DEVILDRIVER, the circlepit kings who slayed the Download Festival last weekend with their incendiary main stage set, return to the UK for a short batch of dates this October!!!

The California based band’s beast of a new album, PRAY FOR VILLAINS hits stores on 13th JULY. Critics and rock media agree that this new release sees the band operating at a higher level than ever before, having honed their sound over three previous albums to the benchmark status they’ve attained today. ‘Pray For Villains’ is also available in a special edition format, that includes 4 bonus tracks and an additional DVD of ‘behind the scenes/making of the album’ material. A must for any fan of the band. The album can be pre-ordered now at www.amazon.co.uk or www.play.com.

DevilDriver also recently played a short set at the Metal Hammer Golden God Awards, with frontman Dez also co-presenting the Best New Band award together with Hammer editor, Alex Milas.
