Globally renowned, chart-topping band DEVILDRIVER recently announced the upcoming release of their highly-anticipated full-length album of outlaw country-gone-metal anthems,
Outlaws ‘Til The End: Vol. 1.

The monstrous collection of savage metal interpretations will be released on July 6, 2018

Today, DEVILDRIVER is pleased to reveal the fourth video in a series of interview commentary videos supporting the release of Outlaws ‘Til The End: Vol. 1. The fourth segment, entitled “The Lyrics”, features members of DEVILDRIVER and album guests Randy Blythe of Lamb of God, Hank3, Wednesday 13, and Burton C. Bell of Fear Factory, discussing the roots, reality, and rawness of outlaw country lyrics and how their performances brought new life to the content.

Lamb of God vocalist and Outlaws ‘Til The End: Vol. 1 guest Randy Blythe says, “Heartache, alcoholism, not having money, and just feeling disliked and unwanted by the entire rest of the world – those are all very real things. There’s no disputing that… you can see broken men and women everywhere. And that’s what those songs are ultimately about, I think. Broken spirits.”

DEVILDRIVER vocalist Dez Fafara says, “As a lyricist, I look at these outlaw country artists, they’re unbelievable.” Hank3 adds, “For me, writing country music, or outlaw music, is trying to keep it as real as possible.”

Rage Of LightWelcome to the family! RAGE OF LIGHT are proud to announce their worldwide signing to Napalm Records!

The band on the signing:
“We are thrilled to join the Napalm family! Currently working on our first full-length album, we are very much looking forward to this collaboration. Rage will be unleashed!”

Napalm Records A&R Sebastian Muench comments:
“The charismatic singer Melissa Bonny is no stranger to the metal world since she is also the singer of Swiss Powermetal Band „Evenmore“; whose 2016 album received very positive feedback. The band’s talent; particular Melissa´s vocal range are simply amazing and can be heard in the video „I Can, I Will“ but also in the released cover songs for „Judas“ (Lady Gaga) & “Twilight of the Thunder God” (Amon Amarth). Rage of Light, Welcome to The Napalm family!”

RAGE OF LIGHT is a Swiss trance metal/melodic death metal band created by vocalist/keyboardist Jonathan Pellet known for his past works with Trophallaxy/Dysrider.
Jonathan came up with the idea to create a hybrid of trance and melodic death metal elements in 2007 but due to being busy with other projects it took almost a decade for the idea to fully bear fruit.

Finally in 2015 he recruited Evenmore vocalist Melissa Bonny and guitarist Noé Schüpbach to complete the band. They released their first EP in 2016 titled Chasing a Reflection
as well as two singles in 2017. This year they are working on new RAGE OF LIGHT hits.

Keep your eyes & ears open!
