Devildriver Issues Tour Road Report

"What's up people?!? This tour is coming to an end. We played our last show with Slipknot two days ago and celebrated by partying our asses off. Especially myself, from what I can remember. We have two shows left until we go home for about two weeks. Then its off to Europe for a month.
"This has been a really great tour. Its a lot of fun to mix the shows up. One day we were playing an arena, the next day we were playing a club. I had a lot of fun with the other bands. Slipknot, All That Remains and 3 Inches of Blood. It wasn't our first time touring with any of these guys so we were all well aquatinted with one another. Made things a little bit more interesting if you know what I mean. Boozing!!!"

Devildriver Reveals "Pray For Villains" Artwork
Devildriver has revealed the cover artwork for their upcoming album "Pray For Villains," which can be viewed here.
Dez Fafara issued the following statement about the artwork:
"The 'Pray For Villains' Artwork is based on the title track on the record. The chorus goes 'They Pray For Villains when their heroes let them down.' The concept of the Villain saving the day - when all else fails you turn your eyes towards the badass that gets the job done. Not the clean cut guy - often big talking, slow acting, lacking in spirit and conviction! I needed something graphic to tie into the hero/villain idea.
"I personally have been collecting Owls for some time and the Owl in many different cultures is seen as both the hero and villain. In Ireland an Owl that enters a house must be killed at once, for if it flies away it will takes the luck of the house with it. In Australia, Aborigines believe bats represent the souls of men and Owls the souls of woman. Owls are therefore sacred in their culture because your sister is an Owl and the Owl is your sister.
"For the Aztecs, one of their evil gods wore a screech Owl on his head and in the Celtic culture, the Owl is the sign of the Underworld. So, the OWL was the obvious choice as I wanted to feel as connected to the artwork as I do to the music and also give DevilDriver another icon to work with and even further define us a band!
"So we bring you PRAY FOR VILLAINS"
