DEVILDRIVER RELASE ‘NEST OF VIPERS’ FROM FORTHCOMING NEW ALBUM.

Posted on by Oran


DEVILDRIVER have today unveiled the video for another brand new song, ‘Nest Of Vipers’. Check it out below…

This third track follows the previously released ‘Keep Away From Me’ and ‘Iona’ and is taken from their hotly anticipated album, ‘Dealing With Demons I’.

The album is part one of a two-part collection, with this first volume landing on 9th October via Napalm Records.  Check out the video below.

Nest Of Vipers winds its way into the listener’s psyche with metallic chugging and southern-fried leads, gritty, grooving riffs and an amplified dose of energy and intensity. Co-written by frontman Dez Fafara with guitarist Neal Tiemann, the lyrics to Nest Of Vipers explore themes of true loyalty and the notion that friendship is not a commodity for sale!

Frontman Dez Fafara tells us: “This is my first co-written lyric on any DEVILDRIVER track with another band member, penned with our guitarist Neal Tiemann. Working with Neal is a good time, we always want what’s best for the song. Lyrically, the chorus says it all –“the king’s sworn men make perfect liars”. This is the cold, hard truth, as people’s loyalties are often bought and sold. The lyric “she sleeps with bones beside her” refers to another theme touched upon in this track – a woman laying in misery next to her “bones” of contention, harbouring guilt as her loyalties are also bought and sold… It’s all a sad state of affairs once you get into that bought and sold mentality, whether it’s with your work or friendships.
