DevilDriver got off to a promising start with their debut self titled album, defining much of their groove orientated style and laying the foundations for the rest of their career.

With their second album, `The Fury of Our Maker’s Hand,’ however they really stepped up in terms of quality and consistency. Everything about this album is of the highest quality, from the production and the lyrics, which are better than usual to the performances and actual songwriting.

Songs like `Driving Down The Darkness,’ and the single `Hold Back The Day,’ are still some of the band’s most popular songs to this day.

Thankfully DevilDriver haven’t spent their whole career writing the same song over and over again, but this album is the place where you can get what you want in the highest concentration; but luckily, without getting tired of it.

There are a few moments of variety, with clean arpeggio sections here and there or the occasional set of cleaner vocals. For the most part however, this album is perhaps the album which most perfectly encapsulates DevilDriver’s actual sound. Other albums have outside influences, be they melo-death or otherwise in addition to the power groove style.

To summarize, if you like DevilDriver this album is a must have and if you aren’t a fan yet, this is a great starting point. It is perhaps the most `DevilDriver,’ DevilDriver album released so far.
