DevilDriver
After the dissolution of Coal Chamber, vocalist Dez Fafara formed DevilDriver in Santa Barbara, California in 2002, pursuing a more aggressive direction rooted in groove metal and melodic death metal. Albums like 'The Fury of Our Maker's Hand' and 'The Last Kind Words' showcased a band far heavier than Fafara's nu-metal origins suggested, driven by relentless double-bass drumming and interlocking guitar harmonies. Their ambitious country-metal covers album 'Outlaws 'Til the End' revealed an unexpected creative range.
