DevilDriver in Tempe

About the artist

A devil driver is the name witches give to the bells they use to drive evil away when they are casting their spells. For lead singer Dez Fafara, music has always been a devil driver of sorts, allowing him to drive away all of the demons of his world with a bellowing howl that is distinctively his. DevilDriver is a heavy metal band that formed in 2002, from California in the United States. The group was started by Dez Fafara, formerly of the band Coal Chamber, as a result of frustrations stemming from the more mainstream direction his former band mates were attempting to take their music. After the demise of Coal Chamber, DevilDriver became his main focus since.
