Review Text
2023 release. And now, as society emerges more hardened and determined than before, so does DevilDriver's 10th full-length, Dealing With Demons Vol. II. Once again produced and engineered by Steve Evetts with additional engineering from guitarist Mike Spreitzer, Dealing With Demons Vol. II is inarguably heavier and relentlessly harsher than it's predecessor. Dealing With Demons Vol. II represents not only the most vicious of the two records, but also the darkest recesses of iconic frontman Dez Fafara's psyche and the final purging of his demons that have long haunted the band's music. If there is any question as to whether DevilDriver is slowing down any time soon, Dealing With Demons Vol. II proves that 20 years into their career, even with their demons in tow - they move forward at the forefront of metal.
