DEVILDRIVER Frontman Says New CD Is 'Totally Balls-Out'

May 25, 2007

DEVILDRIVER frontman Dez Fafara (ex-COAL CHAMBER) recently spoke to MTV.com about the group's third album, "The Last Kind Words" (cover),due on July 31 via Roadrunner Records.

"The 'last kind words' could be 'f--- you' before complete annihilation," Fafara said. "For me, this album is about being motivated to stand up to the punishment of being a human and to have the character in you to go on when all people want to do is hold you down."

"Lyrically, it's dark and foreboding," Fafara added. "But it's gonna give you inspiration to go through this earthly experience and keep kicking."

"I think we knew we had to reach within ourselves as a team and pull something out that was really different. Everyone totally put aside their egos and stepped up to the plate to do what needed to be done. In America right now, there's so much of that sing-songy metal going on, so we knew if we did something totally balls-out it was going to be well-received."
