DevilDriver's Jon Miller Comments On Recent And Upcoming Tour Dates

posted Jul 22, 2010 at 9:16 PM by xFiruath.  (6 Comments)

DevilDriver bassist Jon Miller has checked in with the following new road report:

"Hi, everyone. This is Miller. I am back in Santa Barbara after returning home a week early from the end of DevilDriver's 2010 European summer tour. I want to thank our guitar tech, Dave Burke and tour manager, Bubble for saving the day at the last minute and playing bass for me.

"Unfortunately, I had pressing medical issue that needed immediate attention. I am feeling much better now and am beyond stoked to be a part of this year's Ozzfest. We are doing a U.S. run with Kittie, Kataklysm and Hostility immediately after the Ozzfest dates and am looking forward to finishing up the Pray For Villains touring cycle so that DD can start focusing on starting 2011 with our 5th, and i must say, burliest record to date. This is the album that I have been waiting to show DD fans what we do best. It is not a nice sounding record. It is not happy or friendly. It's dark. It's wicked. It's pissed. Its also getting mixed right now and hopefully DD fans will get to hear a new track by the early fall. More to come on the new record soon.

"I hope everyone is enjoying the DevilDriver documentary. It has been a long time in the making. We will keep you updated on more DD news and I look forward to seeing all the fans when we hit the road next month!"

What's Next?

The "burliest" record to date, huh?

So this is in addition to the whole "king kong throwing acid-covered cinderblocks" thing?

So... does that make this album as heavy as.... the burliest king kong to date?

I'm confused. :-P

Dez, IMO, is really boring and predictable. I liked their self titled LP but haven't maintained interest in more than a single or two since then...regardless...I'll still check this one out when it drops.
