Devildriver frontman Dez Fafara has recently revealed the bands plans to head back into the studio and record a new album this year. Fafara also spoke on the bands recent line up changes.
Check out what Fafara had to say below:
“The timeline is we’re definitely going to write this year and probably record this year and drop it in 2016. What made him the right guy is he’s more than capable. You can understand when members leave a band and Jeff the guitar player left because he just didn’t want to tour anymore and I totally understood that after the schedule we kept for almost 13 years.
John wanted to try and do some stuff on his own and it was more than OK with me after that length of time. So, when you do replacement members you want to get people who are more than capable or more capable than who you had.
I definitely am looking forward to playing with Austin, he’s a great guy and a great drummer. He’s got an incredible stage presence and when he came in for the audition he absolutely just smoked it. He’s just an incredible guy and you get a real good vibe from him, which is another thing.
We’re going to tour a lot so you’re going to have to have that. The guitar player is also — we’ve also got a new guitar player but we’re going to wait on the announcement on that. It’s nice, I just got back yesterday from Los Angeles, from Mike’s house meeting with the whole band. It’s looking like it’s on track to record mid this year.”
