Review - :
Its nods to {\post-grunge} melodic accessibility and generally workmanlike sound hurt {$DevilDriver}'s 2003 debut, and the murkiness of frontman {$Dez Fafara}'s relationship with his previous group {$Coal Chamber} didn't necessarily help. There was promise amidst {$DevilDriver}'s riffs and runs, but harnessing it was the problem. 2005's {^Fury of Our Maker's Hand} is the solution. {$DevilDriver} has amplified every facet of their sound. They've turned their backs on the kind of plodding melodic obviousness that kills credibility on the raging {\metal} side, instead hardwiring a vicious catchiness right into the guitar lines and {$Fafara}'s esophageal grind. Drummer {$John Boecklin} slays on {&"Bear Witness Unto"} and in the furious time-shifts of opener {&"End of the Line"}; actually, {$Boecklin} pretty much slays throughout {^Fury}. {&"Grinf**cked,"} besides having the best name on the record, also exemplifies {$DevilDriver}'s union of black melody to razor-sharp playing. {&"Pale Horse Apocalypse"} is a traditionalist {\thrash} workout, and {&"Before the Hangman's Noose"} approaches the hard-tack American {\metal} of {$Lamb of God}. The slower pace, spiritualism, and double bass tussles of {&"Sin & Sacrifice"} seem like a tribute to European {\metal}. {^Fury of Our Maker's Hand} is such a severe turn away from the falter of their first album -- and a turn toward something hungry, focused, and ready to be devoured by {\metal} faithful everywhere -- that {$DevilDriver} may have made their true debut the second time around. [A Japanese version added a bonus track.] ~ Johnny Loftus, All Music Guide
