Devildriver's Sophomore Album, The Fury of Our Maker’s Hand, Charts at #117

The Fury of Our Maker’s Hand, the sophomore album from DevilDriver has debuted at No. 1 on the Heatseeker’s chart with 10,353 albums sold. Called a “mad masterpiece” by Revolver Magazine, the album also debuted at No. 117 on the Top 200 album charts and No. 17 on the Top Hard Rock chart. Says singer Dez Fafara, “we’re really excited about this album. We’re out here working, touring non-stop and we appreciate the fans support.” Currently the band is on the inaugural Sounds of the Underground Tour with Chimaira, Opeth, Lamb of God and others.

The follow up to 2003’s self-titled debut, The Fury of Our Maker’s Hand is a powerful return for DevilDriver. Featuring twelve blistering tracks that dabble in black, thrash, traditional and death metal, The Fury of Our Maker’s Hand is DevilDriver at their best. The album soared to No. 1 on the Metal/College Radio and Specialty charts while the video for the single “Hold Back The Day” has received repeated spins on MTV2 and FUSE. “This album was a labor of love for us,” says Fafara. “We came together as a cohesive unit and created the strongest albums I’ve been a part of. We didn’t worry about what we should sound like, just what we wanted to sound like.” For the creation of the album every member strapped on a guitar, plugged in and wrote the album riff by riff, together. Through those sessions, songs such as “End of the Line,” “Sin and Sacrifice” and “Driving Down the Darkness” poured out.

Curious. I liked the first Coal Chamber record, and I've heard a few tracks from DD's debut that were pretty good. May be getting this one soon.

Wow! Turn this badass album LOUD! This album makes my skin tingle. Best metal album you can buy right now, hands down. Bow to Devildriver, for they will melt your skin off. Absolutely sick from start to finish.
