"The single 'Dig Your Own Grave' showcases the band's heavier take on groove metal, sitting somewhere between melodic death metal and metalcore. It features abrasive and heavily rhythmic riffs backed by both eerie synthesizers in the chorus and great lead work from the current twin-guitar attack of Alex Lee and Gabe Mangold."
"Frontman Dez Fafara stated that the song 'is about how one wrong decision, one wrong move can see your whole world turned upside down, effectively 'digging' your own grave... it's that simple.'"
"'It can also refer to how your decisions can fuck someone else. This is why there's the line 'Six feet ain't deep enough for you,' because only a deep, deep hole is fitting for what you've done or tried to do to others.'"
"'My headspace hasn't changed, I have not become complacent or soft in my view of the world or in my music. Metal is our outlet as listeners and writers, so on this record we focused on 'getting it all out' lyrically.'"
DevilDriver's 11th album, Strike and Kill, is set for release on July 10th through Napalm Records. The lead single, 'Dig Your Own Grave,' showcases a heavier groove metal sound. The band will embark on a North American tour starting August 14th, featuring Upon a Burning Body and Ov Sulfur. The tour will cover cities like Austin and Chicago, concluding on September 5th in Anaheim. Frontman Dez Fafara emphasizes the song's themes of decision-making and its consequences, reflecting the band's commitment to their musical intensity.
