By admin • May 15, 2007

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.

'The Last Kind Words' is set for release on July 31, 2007 and features 11 tracks of annihilating progression. "We wanted to do something that was different than we did on the first two records, and would stand out," frontman Dez Fafara declares. 'The Last Kind Words' stands out and above, capturing DevilDriver's unique fusion. The forthcoming album was mixed by famed producer, Andy Sneap (Opeth, Exodus, As I Lay Dying, Megadeth), at Backstage Recording Studios in England. The band is also slated to film a music video for their first single, "Not All Who Wander Are Lost."

'The Last Kind Words' track listing:

1. Not All Who Wander Are Lost
2. Clouds Over California
3. Bound By The Moon
4. Horn Of Betrayal
5. These Fighting Words
6. Head On To Heartache (Let Them Rot)
7. Burning Sermon
8. Monsters of the Deep
9. Tirades of Truth
10. When Summoned
11. The Axe Shall Fall
