| 1. End Of The Line
I do declare, there's something in the air
I'm burning the candle at both ends
Bitter betrayals, skeleton keys
Houses to haunt, well it's alright by me
Rags to ruin, some foolhardy choices
Some would say, not a ghost of a chance
The ghosts in my mind, they're one of a kin |

В группе DevilDriver может в первую очередь привлекать неординарная личность фронтмена Дэза Фафары, за свою карьеру бывшего также лидером успешной ню-метал команды Coal Chamber, а потом решившего играть не более спокойную музыку (как это обычно происходит), а, напротив, выбравшего себе другой стиль и пошедшего по пути брутальной подачи. Освободившись от пут своего еще «сомнительно металического» прошлого, он сколотил крепчайшую дэткор команду, обладающую собственным звучанием. Второй альбом группы «The Fury of Our Maker's Hand» – зрелый диск от еще молодого коллектива, который сразу ставит его на очень высокую ступень и уже позволяет конкурировать с грандами жанра. Пройдусь по порядку по тому, что хочется отметить среди отличительных особенностей музыки DevilDriver. Одну из самобытных черт группы составляет вокал Дэза, который стал более мощным и яростным, но по-прежнему заключает в себе психопатические интонации. Фафара еще в своей прежней группе прославился умением сочинять захватывающие припевы и использовать тому подобные вокальные "фишки", и это хорошо помогает ему и в данном коллективе. Гитаристы производят мощный дэткор с вязкими грувовыми мотивами, но не забывают и о мелодиях, которые пронизаны особым тревожным и минорным эмоциональным настроем. Что до ударника, то это монстр игры на бочках, который на повышенных скоростях старается выжать из них все, что можно. Материал альбома довольно-таки хитов; есть, где развернуться в выборе любимых песен. Хотелось бы отметить открывающую “End of the Line”: только мы вставили диск в проигрыватель, как сразу же настраиваемся на элегический лад, чуть не прослезились, и тут начинают рубить гитары и сотрясать воздух ударные… Также заслуживают внимания, на мой взгляд, наполненная глубоким мрачным мелодизмом “Grinfucked”, “Hold Back the Day” с запоминающимися злющими вокальными партиями, композиционно разнообразная, лирическая и одновременно очень жесткая “Sin & Sacrifice”, боевики “Just Run” и “Bear Witness Unto” и заключительная заглавная вещь, уводящая нас, в конце концов, в ту же задумчивость, в которую нас в свое время погрузила самая первая песня… В итоге имеем работу, без сомнения, крепкую, но несколько не сбалансированную: хитовую и одновременно достаточно вязкую и труднопроходимую. Однако с каждым новым прослушиванием все больше веришь в то, что в этом и заключается ее прелесть: Дэз всегда все красил не в самые светлые, легковоспринимаемые тона... |

Второй альбом. Devildriver уже засветились своим одноимённым дебютом, показав себя как очень способную и перспективную команду. Ожидание фэнов новоиспечённой группы длилось почти два года, и вот он, наконец, вышел! Явных, бросающихся в глаза, отличий от предшественника нет, но всё же рост музыкантов виден невооружённым глазом. Уровень мелодичности заметно возрос, от однообразности, которая в какой-то мере имелась на дебютном альбоме, ничего не осталось. Практически все песни запоминаются с первого раза, за исключением нескольких более слабых треков в середине и конце альбома. “The Fury Of Our Maker’s Hand” – очень яркий пример логического развития творческих идей. Вроде ничего нового, но всё равно виден прогресс. Поэтому этот альбом можно с лёгкостью назвать хитовой работой. Действительно хитовой, так как песни реально врезаются в память сродни тому, как пуля пробивает хрупкий череп и остаётся там. Наиболее яркими примерами абсолютных хитов, на мой взгляд, являются открывашка “End Of The Line”, зачаровывающая своим вступлением вещь “Driving Down The Darkness”, тягучая “Grinfucked”, одна из самых мелодичных песен группы “Hold Back The Day”, красивая “Sin And Sacrifice”, энергичная “Ripped Apart”, саундтрек для погони “Just Run”, переполненная нечеловеческим драйвом “Bear Witness Unto” и заключительная