The show will be available for streaming for seven days after the initial broadcast at this location.
According to a new online post by DevilDriver bassist Jon Miller, the Santa Barbara, California-based metallers have six songs “in the bag” for the group’s forthcoming album, which they “are looking to record sooner than later.” He added, “We want to go faster and heavier on this one to answer any question on a ‘direction’ that we may be undertaking.”
DevilDriver drummer John Boecklin elaborated further on the status of the songwriting sessions for the band’s next CD. Writing on the group’s official MySpace blog, Boecklin stated, “On our last record, I would say we stretched as far as we could outside of what we had done in the past, trying new and slower songs with vocal melody like ‘It’s In The Cards’ or the rock like feel of songs like ‘Back With A Vengeance’ and ‘Teach Me To Whisper’. For our latest effort, we feel like musically going for the throat, so to speak.
“Are we gonna make a death metal album? No! We always have a heavy emphasis on groove and hook. That will not change. We just feel we have a certain anger edge about us and the songs we are writing compared to our last one. It will not be rushed and if you are a fan, you will not be let down!!”
