Hear 2 Zen Podcast: Episode 286 - Dez Fafara From DevilDriver

For over two decades, DevilDriver have spent forging a sound built on chaos and catharsis. Armed with a brooding, ritualistic intensity and delivered with the kind of conviction only a band at the top of their game can command, they remain an absolute powerhouse in modern heavy metal. On this episode of the Hear 2 Zen Podcast, we are joined by the legendary frontman himself, Dez Fafara! Dez dropped in to give us the inside scoop on DevilDriver’s highly anticipated upcoming Australian co-headlining tour with Cradle of Filth this July. But that’s just the tip of the iceberg. In this candid and wide-ranging chat, we dive deep into: Strike and Kill: A sneak peek into the upcoming album and what fans can expect from the next chapter of DevilDriver. The Creative Process: Why spontaneity is absolutely crucial when recording vocals to capture raw, authentic emotion. Trusting the Tribe: Why Dez is letting his bandmates take the reins to choose the setlist for these upcoming shows. Behind the Lens: His experience directing the brutal new music video for "Dig Your Own Grave." Band Pride: The immense pride he shares for his current band members and their collective growth.
