intense" and "full of raw emotion."
In an interview with Metal As Fuck late last year, Fafara commented on the band's plans for its next studio album, saying, "Record five with this band, and I've said it before, even with record five, six, seven, eight and nine, will continue to get better. Not a lot of bands can say that and not a lot of bands have done that. Most bands, by the time they've done that amount of records, they're either over it or they're not giving you the anticipation of the record release that they should. But we want to keep DevilDriver fans on their feet. So every two years we're going to release a record and just continue to tour like we do, and we're booked until May 2012. Then we're going to take about six months off. That'll be the most time I've had off in about fourteen years."
