Album Review: DevilDriver - Winter Kills

Meat and potatoes remain popular because they hit the spot on most occasions. Growler Dez Fafara and groove-oriented metal cohorts DevilDriver must recognise this because despite press claims otherwise, they haven't altered the recipe too radically after half-a-dozen records, thus satisfying their rabid following. 

Ever-consistent, the Americans' attack bristles with potency; fusion of Pantera-esque stomp, melo-death trimmings, monstrous circle-pit fodder (Gutted) and memorable hooks (Winter Kills) ensuring they could teach the Germans a few lessons regarding efficiency. Covering indie/electro mob AWOLNATION's Sail deviates from their norm, but proves to be a misfire. Few curveballs, but another mosh-friendly beast.
