DevilDriver announce new album ‘Dealing With Demons Vol. II’
DEVILDRIVER have announced a new album!
Titled Dealing With Demons Vol. II, the upcoming album from the American groove metal band is the follow-up to 2020’s Dealing With Demons Vol. I, and is scheduled to be released in May this year, via Napalm Records.
The upcoming album was produced and engineered by Steve Evetts with additional engineering from guitarist Mike Spreitzer. Speaking about the upcoming album, vocalist Dez Fafara says, “Dealing With Demons Vol. II is – simply put – a conversation in its entirety about Dealing With “Inner” Demons. It’s a conversation in song form between ‘self and a power apart from one’s self, and trying to bury old entities.”
Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band have released a new music video for a new song lifted from the upcoming album; Through The Depths. Speaking about the new song, Fafara says, “Through The Depths is a conversation between a higher power and humans regarding the power of thinking ideas into existence, but being very careful of being arrogant behind those wants and needs. The first lines give this away: ‘Attention attention, you’re seeking, you’ve asked for, it’s given’ (the higher power says). Then the lines of the chorus are that same higher power speaking to humans, saying: ‘through the depths to the ascension, nothing you wouldn’t do for my attention, held to the fire it’s not my crime, you’ve pinned it on me for the last time.’ Meaning – don’t blame the Gods (pin it on them) for your fuck ups. Meaning – put it out there and take steps to attain goals and take accountability. This track is the essence of Dealing With Demons Vol. II, and the conversations within the record get way deeper than even this. Enjoy.”