заглавная вещь “The Fury Of Our Maker’s Hand”. Музыканты по-прежнему выжимают все соки из инструментов. Фронтмен Дез Фафара своим дьявольским голосом вносит необходимую такого рода музыке порцию агрессии и злобы, гитаристы Джефф Кендрик и Майк Спрейцер придают песням должный драйв, извлекая из своих гитар сочную, плотную стену звука. Басист Джон Миллер хоть особо ничем не выделяется, но всё же в музыку группы вписывается более чем отлично. А вот барабанщик Джон Бэклин своими двухбочечными очередями дробит сознание и заставляет колбаситься под музыку группы, кстати, если кто не знает, у него своя манера игры на бочках – он играет... босыми ногами! Великолепный альбом великолепной команды, который, без сомнения, должен быть в вашей коллекции, если, конечно, вы не заморачиваетесь на стереотипах и готовы оценить интересный и неординарный металл! |

They tell me what to do, and it's shut down you
Some things are best just left unsaid
End of the line, end of the line
One door closes, another door closes
And now you're boxed in
End of the line, end of the line
Feel eyes in the trees, the foreboding path
The turn of the head, I hear it laugh
It says "Hang 'em now," it says "Hang 'em high"
When you are done, then hail to the sky
I've been taught to get the fuck up
To dust myself off, and to go it again
The ghosts in my mind, they're one of a kind
They tell me what to do, and it's shut down you
Some things are best just left unsaid
End of the line, end of the line
One door closes, another door closes
And now you're boxed in
End of the line, end of the line
Shit
Bitter betrayals, the foreboding path
I've come to shut you down
Rags to ruin, some foolhardy choices
Some would say, not a ghost of a chance
The ghosts in my mind, they're one of a kind
They tell me what to do, and it's shut down you
Some things are best just left unsaid
End of the line, end of the line
One door closes, another door closes
And now you're boxed in
End of the line, end of the line
2. Driving Down The Darkness
Beat down through worlds
This time it's crossed the line
Beware of what's behind
Wolfs coming quick to kill you
Currents running strong
Think your right, wrong
Look, it's long gone
Look, it's long gone
Stick it to yourself, hold your own
Stay strong in the sight of insanity
Driving down the darkness
Stricken by the madness
Praying for forgiveness
While you play god (with my life)
Me against them, no stopping
Time for action not talking
If it rears it's ugly head
I'll cut it clean off
Change this, change that
Change this, change that
My ears are burning from all the talking
Time for fuckers to start walking
Stick to yourself hold your own
Stay strong in the sight of insanity
Driving down the darkness
Stricken by the madness
Praying for forgiveness
While you play god (with my life)
I'll pray for you, your prayers come true
That I don't come for you
Driving down the darkness
Stricken by the madness
Praying for forgiveness
While you play god (with my life)
3. Grinfucked
Lights on but no-ones home
I should've left you on your own
You can't stand the heat you're all alone
YEEAAAA!!
Horseshoes and hand-grenades
Coulda, Woulda, Shoulda
Your bed is made
Another man down and gone
Take advantage, manipulate
Take advantage, you piece of shit
Grinfucked
Debit paid in full
You won't grinfuck me
This time the advantage is mine
This time vengeance is mine
This time vengeance is mine
Come seeking treasure
Without a map
It's in the journey and you'll never find your way back
Take advantage, manipulate
Take advantage, you piece of shit
Grinfucked
Debit paid in full
You won't grinfuck me
Drop down
Fool me once
Shame on you
Fool me twice
Shame on me
You've been grinfucked
4. Hold Back The Day
[Verse]
Dig deep
Dig in deeper
You go where only fools
Fear to tread
You'll find devices to kill your master
Why not kill your maker instead
Leave it to the ones that own you
Leave it to those ones to disown you
Put faith & trust in the dusk
Do what you must do
[PreChorus]
I'm getting edgy for those departed
Left all alone left still forgotten!!!!
