Album Review in Brief - Beast

With each album DevilDrover never ceases to amaze me with their capacity to step the energy and brutality of their music up another notch, and Beast is without a doubt no exception to that trend. In fact, the album's sheer amount of energy and brutality just about puts that of their past work to shame. Because of this it is quite fitting that the album is titled Beast. Dead to Rights kicks things off with a bang and the album just builds from there, never losing momentum, never relenting. It will grab a hold of you and refuse to let go until it's conclusion, a live recording of Fury of Our Maker's Hand track Grinfucked. While the whole album shines, a couple tracks that really stand out are the likes of Talons Out (Teeth Sharpened), Coldblooded, Blur, and Lend Myself to the Night. Each of those four tracks really showcase DevilDriver's brutality and increased technicality and musicianship.
