DevilDriver’s Dez Fafara on Strike and Kill, Dark Groove, and Creative Hunger

Dez Fafara of DevilDriver Teaser Talk backstage at Welcome to Rockville for a conversation about DevilDriver’s new album Strike and Kill, the meaning behind the first single “Dig Your Own Grave,” and what keeps the band dangerous after decades in heavy music.

In this interview, Dez opens up about the mission behind Strike and Kill, describing the album as “no breaks” and “fifth gear all the way.” He also talks about the themes driving the record - resilience, strength, no compromise, and picking yourself back up when life tries to bury you.
