Album Notes DevilDriver: Dez Fafara (vocals); Mike Spreitzer, Jeff Kendrick (guitar); Jon Miller (bass guitar); John Boecklin (drums). Recording information: Sonic Ranch Studios, Tornillo, Texas (2005). Former Coal Chamber vocalist Dez Fafara reportedly formed Devil Driver with the intention of making music that was darker, heavier, and more traditionally metal-sounding than anything explored by his former band. THE FURY OF OUR MAKER'S HAND accomplishes this task in spades, delivering a stark, single-mindedly aggressive maelstrom of sound. Propelled by John Boeklin's seemingly inhuman double bass drumming, Devil Driver delivers a thick wall of machine-gun guitar rhythms underneath Fafara's often surprisingly comprehensible death-metal-style howls. "Grinf**ked" opens with a melody that's more Ministry than Metallica and quickly descends into intensely spooky black metal madness that recalls the NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET score. Similarly, "Sin & Sacrifice" uses lush ambience (somewhat reminiscent of MOVING PICTURES-era Rush) to draw the listener in before unleashing an unholy sonic onslaught. A truly Satanic-sounding effort, THE FURY OF OUR MAKER'S HAND should endear Devil Driver to fans of dramatic, extreme metal.
