Video Premiere: DEVILDRIVER's 'Trust No One'

“Trust No One”, the new video from California metallers DEVILDRIVER, can be seen below. The clip was filmed during the band’s appearance at Ozzfest Meets Knotfest in Devore, California at the end of September.

“DEVILDRIVER is a California band and we were honored to be part of the return of Ozzfest in California, where it all began,” said DEVILDRIVER frontman Dez Fafara. “I’m thankful to Sharon and Ozzy and everyone in the Osbourne camp that DEVILDRIVER was allowed to shoot a live video that day! The sun was blazing hot on a clear afternoon and the crowd went insane as soon as we took the stage. The pit was giant for us and it was killer to see such a massive crowd participating in the madness! Thanks to all who shared the memory and came out to support. Keep it heavy!”

“Trust No One” is the title track of DEVILDRIVER‘s seventh studio album, which was released on May 13 via Napalm Records. The follow-up to 2013’s “Winter Kills” was once again produced by Mark Lewis (ARSIS, THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER, WHITECHAPEL, DEVILDRIVER, DEICIDE, SIX FEET UNDER) with assistance from Jason Suecof (AUGUST BURNS RED, DEICIDE, DEATH ANGEL). The new CD marks the group’s first release since the departures of guitarist Jeff Kendrick and drummer John Boecklin and addition of axeman Neal Tiemann and former CHIMAIRA sticksman Austin D’Amond.

“Trust No One” entered The Billboard 200 chart at position No. 43 with first-week sales of just over 12,000 units — nearly all from pure album sales. The set follows the No. 32-peaking “Winter Kills”, which was released in August 2013 and opened with 11,000 copies.

Fafara recently told Full Metal Jackie about the “Trust No One” album title: “I raised my children with a huge sticker on the refrigerator for a long time saying ‘Question Authority.’ And ‘Trust No One’ is basically along [those] lines. I don’t think that ‘Question Authority’ would have worked for a title. But you’ve gotta really watch people, and you’ve gotta watch ’em before you bring ’em into your circle, and after you do bring them into your circle, then you’ve gotta watch ’em even closer. And as they exit, you’ll realize that a lot of the times you bring in people, and as they exit, they are not, or were not, what they said they were the whole time they were in your life.”

He continued: “I’m a very private person and my circle is very small. I have had some monumental fallouts over the years with some people, both personal and in business. And, basically, because you come to a realization where positivity is more important than anything in your life. And if someone is bringing you negativity, bringing you down, not having a good time with you or around whatever you are doing, you know, it’s time to vacate the situation. ‘Cause I am a glass-half-full guy; I’m always pretty positive, and I’m always willing to have a really good time. So, in the last couple years, that’s been what’s going on with me. I’ve been, ‘Look, are you positive in my life? Okay, cool. Come around more. If you are not, I may lose your phone number.'”
