Another masterpiece, without question!

Who can still such spending? An impressively good debut, a damn strong successor and an almost brilliant third strike. Front Devil Dez Fafara and his men Devildriver escalated from plant to plant and lived a healthy, but steady development, after which they can be more than proud. But what may seem like "DevilDriver", "The Fury Of Our Makers Hand" and the last stroke of genius "The Last Kind Words" yet to come? Expectations are of course great, it being feared that the boys have already reached its maximum, however, or perhaps because of, is "Pray For Villains" my most anticipated album of the year. But who expects a repeat of their work or a weaker slices, which has definitely made his statement without Dez, who predicted an increase as before the predecessor and also einhielt.

And so begins this work with the title track, which indicates with crisp, fast riffing immediately the direction, but for me did not want to fire immediately, but then was able to develop even more. An up-tempo metal track in front of the first order and you can tell the same a little novelty, because there are now a few brief and sporadic clean sung backing vocals, more as a stylistic device, because as correct vocals. For now, these new nuances in the vocal are a bit strange, especially since December sometimes tried in half clean parts, but these brilliantly copes. But in the end they fit more than skilfully in the sound structure. The second track, "Pure Sincerity" turns out to be fat, bloodcurdling Groove monster still drying as attracting towards the end the pace.

That in the instrumental department only absolute masters who to learn from album to album, work, proving the protagonists on this album without demur. Mike Spreitzer and Jeff Kendrick bombard each other with funky riffs and solos, Jon Miller ensures fat groove and what John Bröckling doing on his drum kit, probably should not be copied from risk reasons. The boss himself has been working again on his voice and uses them in all its facets.

Despite sheer brutality and speed more quickly, there is always plenty of nice leads and melodies that now are already typical of DEVILDRIVER ("Fate Stepped In"). "I`ve Been Sober" comes with an eerie tension therefore, a melodic solo at the beginning, wacky riffing and provided with many tempos change song structure. Then my favorite "Resurrection Blvd." follows, in which the riffs were really dramatic staged and Dec roars to with desperate undertones his vocals from the throat. Another hit is "Waiting For November" to designate and "It's In The Cards" for running thick down, but keeps the level and provides additional variety, with its absolutely would not be necessary. Each track is a highlight in itself. The Deaht'N'Roller "Teach Me To Whisper" should be mentioned, where I on the remaining Kracher, 13 in number, no longer addresses the issue as this is beyond the scope.

And when all this was not enough, DEVILDRIVER give easy times 4 songs in digi-pack it, and even these are not qualitatively worse, the self-interpretation of "Wasted Years" of the iron maidens is a matter of taste. What's left to say? - Another, and the best ever masterpiece of guys from Santa Barbara. - Nothing else.
