The Alternative-Metal Death-Metal quintet DevilDriver came to life in 2002 in Santa Barbara, California USA, fronted by the charismatic vocalist Dez Fafara; a veteran of the NuMetal movement, Fafara has been toiling in the trenches of the music industry since 1994 with his previous band Cold Chamber. Originally signed to Roadrunner Records, the group also featured guitarists Jeffrey Kendrick and Evans Pitts, bassist Jon Miller and drummer John Boecklin. It's been a constant uptick for the Southern California quintet since they first blasted a hole through the zeitgeist in 2003 with their pivotal self-titled debut. Their second solid effort, "The Fury Of Our Maker's Hand", arrived in June 2005, following the replacement of Evans Pitts with new guitarist Mike Spreitzer. The album reached the #117 position on The Billboard 200. Two years later DevilDriver released "The Last Kind Words" and continued breaking the mold in the studio and on stage; for instance their appearance at Download 2007 arguably generated the biggest circle pit in history. The band's third album ended up peaking at the #48 spot on The Billboard Top 200 chart. Produced by former Machine Head guitarist Logan Mader, the next offering, "Pray For Villains", found DevilDriver rocking as brutally as ever; in July 2009 the album debuted at #35 on The Billboard 200 even surpassing first-week sales of the band's previous outing. DevilDriver tear their way through Heavy-Metal again with "Beast", the band's fifth album; featuring the single "Dead To Rights", the disc arrived in February 2011 and reached #42 on Billboard's Top 200 Albums chart.

Was not the reissue!
I love the album but this version is supposed to be the reissue version I ordered it but I was given the standard version without the additional songs I have been reimbursed but overall disappointed because sellers failed to confirm the copy that they are selling and it's not all on them though Amazon also needs to update their system when putting in the code for which version it is so pretty much it's a gamble I now have a extra copy that I didn't need it was a waste of time I might try to purchase again in Hope's I get the right copy so good luck when purchasing this version if you're in it for the bonus songs!

Warped and sleeves torn
I've now received this twice and both times I got warped records. The replacement set even had torn inner sleeves.

"Lead Drums"
I don't know if I've ever heard a metal CD where the drums are mixed OVER the guitars. It is headache-inducing. Doesn't help that this drummer is completely out of control. He makes Neil Peart sound subtle. I suppose if you're a big fan of thrash and over-the-top showboating drums... The producer actually takes credit for mixing this mess!

Eines der besten Alben
Meiner Meinung nach eines der besten und brachialsten Alben, die diese Band je rausgebracht hat. Von melodisch bis dreckig bis dunkel und düster wird hiet kein Wunsch offen gelassen. Einfach klasse um in anderen Sphären zu schweben.

Dreck...
Unglaublich schlechte Soundqualität.... Also wer sich denkt ich möchte endlich devildriver auf Vinyl in einem monströsen Sound hören sollte sich lieber die CD kaufen. Furchtbar schlecht "remastered"... Sieht schick aus aber das war es dann auch! Blechender Sound. Dumpf und klanglos. Enttäuschung des Jahres ...
