After numerous world tours, ten full length albums, and globally recognised acclaim, unstoppable groove metal masters DEVILDRIVER bore full speed ahead. Today, the band announce their explosive eleventh full length, Strike And Kill, out July 10, 2026 via Napalm Records. With the brutal lineup of frontman and mastermind Dez Fafara, virtuoso guitar duo Alex Lee and Gabe Mangold, eruptive drummer Davier Ortega Perez, and the return of founding bass legend Jon Miller, Strike And Kill sees DEVILDRIVER return to their carnivorous origin, reigniting the incendiary sound that founded their legacy - delivering a must listen for all fans of the genre.
Dez Fafara on Strike And Kill:
"My headspace hasn’t changed, I have not become complacent or soft in my view of the world or in my music. Metal is our outlet as listeners and writers, so on this record we focused on ‘getting it all out’ lyrically, and backing those lyrics with savage, relentless music that fuels the heavy California groove like no other. DEVILDRIVER has never sounded like any other band, we do our own thing in our own way, and I’m the most proud of that.
“I’m so proud of these musicians, this music, and the vibe around this record. DevilDriver sounds like no one else out there right now, we are here to Strike And Kill!"
Alongside today’s announcement, they unleash the fierce album opener upon the masses. Debuting yesterday on SXM’s Liquid Metal, “Dig Your Own Grave”, is a vitriolic onslaught of machine gun riffs and uncompromising aggression, lyrically lambasting fools responsible for their own undesirable fates. Full of piss and vinegar, this is DEVILDRIVER at maximum ferocity, giving listeners just a taste of the carnage waiting within Strike And Kill.
