DevilDriver's unrelenting tempest of pounding machine gun drums and six-string sorcery is more than enough to send even the most wicked demons running scared—if that's what the infernal Santa Barbara group wanted. Instead, they conjure doom-ridden darkness with brawny, melody-heavy death metal punctuated by spine-tingling lyrics. Armed with an arsenal of earthshaking ragers influenced by everything from classic thrash to ‘90s nu-metal, DevilDriver are just as likely to be the war cry for evil forces as they are to terrify them into retreat.
