Dez on “Dead in the Water”:
“This is one of the most positive songs I’ve ever written lyrically, coming from a very dark time straight into blinding light. I needed to empower others to do the same as I did, and tell them to ‘stay the course,’ life turns around if given the chance to flourish. The vibe musically on this is very old school DEVILDRIVER and the entire band is cracking hard here, if you’re a long time listener you’re gonna love this one! Enjoy!”

About the track, band mastermind Dez Fafara states:
“‘Dig Your Own Grave’ is about how one wrong decision, one wrong move can see your whole world turned upside down, effectively ‘digging’ your own grave… it’s that simple.
“It can also refer to how your decisions can fuck someone else. This is why there’s the line ‘six feet ain’t deep enough for you’, because only a deep, deep hole is fitting for what you’ve done or tried to do to others. Be careful when you choose to make decisions at midnight.”
GROOVE METAL LEGENDS DEVILDRIVER TEACH HARD LESSONS ON VICIOUS TITLE TRACK — WATCH
NEW ALBUM, STRIKE TO KILL, OUT FRIDAY VIA NAPALM RECORDS — PRE-ORDER
“We’ll see how long you last…”
Following frontman Dez Fafara‘s recent takeover of SXM’s Liquid Metal, DEVILDRIVER‘s campaign of carnage continues with the release of the blood-soaked title track off their explosive new record Strike and Kill, out this Friday via Napalm Records. Easily one of the most vicious tracks on the album, the band gleefully hurls listeners through a pulverizing blend of maximalist virtuosity and bone crushing slam riffage. Melodeath, slam, groove, and thrash, everything that the band has built their lasting legacy on emerges in vibrant shades of red: A soundtrack to the slaughter.
About the track, frontman Dez Fafara states:
“‘Strike and Kill’ is a song about individuals that have to learn lessons the hard way. Sometimes in life, you need to learn things the hard way in order to make your next decision or next move properly. Beware the moves you make at midnight behind emotion and without any thought of consequence. For you will learn lessons, and they will be taught to you the hard way.”
DEVILDRIVER have been on a menacing mission since first announcing Strike and Kill, with both lead singles dominating the Metal Contraband charts, spinning frequently on SXM’s Liquid Metal (hitting Number 2 on the “Devil’s Dozen”), effectively quenching the bloodthirst of their longstanding devotees, who have proclaimed it a glorious return to form for the California groove metal legends. Honoring the album’s title, DEVILDRIVER remains tactically vicious, and uncompromisingly brutal.
Check Out The Official Music Video for “Strike and Kill” HERE.
Wasting no time, the album bursts open with the incendiary “Dig Your Own Grave,” a flurry of assault rifle kicks and crunchy riffs encircle the listener casting them into the waiting abyss before transitioning into “Dead in the Water,” showcasing the vibrant melodeath tapestries of master guitar duo Alex Lee and Gabe Mangold. “Sanctified In Scars” implements industrial pulsating beats and ethereal sonic textures, sanctifying Fafara’s venomous voice with blackened tremolo excellence. The album’s title track “Strike and Kill” is a reconciliation of hardships and lessons learned, built upon the backs of blisteringly technical riffage and dizzyingly swift drumming by Davier Perez. Tracks like “In the Moonlight” and “Never Coming Home” wrap listeners in serenely blissful guitarmonies, elevating the brutality with elegance and emotion. “Ride or Die” unleashes pure metal inertia, pulling listeners in with unrelenting force. Exemplifying their technical edge with tracks like “Headed for the Fall” and “You’re just a Ghost,” the band embraces mind-bendingly off-kilter patterns that spin listeners’ heads. “Summoning Shadows” offers the albums longest respite from carnage, with textured acoustic guitars building tension before the band comes crashing back in with triumphant power. “Shut the Silence On” and “Oath of Iron” get super thrashy with their ballsy riffage and blast beats, before “All Bets are Off” brings things to a cataclysmic conclusion.
