We've heard two singles from the next Devildriver album, “Keep Away From Me” and "Iona" and today, we get our third taste. "Nest of Vipers" is heavy and has some serious groove.
Frontman Dez Fafara co-wrote the song with guitarist Neal Tiemann. Dez commented “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 kings 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, harboring 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."
Devildriver's Dealing With Demons I comes out on October 9, 2020 via Napalm Records. Pre-order here.
