Following their recent festival performances, DevilDriver have welcomed guitarist Gabe Mangold as their newest member. Mangold is known for his work in several other outfits, including Enterprise Earth, Dead Icarus and The Beauty & The Horror. DevilDriver vocalist Dez Fafara officially welcomed Mangold into the fold yesterday, October 08th, issuing the following statement:
“There’s not enough I can say about Gabe both as a person & SHREDDING guitar player! We have so many things to post but this post is about all of you giving him a warm DD welcome! Gabe came into my life at a pretty Dark time late last year and we’ve become close, his skills on guitar,his humble attitude and down to earth nature is the hallmark of a “good human” …. To have both him and Alex Lee playing together with me makes up the most powerful unit I think we’ve ever had …Wait til you HEAR what’s coming! #thecaliforniagroovemachine”
Mangold‘s addition to the roster follows the 2024 departure of Mike Spreitzer.
