DEVILDRIVER Trust No One CD Album 2016

Dez Fafara had already burned down his Coal Chamber past and rebuilt himself in Sacramento's shadow. By 2016, DevilDriver were a decade and a half deep into proving that groove metal could hit with the blunt force of a freight train and the precision of something far angrier than that.

Trust No One, their seventh full-length, landed with longtime collaborator Mark Lewis behind the desk and a lineup that finally felt locked in after years of churn. The title track, Daybreak, and From Gods of Darkness showcase the band at their most focused, riff-heavy and relentless without losing the melodic undertow that separates DevilDriver from the pure punishment merchants. It's an album that rewards the kind of listening you do when you're done being polite about what music you like. Groove metal with actual grooves, metalcore aggression without the scene politics.
