DevilDriver Premiere “Dig Your Own Grave” Music Video, Announce New Album And Tour
DevilDriver have premiered a new video for their new song “Dig Your Own Grave.” This track is from the band’s new album, “Strike And Kill,” which will be released on July 10.
Vocalist Dez Fafara commented on the song:
“‘Dig Your Own Grave’ is about how one wrong decision, one wrong move can see your whole world turned upside down, effectively ‘digging’ your own grave… it’s that simple.
It can also refer to how your decisions can fuck someone else. This is why there’s the line ‘Six feet ain’t deep enough for you,’ because only a deep, deep hole is fitting for what you’ve done or tried to do to others. Be careful when you choose to make decisions at midnight.”
He also added the following about the album:
“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!”

John Bush Would Be Open To An Anthrax Tour Featuring Him, Joey Belladonna, And Neil Turbin
During an interview with The Metal Voice, John Bush discussed his recent “Celebrating The Songs Of Anthrax” shows. He also confirmed that he would be open to a hypothetical Anthrax tour featuring vocals from him, Joey Belladonna, and Neil Turbin.
Bush had the following to say about his Anthrax-era shows, which found him joined by his Armored Saint bandmate Joey Vera (bass) as well as his Category 7 bandmates Phil Demmel (guitar), Mike Orlando (guitar), and Jason Bittner (drums):
“Yeah, it was awesome. The shows were amazing. All three of ’em were great. It was a lot of fun. I got pretty favorable reviews from people. It was cool for me to hear those songs live as well as to hear all those guys play them so well. And I think for the fans, a lot of those people probably felt like they may never hear those songs live again. And so there was a lot of emotion in the crowd from hearing those tunes. It was really, really cool. So it was all a big giant plus, and I’m glad I finally did it. And I wanna do more. It’s just gotta fit in with my schedule. I am playing Milwaukee Metal Fest with it, and so is ARMORED SAINT the day before, so that should be fun. But there’s a lot of territories I would like to play with. It just has to coincide with my life right now. I’m kind of focused on SAINT, and we have a new record coming out. So, I’m kind of distracted, but, yeah, we’ll see.
It’s old material, so it’s not going anywhere — let’s face it. And I don’t think there’s an urgency to have to do it, because I waited so long to do it. So, I think if there’s any urgency connected to it, it’s mostly just because the songs are demanding, so they’re not easy to do. And, unfortunately, with every passing minute. I’m getting older. So it’s more about just being able to do it. And if I’m able to do it physically, then I don’t really have to feel like I have to do it or else I can’t.”
He continued when asked if the concerts were worth all of the preparations:
“It was worth it. It was worth it, for sure. I mean, this isn’t just some big cash cow that I’m making a bunch of money on. I didn’t wanna lose money, of course. It paid for itself. And I think that was the key thing. And I sold a lot of records. I actually contacted Megaforce and [ordered copies of the ANTHRAX albums to sell at the gigs]… I sold all the vinyl — all of it. ‘Cause Megaforce re-released those records. So I sold all the vinyl, I didn’t sell all the CDs, but I ended up buying them anyway. And I have ’em because I signed them. Eventually I’ll sign ’em [and] I’ll sell ’em somewhere. But, yeah, it was pretty amazing that I actually sold all the records.”
He also added the following when asked about a Helloween-style Anthrax tour consisting of sets from him, Belladonna, and Turbin:
“I think it was really cool what HELLOWEEN did with all that. I think it’s a very creative, and it was something that I think I would like to do that. I think that probably the person that would have to be convinced would be Joey, quite frankly. And I understand whatever his perspective is on it, whether he doesn’t or does wanna do it. It’s up to him, really. And the band, of course. But I think everybody would have to feel like ‘I’m in’. Or not. And if you’re not, then don’t do it by any means.”