[Chorus]
Miles to go and
Sky's to fly
Hold back the day
Miles to go and
Skys to fly
It's darkest before the Dawn
[Verse]
Claw hard now
From your casket
Six feet and getting deeper
Should the top, soil feel Heavy
It must be getting weaker
Towers people build, up in life
Become frail & fall to the ground
Fuck them
There opinion
Deceiving
The Honest Man!!!!!!!!
[PreChorus]
Always, always, darkest before the dawn....
[Chorus]
5. Sin & Sacrifice
Regrets night sweats
Occasional thoughts of suicide
Green light I'm OK
Feeling fine just a little tongue tied
Old habits die hard and I've lived so fast
And I know it's a long way down
Tempting me
Tempting you
Tempting us in all we do
Can't make a move
Show me a sign
What is your will
It's a.......
Long long way
Between sin and sacrifice
Lost sleep, count sheep
Can't see them to get my mind off of things
Toss and turn, candles burn
Grinding teeth and night endlessly
Old habits die hard and I've lived so fast
And I know it's a long way down
Tempting me
Tempting you
Tempting us in all we do
Can't make a move
Show me a sign
What is your will
It's a.......
Long long way
6. Ripped Apart
Throw stones
Even though you live in a glass house on your own
And I don't sympathize or criticize
Rumour has it you've got something to say
You've got nothing on me
Nothing on me
Rumour has it you keep repeating yourself
You've got nothing on me
Nothing on me
Second mind
Second sight
Second skin
Go within
Ripped apart
Ripped apart on sight
Fork tongue
It's like a razor when you want to use it
And use it wrong
And I don't compromise or socialise
Rumour has it you've got something to say
You've got nothing on me
Nothing on time
Second mind
Second sight
Second skin
Go within
Ripped apart
Ripped apart on sight
Ripped apart, ripped apart, ripped apart
Goddamn, shit, I'm feeling it
When we see each other it's throw time
When we see each other it's throw time
When we see each other it's go time
You throw stones and I don't criticise
You throw stones and I don't sympathize...
You throw stones and I don't criticise
Throw stones...
7. Pale Horse Apocalypse
Solemn roads and the paths least chose
Walking miles when the ground is frozen
Selling souls that aren't yours to give
Some must go and other may live
Pale horse - apocalypse
Stale breath - from liar's lips
Many many lives
Turned upside down
Bloods clean - you know it is
Downstream - it's mine, not his
Red water churns
Watch the evil river burn
Every mistake that you've made
Is more dirt on the grave
That you've been digging
Not for yourself but for us
Fuck you
Congratulations on your efforts dead ends
Between us, let's not pretend half-ass, jackass, liar
You threw us all in the fire
Under a hale of gunfire
Some will live and others expire
You turned it all upside down
Bloods clean - you know it's downstream - it's mine, not his
Red water churning
Watch the evil river burn
Every mistake that you've made
Is more dirt on your grave
That you've been digging
Not for yourself but for us
Fuck you
Half-ass jackass, liar
Bloods clean - you know it is
Downstream - it's mine.. not his
Red water churning watch the evil river burn
Every mistake that you've made
Is more dirt on the grave
That you've been digging
Not for yourself but for us
Fuck you
You fuckin liar!
8. Just Run
Just run
Courage without conviction
Is apathy at best
Better move with a quickness
Or get shit-canned like the rest
No-one taught you how to run with the pack
So blaze your own trail down
Catch yourself if you slip
Chances are there'll be no-one around
Get out leave it far behind
Get out leave it far behind
Get out of small town
Run now... to save yourself
Run now... to take control
Run now... to save your life
Run now... it's do or die
Just run....
The grass is greener on the other side
No one here gets out alive
It's up to you to survive
There's a monster on your side
Get out leave it far behind
Get out leave it far behind
Get out of small town
Run now... to save yourself
Run now... to take control
Run now... to save your life
Run now... it's do or die
Just run....
