"Pray for villains" CD by DevilDriver

by Thomas Clausen (24.07.2009) Ex-Coal Chamber-/ Devildriver front man Dez Fafara promised us an unholy Extreme Metal juggernaut during the promotional phase before the fourth release of Santa Barbara’s heaviest... Make a promise, keep a promise: he has been right. Produced by Logan Mader (ex-Machine Head, ex-Soulfly), those 13 killers like "Resurrection blvd", "Forgiveness is a six gun", or "Teach me to whisper", just to mention a few, don’t make any prisoners. Tough, atmospheric, and drenched in ominous darkness, this album absorbs every single ray of sun and turns it to ashes! "Pray for villains" should be your first choice if you want something exciting far from "normal" heavy sounds. Or, in Fafara’s own words: "They pray for villains when their heroes let them down." This is as good as it gets - a glittering highlight.
