The good old Devildriver :( miss this style...

[@Yoshimitsu420]

Seen them live in western Australia it was awesome huge circle pit

[@andrewwinch474]

Balazs Bense I saw them in Brisbane in August, fucking awesome show!

[@AleksandarFilipovic-r4z]

@@VAC2 You can't say that the music they make is trash. But, knowing that it is THE ALMIGHTY DEVILDRIVER making that music kinda sucks because we all know their true capacity (of making legendary songs like this one is). If it was some other band performing songs that DEVILDRIVER made since beast, they would be praised.

[@SayHelloToTheRobots]

DD has not been the same since Boecklin and Kendrick left

the fury of our maker's hand was worth the money without a doubt. can easy be played first track to last track and every song is purely brilliant. if you haven't picked this album up yet you should strongly consider it.

This is the song that got me into DevilDriver. I remember hearing it at a metal nightclub and wondering what the song was called and for the longest time tried to find it. Since then I’ve just loved listening to DevilDriver.

[@MyXyle666]

i use to listen to coal chamber quite a bit when they were still around and came across DD just by chance when i went to see straight line stitch live. devildriver came out as the final band and seeing Dez at the lead was enough to hook me.

[@DrunkenMonkeyFighter]

First time I heard this song was live at a concert in NYC. I was blown away and have been a HUGE DD fan since

[@FREE_SKAPA9]

Dig deep dig in deeper you go where only fools fear to tread You'll find devices to kill your master why not kill your maker instead Leave it to the ones that own you leave it to those ones to Disown you put faith & trust in the dusk Do what you must do I'm getting edgy for those departed left all alone left still forgotten! Miles to go and sky's to fly Hold back the day Miles to go and sky's to fly it's darkest before the Dawn Claw hard now from your casket Six feet and getting deeper should the top, Soil feel Heavy it must be getting weaker Towers people build, Up in life become frail and fall to the ground Fuck them there opinion Deceiving the Honest Man!

[@bowlofarthritus]

two months later after hearing this song for the first time, it stayed with me. This is one of my favorites from any band

[@mr.nervedamagegaming8050]

Much as they try, I still personally feel that this was the pinnacle of their career... every album since hasn't matched it's songwriting and execution imo. Oh well... still a good band, just wish they could put together another solid album from start to finish like this one.

[@PDP150]

True , I dont like their new album Winter kills but I do love their older albums. Many metal bands have their pinnacle at the start of their carreer and fail to put out the same music as they used too which is sad sometimes.

[@LexingtonPlummer]

PDP150 Couldn't agree more with the both of you.

It is?

[@mrblonde7688]

@@fataloath i think it is, in a way the song could be a remember of death or it could just the remember to enjoy your day before it gets over :), i think sometimes it leans to the 2nd one and the to the 1st one i guess you can take both as they are really duality like everything. To death there is life and to life there is death

This is totally inspired by Black Sabbath's classic Paranoid video. It's actually funny seeing a modern metal song done in this style. Sounds awesome. Makes it harder to take seriously when seen like this, though. Still, props for creativity.

Yeah it really does... This video looks as if the guys went to the recording saying make the shittiest video ever and than be so fucking metal that it is cool again :D

[@DavidWi0207]

I was watching the Devildriver DVD about their duration as a band. Dez had mentioned this song and These Fighting Words are Mikes (Mike Spreitzer's) songs. That guy makes an amazing contribution to the band, but I should say they all do when they put their heads together to make this phenomenal music. If you hear a Devildriver, song you are able to distinguish their music from the rest and say "Thats Devildriver". In my opinion, the best band in Metal. Thanks for the Calgary show guys!

[@setokaiba5364]

Still On My Top 10 Songs Today🤙

[@sardaukar2809]

I met them at the motocultor festival in France, talked a bit with Bradley. These guys are so cool and relaxed. Huge respect for the fans, still one the best metal bands live. All Hail DevilDriver. Love from France. This song is in my personal Pantheon

[@korinlorin9313]

Absolutely inspiring; I usually don't do these type of little relations on youtubes but for DevilDriver I make an exception. I was in a fit of depression and self destruction until I heard my first DevilDriver tune. The lyrics speak to me on a level not many bands can accomplish, and especially in the death metal genre. The uplifting and empowering lyrics show me there is a lighter side to things; in short... thank you DevilDriver.: )
