NEW DEVILDRIVER SONG: AS IT TURNS OUT, OWLS REALLY ARE PRETTY METAL

Those groovy folks at Roadrunner are giving away the title track from the new DevilDriver album, Pray for Villains, right here.

And I dig it. It sounds like DevilDriver, but a little faster than most DevilDriver, and a little more melodic (and no, that’s not code for “clean vocals” – Dez still sounds like he’s trying to hock a massive blood-tinged loogie). I also really like that herky jerky start-stop thing that happens in the last minute or so of the track.

So go download it and then come back here and let us know what you think. And don’t forget that DevilDriver are headlining this summer’s Thrash and Burn tour, which we’re co-sponsoring! You can get complete tour dates here.
