DevilDriver – Pray For Villains Review

No one can ever get enough of devil drivers pure raw riffage mad ass drums and Dez screaming his lungs out. Let’s get to the point, pray for villains is one hell of a release I can’t deny it, I listened to every track on the record over and over again so that when I tell you its not them you cant attack me.

They are taking a totally new approach (aka the Shogun Breed) that drifts miles away from what they started. I’m not saying its not good or its not amazing or its not totally fucking brutal, Its brutal beyond your imagination but like I said comparing it to DevilDriver (2003) and The Fury Of Our Makers Hand (2005) its gutturally different. The thing that sucked me in the most was the drumming. There drummer stepped it up big time ,every track has a perfect drum line layered on it and recorded in uber quality. I cant say enough about the drums in this recorded It needs a blog of its own.


Was listening to a track with Iroar and at some point of the song Iroar was like are you sure this is devil driver not trivium. They are taking the whole ultra melodic approach with a bit of thrashy kick ass riffs. Personally I love the recorded but I expected more from everyone in the band except for the drummer, he went beyond my expectations. My personal favorite is Back With A Vengeance you’ll be banging your head till your die and probably disco dancing to it to.


Crap I almost forgot did you guys hear DevilDrivers lead guitarist bought a new Wah Wah pedal and hes annoyingly using it in ever track on the record. If you’re a fan of there old shit your going to be a abit disappointed and at the same time your going to worship the record. For new devil driver listeners you’re going to get knocked out. Dez is still doing his thing on every track, I noticed he’s been trying to experiment a little but not to much, on the other hand I got a wah wah overdose.

Devil Driver are still doing there thing but in a different way ( Shougany way) id give them a 7.7/10

But if i am to compare it to there old stuff id give it a 3/10
