DevilDriver - Clouds Over California : The Studio Albums 2003 - 2011
Few musicians manage to make a worldwide impact with their music. Fewer still manage to pull that trick off twice - but Dez Fafara, the leader of DevilDriver, is one of this elite number. Formed in Santa Barbara, CA in 2002 when vocalist & frontman Dez Fafara`s previous band Coal Chamber were winding down, the five piece have since become a constant and dynamic force in the metal world over the best part of the last two decades. Now this deluxe collection of their first five albums entitled 'Clouds Over California` documents their meteoric rise and is available in deluxe splatter LP.
DevilDriver`s first, self-titled album 'DevilDriver` had established a successful, groove-heavy precedent on its release in 2003 - but when the Californian quintet got together to compose material for the follow-up album two years later, their music had evolved to an unexpected degree, the result was 'The Fury Of Our Makers Hand`. 2007`s 'The Last Kind Words` was recorded as the, then DevilDriver line-up reached the apogee of its powers, ranging from mercilessly fast extreme metal, to subtler, slower territory and all points between. When 'Pray For Villains` was recorded and released in 2009 the album was a deliberate attempt by DevilDriver to step back a little, inject some textures into the songs and allow the music to breathe, while still staying true to their sound. Their fifth album, 2011`s 'Beast` made a clear statement of intent. It`s predecessor was deliberately more introspective so the intention was to amp everything up tenfold this time by getting visceral and violent again.
