DEVILDRIVER / COAL CHAMBER frontman Dez Fafara is featured in a new interview with Radio Metal. An excerpt is available below:

Q: DevilDriver has recently recorded a cover of the song 'Holier Than Thou' on the tribute album for METALLICA’s Black Album. What does this Metallica album represent for you ?

Dez: "Early Metallica especially is a lot of our favorite music. It’s some of my favorite stuff. Ride The Lightning is one of my favorite records of all time. To cover something from a Metallica record, to be given the opportunity by the record label to go in the studio and do that was great. It’s fun to step outside yourself and we did a great job and the people are really coming to the table with positive responses so we’re grateful for the record company for giving us the money to do it and I think the band did a wonderful job."

Q: You’ve just said that Metallica is one of your favorite bands, so I have to ask: what do you think about Metallica’s collaboration with Lou Reed?

Dez: "I haven’t heard it. I’m not really a fan of new Metallica. I’m a fan of old Metallica."

Q: It has been announced that you will be on the next SOULFLY album as a guest. What can you tell us about this collaboration, who got this idea?

Dez: "Working with Max Cavalera is just a pleasure. He’s a great guy. I’ve known him for years, I’ve known his family for years, I love him and his children and his wife, they’re great people. I have a lot of admiration for him. I’m a huge Sepultura fan as well as a Soulfly fan. I was in Arizona, he called me, he said 'I have a song, let’s do it,' and we’ve been together for about 5 hours, we wrote a song from start to finish on vocals together and I actually finished the whole thing. It was amazing working with him."
