Devildriver Have New Guitarist and Plan To Record New Album


. (TeamRock Radio) Dez Fafara says Devildriver have hired a replacement for departed guitarist Jeff Kendrick - but they won't reveal who just yet. The band lost Kendrick and drummer John Boecklin last year. They recently unveiled former Chimaira man Austin D'Amond as the new face behind the kit, and Fafara says they are almost ready to announce Kendrick's replacement.

Fafara also confirmed that recording sessions for the band's seventh album will begin this year. They were originally due to enter the studio last year but those plans were put on hold by the departures.

He tells Full Metal Jackie: "We've also got a new guitar player, but we're gonna wait on the announcement for that. But it's nice." Fafara adds that he accepts the pair's reasons for leaving and says he's excited about playing live with D'Amond.

He says: "You can understand when members leave a band, and Jeff, the guitar player, left because he just didn't wanna tour anymore, and I totally understood that after the schedule we kept for almost 13 years." Read more here.
