DevilDriver have recruited Andy Sneap (Megadeth, Opeth) to helm the mixes for their new album which they recently wrapped up tracking with producer Mark Lewis. Mixing sessions are scheduled to take place next month.
Speaking on the effort, band drummer John Boecklin offered the following:
“…It’s got beef. It’s interesting to me, it’s not the fastest shit we have done, nor the slowest, just lots of groove. But to me, when people say “it’s got groove”, I think its a nice way of saying simple and boring these days. We wanted to avoid this. Our record has a great contrast of dark riffs, stomp bouncing drums with the right amount of blasts and double bass, and outstanding vocal delivery from Dez that takes it past your average approach of the metal attempt. I’m not talking about reinventing the wheel or nothing. I just think our new album sits in it’s own corner from any of our other albums”
