Following the dissolution of Marilyn Manson/Korn-aping, nu-metal also-rans Coal Chamber, vocalist Dez Fafara hooked up with guitarists Evan Pitts and Jeffrey Kendrick, bassist Jon Miller and drummer John Boecklin, to form Devildriver -- a rather more extreme band dedicated to the subsequent hardcore-meets-death metal trends. Signed to Roadrunner like Fafara's previous group, Devildriver released their eponymous debut to mixed reviews in 2003, and then its even less appreciated follow-up, The Fury of Our Maker's Hand (where Pitts was replaced by Mike Spreitzer), a couple of years later. Regardless of public opinion, the band has toured relentlessly across the U.S. and Europe behind both releases. ~ Eduardo Rivadavia, All Music Guide
