DevilDriver release new music video for ‘Iona’

DEVILDRIVER have released a new music video!

The new music video, for the track Iona, is taken from the band’s upcoming new album, Dealing With Demons I, which is scheduled to be released in October. The upcoming album will be the first of an upcoming twin album project.

Speaking about the new song, frontman Dez Fafara says, “Iona is unlike any other DEVILDRIVER song we’ve put out. From the frantic verses to the haunting chorus, this song is another move forward to push our sound and the listener’s ears into the fray! The chorus, “she carries a black rose, effigy from a story closed”, tells the story of the long dead ghost of Iona and her obsession with death represented by the black roses in her hands – each one the soul of someone she’s taken from this life on a lonely dark road, assimilating their souls into black roses, which she carries for eternity. This theme relates to myself and Dealing With Demons in that, often times, we as people have a hard time “letting go” of things. This can be applied to relationships, death, and so on. Iona carrying the black roses symbolizes her inability to move on – always seeking revenge. The past is exactly that – the past – it’s important to let go and not be stuck in a perpetual loop of living in it.”

Dealing With Demons I is set for release on October 9th via Napalm Records. Pre-orders are available now and can be purchased here.
