Early Impressions - Beast (by DevilDriver)

I just purchased the special edition of the album from iTunes last night, and based upon my first listen through there is only one word that is sufficient enough to describe this album: beast. I don't know how they do it, but DevilDriver seems to get heavier and more extreme with each album, and Beast is without a doubt no exception. Dead to Rights kicks things off with a bang and the album just builds from there, never losing momentum, never relenting. It will grab you and refuse to let go until it's conclusion, a live recording of Fury of Our Maker's Hand track Grinfucked. So far I am most impressed by two songs in particular, Talons Out (Teeth Sharpened) and Blur. Talons Out gets recognized for it's pure ferocity and Blur for how impressive the musicianship is, especially towards it's conclusion.

Expect a full review soon.
