Devildriver frontman interviewed by Metalholic.com, Audio Available!

Devildriver frontman interviewed by Metalholic.com, Audio Available!

On January 8, Rustyn Rose of Metalholic.com conducted an interview with vocalist Dez Fafara of Santa Barbara, California metallers Devildriver. The chat is now available for streaming in three parts below.

In a recent interview with Metal As Fuck, Fafara stated about the band's plans for its next studio album, "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."

Regarding how the band's last album, "Pray for Villains", was received by the fans and the press, Fafara said, "It's been really well received all over the world at this point and we appreciate all the support we've received so far."

He added, "I never have any expectations or perceptions when it comes to [our] art; I just do art for the sake of doing art. I knew that we were stretching the boundaries and growing our sound a little bit — I knew we were going to give [our fans] something with a bit of growth and they were anticipating it. We feel very strongly that we made the right move with our music. As for how it was going to be received or perceived, I'm not that kind of guy. I'm doing it for the love of music, really."

According to a recent online post by Devildriver bassist Jon Miller, the California metallers have six songs "in the bag" for the group's forthcoming album, which they "are looking to record sooner than later." He added, "We want to go faster and heavier on this one to answer any question on a 'direction' that we may be undertaking."

Devildriver drummer John Boecklin elaborated further on the status of the songwriting sessions for the band's next CD. Writing on the group's official MySpace blog, Boecklin stated, “On our last record, I would say we stretched as far as we could outside of what we had done in the past, trying new and slower songs with vocal melody like “It's In The Cards” or the rock like feel of songs like “Back With A Vengeance” and "Teach Me To Whispe”. For our latest effort, we feel like musically going for the throat, so to speak.”

“Are we gonna make a death metal album? No! We always have a heavy emphasis on groove and hook. That will not change. We just feel we have a certain anger edge about us and the songs we are writing compared to our last one. It will not be rushed and if you are a fan, you will not be let down!!”

Devildriver's latest CD, "Pray For Villains", sold around 14,600 copies in the United States in its first week of release to debut at position No. 35 on The Billboard 200 chart.
