Santa Barbara, California metallers DevilDriver have tapped producer Mark Lewis (Trivium, Chimaira, All That Remains) to helm their new album, tentatively due in early 2011. Currently recording at Sonic Ranch studios in Tornillo, Texas, frontman Dez Fafara describes the work in progress as "intense" and "full of raw emotion."

In an interview with Metal As Fuck late last year, Fafara commented on the band's plans for its next studio album, saying, "Record five with this band, and I've said it before, even with record five, six, seven, eight and nine, will continue to get better. Not a lot of bands can say that and not a lot of bands have done that. Most bands, by the time they've done that amount of records, they're either over it or they're not giving you the anticipation of the record release that they should. But we want to keep DevilDriver fans on their feet. So every two years we're going to release a record and just continue to tour like we do, and we're booked until May 2012. Then we're going to take about six months off. That'll be the most time I've had off in about fourteen years."

Stay tuned for more on the upcoming album, and watch the band's latest video for "Another Night in London" off of 2009's Pray For Villains below.

"Peter Steele was one of the nicest guys in music, he was always kind to me through the years. I toured many times with Type O and was always taken care of! Big guy with a huge heart. My heart goes out to his band, his family, and his many friends around the world.

We have All lost a LEGEND, a voice that will never be duplicated!"
