DEVILDRIVER
http://www.metalupdate.com/interviewdevil.html
The creation of Dez Fafara, DevilDriver was born to tread decidedly
murkier waters than his former band Coal Chamber dared. From the
annihilation of "Nothing's Wrong?" to the groove-laden "Devil's Son", the
band's self-titled debut mixes a concoction of death metal, black metal,
speed and thrash that comes as a surprise to anyone familiar with Dez's
resume. In this interview, Dez talks about his philosophies on life, his
former band and his plans for a heavier future with DevilDriver.
