Ep 329: A Conversation with Dez Fafara (DevilDriver, Coal Chamber)

In episode 329 of the podcast we’re joined by metal legend Dez Fafara, vocalist of DevilDriver/Coal Chamber.

We dig into Dez’s many years of experience in the metal world, how that informs his creative process, his mindset when writing DevilDriver material, and their excellent new album, ‘Strike And Kill’, out July 10, 2026 on Napalm Records. 

Dez is metal royalty, and this convo absolutely slaps. Enjoy!
