DevilDriver Premiere Cover Of Hank 3’s “Country Heroes” - Hank 3 Guests

DevilDriver debut their take on Hank 3‘s “Country Heroes“, featuring a guest appearance from Hank3 himself. The track comes from DevilDriver‘s forthcoming country covers album, “Outlaws ‘Til The End: Vol. 1“ and will hit stores on July 06th through Napalm Records. Said covers album will feature also cameos from members of Lamb Of God, Fear Factory, 36 Crazyfists and more.

DevilDriver frontman Dez Fafara commented of this rendition of “Country Heroes“:

“This record would not have meant as much to me without having Hank 3 on board. He is one of the most authentic and real outlaw country artists out there right now. I chose to record ‘Country Heroes‘ because the lyrics are extremely well-written, and using the names of all the outlaws within the song really does the song justice. ‘I’m drinking some George Jones and little bit a Coe…’ etc., that is genius writing from Hank 3 and should be recognized as such.

I’ve heard this song as ‘heavy’ in my head for a very long time, so to re-track it and have Hank 3 appear only to sing almost Ozzy-ish is just an over the top treat to the ears! Enjoy”
