DevilDriver

Dez Fafara, lead singer of the band Coal Chamber, left his bandmates to form his own groove metal and melodic death metal project, Deathride, in 2002. Forced to change the name due to another band with the same name, he chose DevilDriver—a reference to an obscure religious ritual—and recorded a self-titled debut album released the following year. In 2004, the band—which recorded The Fury of Our Maker’s Hand (2005)—underwent a lineup change with the addition of guitarist Mike Spreltzer, who would be the only original member to remain after the albums The Last Kind Words (2007), Pray for Villains (2009), *Beast* (2011), and *Winter Kills* (2013). In 2015, a second guitarist and a drummer joined the duo for the recording sessions of *Trust No One* (2016), followed two years later by *Outlaws 'Til the End: Vol. 1*. Following the release of the two-part series Dealing with Demons I (2020) / Dealing with Demons, Vol. II (2023), DevilDriver made a strong comeback in 2026 with Strike and Kill.
