Metal road warriors DevilDriver are at it again. The California band will hit the road in Winter 2008, headlining the Bound By The Road tour in support of their acclaimed masterwork, The Last Kind Words, lauded by Decibel as as ferocious and fiery if not more- as any record this year. DevilDriver are a touring machine, and this will be the bands first headline run for this album. Also on the bill are death metal legends Napalm Death, and up-and-comers Walls Of Jericho, 36 Crazyfists and In Vitro. The tour begins on February 27 and runs through April 19.
Pre-sale tickets will be available exclusively for members of the bands newly launched fan club, dubbed The Wretched, on Thursday, December 13, 2007, at https://tixx1.artistarena.com/devildriver/. Tickets will be available for the general public the following day. Additionally, those diehard fans who purchase 4 or more tickets at once will gain early entry into the venue, and participate in a 30-minute pre-show meet and greet with the entire band where they will be able to take photographs and have two items autographed.
The Wretched is an exclusive, official fan community where DevilDriver fans reap loads of benefits for the low annual cost of $19.99. Members of The Wretched will receive a t-shirt and patch upon signing up, automatic entry into contests, monthly giveaways, as well as more intimate access to the band through web chats and blogs.
Of the fan club and the tour, frontman Dez Fafara said, We have just started our first fan club, and we have put together a diverse package. We have one of the greatest legends in metal playing right before us and we have a punk rock band opening for us. Were going to do an hour to an hour-and-a-half on stage every night, and were going to throw in a lot of songs we have never played live before. There will be more of a production on stage, too. With lights and all. We will be playing a lot of stuff from our new record. And there will be some surprises, too, so come out and see the show!
