Today, DEVILDRIVER is pleased to reveal the third video in a series of new interview commentary videos supporting the release of Outlaws 'Til The End: Vol. 1. The third segment, entitled "The Guests", features members of DEVILDRIVER discussing what is was like to have so many iconic guests featured on the album, as well as album guests John Carter Cash, Randy Blythe of Lamb of God, Lee Ving of Fear, Hank3, Wednesday 13, and Burton C. Bell of Fear Factory reminiscing about how they came to be involved and their different approaches to recording the tracks.
In the video, drummer Austin D'Amond says:
"It's crossing sh*t off of a bucket list... like, really? I got to do a cover song of this legend [Johnny Cash] and his son [John Carter Cash] is on this f*cking track - wow, that's bad as hell.... every one of these guests, it's not like it's some half-assed thing... they're wailing on this sh*t. They're psyched to be a part of it and we're psyched to have them. It's an honor."

Don't miss the first single from Outlaws 'Til The End: Vol. 1, DEVILDRIVER's rendition of Hank3's "Country Heroes" featuring Hank3 himself: https://youtu.be/lpm9QrPKfWE
From the opening seconds of Hank3's"Country Heroes" onward, Outlaws 'Til The End: Vol. 1is simply one of the most invigorating records the band have made yet. More importantly, these evocative, irresistible songs have all been wholly rebuilt from the ground up, powered by the classic DEVILDRIVER sound and embellished with Fafara's unmistakable feral roar. Outlaws 'Til The End: Vol. 1 was produced, mixed and recorded with Steve Evetts (Dillinger Escape Plan, Every Time I Die, Sepultura, The Cure), and co-produced by DevilDriver guitarist Mike Spreitzer. The album was mastered by renowned engineer Alan Douches.
Completing this unprecedented project is a host of metal and country luminaries providing unforgettable cameos: horror metal icon Wednesday13 lends his incensed rasp to George Jones' "If Drinking Don't Kill Me", 36 Crazyfists frontman Brock Lindow brings fire and soul to Steve Earle's, "Copperhead Road", and Fear Factory's Burton C. Bell helps to turn Richard Thompson's anti-war classic, "Dad's Gonna Kill Me", into a brooding gothic metal extravaganza.
Meanwhile, Lamb of God members Randy Blythe and Mark Morton contribute to an exhilarating decimation of Willie Nelson's "Whiskey River" before Randy makes a second appearance on DEVILDRIVER's version of cowboy standard "Ghost Riders In The Sky"; the latter featuring the son and daughter of Johnny Cash himself, John Carter Cash and Ana Cristina Cash. The album also features the iconic voice of Fear, US punk rock legend Lee Ving, on Johnny Cash's "The Man Comes Around" and David Allan Coe's "The Ride".
Still charging forward, proudly against the grain and on the form of their lives, DEVILDRIVER have never made a record like Outlaws 'Til The End: Vol. 1 before. But then, nor has anyone else.The perfect marriage of badass country grit and neck-wrecking groove metal supremacy, it'sa pistol-packing game-changer delivered by true heavy metal outlaws.
Stay tuned for more new music and videos coming soon in anticipation of Outlaws 'Til The End: Vol. 1.
