Album:Quintessential dark groove metal innovators DEVILDRIVER have returned at the dawn of a new decade to deliver fans their most electrifying and introspective collection of anthems yet - Dealing With Demons I - part one of a hard-hitting double album that will have metalheads everywhere ushering in a new era! DEVILDRIVER showcase just what has made them one of the top metal artists in the game with 10 unforgettably vehement, yet melodic stunners that not only offer a new mindset of aggression and potency for the band, but also a pensive deep dive into the psyche of frontman Dez Fafara as he navigated some of the most difficult and tumultuous waters of his family life. Introductory track and first single "Keep Away From Me" traipses cryptically through an ominous passage before setting ablaze as an anthem of isolation and growth - setting the stage for the grimness that's to come with a battering storm of pummeling drums and devastatingly heavy guitar pulses. This is followed by "Vengeance is Clear", a fortification of dark groove metal that entices the listener with a twisting rhythmic attack and an undeniable two-stepping bridge. Tracks like "Nest of Vipers" and title track "Dealing With Demons" hark back to the classic DEVILDRIVER sound with chugging, melodic riffage, while standout songs such as "Iona" and "Witches" command with story-like lyricism, indelible swagger and hair-raising leads. The haunting track "Wishing" explores new territory, showcasing Dez Fafara's evocative clean vocal delivery for the very first time in the band's acclaimed history. Each track showcases a different facet of a band that continues to transform through time, preserving their top tier status with each note. On Dealing With Demons I, DEVILDRIVER prove that they still reign supreme among metal's all-time greats, leaving the listener craving what's to come on Dealing With Demons II.Single Blurb #1 - Keep Away From Me:Dealing With Demons I introductory track and first single "Keep Away From Me" traipses cryptically through a

Demons!
This was a very emotive album for me, I had Demons to deal with, and this album helped me with those Demons, and how to deal with them face on, yes the music is heavy and the voice is harsh, but the album always gives that little bit of hope, it is very heavy, but very emotive, it is in my mind a struggle, which is shown through the music, sorry I can't be more upbeat!

Not the Devildriver I was hoping for.
Ever since the line up change after Winter Kills, I have not rated much of what Devildriver is putting out. And this album is no different.It doesnt have the same flare, groove or anything which old Devildriver made me excited about. Abit bland, too complex and not flowing at times. I just dont rate it.Small redeemers in the songs 'Wishing' which provides a nice change of pace and reminds me much more of old DD - and Venegance is Clear.

Dez Fafara's BEST WORK EVER
OMGracious, I was late getting this album, which made me miss critical time I COULD HAVE BEEN LISTENING to Dealing With Demons, Volume One. This is a collection of Dez's emotions and thoughts derived from life's experiences. It is a rare introspective look into this man's psyche. HOW the metal, the music that accompanies these lyrics, is the best damn brand of hardcore, groove-death metal out there I do not know. It's what I LIKE. THIS IS MY STYLE OF METAL. MY BRAND. God, it's good. Thanks DEZ!!

Deal or no deal? - DEAL
Das neunte Studioalbum der kalifornischen Metalband DevilDriver ist da. Nach dem letzten Album, auf dem Country und Metal verschmolzen wurden, war ich wirklich gespannt, denn „Outlaws ‘Til the End, Vol. 1“ hat mich trotz meiner Vorliebe für Outlaw-Country und Americana nicht überzeugt.Die Band groovt und rifft wie gewohnt. Das neue Album hat meine Hoffnungen auf ein normales Album nicht enttäuscht und kann damit nahtlos an die vergangenen Alben anknüpfen, ohne langweilig zu werden. Nach dem ersten Durchlauf muss man noch einige Male genauer hinhören, um die feinsten Finessen des Songwritings und Mixens weiter herauszuhören, aber bisher überzeugt das Album mit gewohnt gutem Songwriting und einem druckvollen ausgewogenen Sound. Eine genaue Analyse der Songs lasse ich nun weg, da man sich die Lieder lieber anhören und vor allem ordentlich in die Tiefe reinhören sollte.Man darf dann auf die beiden als folgende Alben angekündigten Tonträger gespannt sein, bevor Fafara seine angekündigte Pause nehmen will. „Dealing With Demons Part 1“ wird mich sicherlich noch die nächsten Wochen auf Dauerrotation begleiten.

Brutal and Melodic Return to Form
First and foremost, I am a huge fan of Devildriver and have been following them since the first album. The last few non-cover albums have seemed a bit phoned in. I became excited again after hearing their awesome country covers album. With Dealing with Demons, it feels like a band renewed. The album is short, brutal, and concise. Maybe it was the Coal Chamber reunion, but this album also incorporates a lot of melody and some cleaner vocals. Its the best album they have put out in a decade and I am definitely excited for vol. 2.
