Ep. 81: [Interview] with DEZ FAFARA of DEVILDRIVER (US).

Another very lucky honour and privilege here at Inner-Strength Check Podcast! As the man fronting Coal Chamber and, later on and to date, Devildriver, vocalist Dez Fafara has been around the block a few times. That also includes our block, and having seen the 'Driver a fair few times (as well as a lucky CC slot at Soundwave one time), he's definitely a frontman who knows how to work an audience. We discuss returning to Australia, the upcoming album release, the imminent tour alongside the UK's Cradle of Filth and more. BONUS: Inner-Strength Check Radio!