I've got faith on my side
Destiny on my side
I know it's getting better
I can fgeel it getting better
It can't get much worse
It couldn't get much worse
This time I'm gonna run
Run now... to save yourself
Run now... to take control
Run now... to save your life
Run now... it's do or die
Just run....
9. Impending Disaster
There's dirt on my show and there mud on his back
He's been chasing his nightmares for days
I'm running with evil, its impending disaster
I've finally steered clear of his way
I see it staring you down
I feel it wrapping around
Shits taking you down so quick
I see it staring you down
I feel it wrapping around
Shits taking you down so quick
Why can't I help my friend when he won't even help himself
I can't yell at you because
I've yelled at myself so many times
Hard times, hard times
Goddamn we're two of a kind
I can't yell at you because
I've yelled at myself so many times
Who now is to blame
When karma keeps coming around
Hard times and troubles we all live in peril
Its difficult, full of dismay
He buries his feelings, he shrouds his light
With oh so many evil thoughts
It's the dirt on your shoes
It's mud on our back
That makes us one in the same
I see it staring you down
I feel it wrapping you round
Shits taking you down so quick because
I've yelled at myself so many times
Who now is to blame
When karma keeps coming around
With so many evil things
Who now is to blame
When karma keeps coming around
So many evil things
10. Bear Witness Unto
Scream in vain tonight
All the kings must fall
Take a stand tonight
All the kinds must fall
Fight or flight tonight
This night I'm craving disaster
Give them hell tonight
This night is meant for disaster
Go --- bear witness unto
This solitude, my solitude
Under the gun and without a knife
Its going off without a hitch
Get done!!!
Alright
Sink or swim tonight
Cant stop the way I'm feeling
Ring the bell tonight
All the kings must fall
Roll the dice tonight
Give it all to chance
I'm all in tonight
This night I'm craving disaster
Go --- bear witness unto
This solitude, my solitude
Under the gun without a knife
It's going off without a hitch
Get gone!!
11. Before The Hangman's Noose
It's a good day to fuckin' die
A good day.... A fuckin good day
Truth be told the water looks cold
And the trees fly by as we drive
The sun goes down
Sometimes I wanna stay
Sometimes I wanna leave
Sometimes I gotta ride
Riding this rail I know what I'm on
But not now what I'm in for
This train to somewhere seems to never end
As far as I can tell..... Hell
Before all hell breaks loose
Before the hangman's noose
And as the sun goes down
I'll say
It's a good day to die, a good day to die
Before the hangman's noose
I'll say
It's a good day to die a good day to die
No more stops, time to punch your ticket
This time this ride is one way
I can see a shadow of a man
And man it's coming my way
Riding this rail, I know what I'm on
But not now what I'm in for
This train to nowhere seems to never end
As far as I can tell...... Hell
Before all hell breaks loose
Before the hangman's noose
And as the sun goes down
I'll say
It's a good day to die, a good day to die
Before the hangman's noose
I'll say
It's a good day to die a good day to die
This day it will be mine
Shit
Before all hell breaks loose
I'll say
Before the hangmans noose
I'll say
It's a good day to die, a good day to die
Before all hell breaks loose
I'll say
This day will be mine........
Before all hell breaks loose
It's a good day to die.
12. The Fury Of Our Maker's Hand
I'm just a human being
A mistake made of feelings
With a soul... wrapping in chains
So fragile, full of pain
No one knows why we are here
Giving laughter and so many tears
I will just do my best
To keep my head above the rest
No one really knows
Which way the wind blows
One day the tides will turn
One day the fields will burn
One day the seas will churn
The fury of out maker's hand
Man is a mistake cast out
Shunned and cast down
Giving life through breathe of gods
W With itself always at odds
The pious the preacher
The liar, the creature
F rom rock to fire
The dust of man
O my maker
I need a savior
One day the tides will turn
O ne day the fields will burn
One day the seas will churn
T he fury of our makers hand
The fury. The fury
What will you do?
