For over two decades, DevilDriver have spent forging a sound built on chaos and catharsis. Armed with a brooding, ritualistic intensity and delivered with the kind of conviction only a band at the top of their game can command, they remain an absolute powerhouse in modern heavy metal.
On this episode of the Hear 2 Zen Podcast, we are joined by the legendary frontman himself, Dez Fafara!
Dez dropped in to give us the inside scoop on DevilDriver’s highly anticipated upcoming Australian co-headlining tour with Cradle of Filth this July. But that’s just the tip of the iceberg. In this candid and wide-ranging chat, we dive deep into:
Strike and Kill: A sneak peek into the upcoming album and what fans can expect from the next chapter of DevilDriver.
The Creative Process: Why spontaneity is absolutely crucial when recording vocals to capture raw, authentic emotion.
Trusting the Tribe: Why Dez is letting his bandmates take the reins to choose the setlist for these upcoming shows.
Behind the Lens: His experience directing the brutal new music video for “Dig Your Own Grave.”
Band Pride: The immense pride he shares for his current band members and their collective growth.
Off the Stage: Why Maine Coons are hands-down the best cats on the planet, and his meaningful philanthropic endeavors with The Freemasons.
