A new Devildriver album is tentatively scheduled for a release in 2013 - get ready for a merciless rampage of monstrous grooves and brutal riffs!

Frontman Dez Fafara comments: "I am proud to announce Devildriver's new partnership with Napalm Records! They have the passion and the drive we as a band were looking for! I'm looking forward to working together on Devildriver's next release! Hail the groove!"

Markus Riedler (Napalm Records CEO) comments: "We are extremely excited to have this outstanding band on our label roster. Devildriver are a true metal monster full of primal energy and more than ready to conquer the world with their upcoming album that will be released in the fall of 2013. Join the metal brotherhood and get ready for the world's largest circle pit!"

This whole article is like putting them up on a pedestal. It's groove metal for Christ's sake.. Pantera did this shit to death 15 years ago.. album will probably be average.

These guys never change their sound. Every album supposedly "blows away" the last. But sadly they all just "blow".

i love these guys, but they should've went with labels like century media or metal blade, napalm records isn't and never will be a big deal, i love devildriver and all their music, and i can't wait for this new album, but this move wasn't really a smart one. oh well, congrats anyways, i guess.
