DEVILDRIVER TO CO-HEADLINE OZZFEST SECOND STAGE!!! CELEBRATED NEW ALBUM “THE LAST KIND WORDS” DEBUTS!!!
In an unprecedented move by Ozzfest organizers, DevilDriver have been added mid-tour to fill in for Mondo Generator, who left the tour earlier this month. The band takes over the third co-headlining slot on the Second Stage, alongside Hatebreed and Behemoth! DevilDriver will play on all remaining Ozzfest dates this summer. The band has also cancelled its previously-announced US tour with God Forbid.
Frontman Dez Fafara had this to say about the band’s addition to Ozzfest: “DevilDriver would like to thank Sharon, Ozzy, and the whole camp for thinking about us when a slot opened up. We’ve been having a great time, and the crowds have been killer. Thank you everybody for your support. We’re gonna bring the devastation all summer!”
In addition to their just-announced Ozzfest dates, DevilDriver’s brand-new CD, “The Last Kind Words” recently hit streets! Already having generated major buzz overseas, the album is set to explode across America.
Kerrang! calls the album, “quite simply metal as fuck…As vicious as it is anthemic, every track is certain to send pits into apoplexy the world over.” Alternative Press gave “The Last Kind Words” 4 out of 5 stars and says DevilDriver’s “intensity level reaches previously untapped heights.”
DevilDriver has toiled endlessly to create a metallic masterpiece, partnering up with producer Jason Suecof (Trivum, God Forbid, Chimaira) to hone in on the essence of the band’s growing brutality. Marking their third Roadrunner release, “The Last Kind Words” focuses on structures and arrangement, painting a sinister yet palatable picture.
