Devil Driver Merchandise
DevilDriver (initially called Deathride) is a death metal-influenced groove metal band from Santa Barbara, California. They were dubbed by Phil Anselmo, the former Pantera leadman and current Down lead singer, as the next Pantera. The band are also becoming known for their signature large circle pits, much like Lamb of God’s “Wall of Death”.
The group was started by Dez Fafara and Evan Pitts. Evan saw Dez one morning in a diner in California. The rest of the members were recruited over time. Dez Fafara is the former frontman of the band Coal Chamber, who broke up prior to his term in DevilDriver, for reasons still hotly debated by many to this day. After the demise of Coal Chamber, DevilDriver became his main focus. Their debut album, the self-titled DevilDriver, was released on October 23, 2003 under Roadrunner Records. Dez wanted to focus more on the extreme side of music, influenced by black, death, and thrash metal. This is more apparent on their second album, The Fury of Our Maker’s Hand, where one can hear traces of Scandinavian death metal, specifically with the guitar work.
