Last week, DEVILDRIVER dropped the most commanding song cut from Outlaws ‘Til The End: Vol. 1 – their metallicized, aggressive cover of the outlaw classic “Ghost Riders in the Sky” – featuring the talents of album guests John Carter Cash (son of country music legend Johnny Cash), Ana Cristina Cash, and renowned Lamb of God vocalist Randy Blythe.

Today, following up on the track’s release, DEVILDRIVER revealed the fifth video in a series of interview commentary videos supporting the release of Outlaws ‘Til The End: Vol. 1. The fifth segment, entitled “The Cash Cabin”, features members of DEVILDRIVER and album guests John Carter Cash and Randy Blythe of Lamb of God discussing the recording of “Ghost Riders in the Sky” at the famous Cash Cabin where Johnny and June Carter Cash recorded most of their later music. Watch here: https://youtu.be/mRyWk3d0w5w
 
DEVILDRIVER frontman Dez Fafara says, “I was very fortunate to record there and be able to sign the mantle. Like the mantle that Johnny Cash built in his cabin… it was unbelievable for me.” Dez adds, “Meeting John Carter Cash was an incredible thing… he told us some stuff his dad had done in there… I found it very interesting that a lot of these real country cats listen to metal. The first story John Carter Cash told us was about his father taking him to go see Ozzy.”
 
John Carter Cash adds, “I sang the choruses… and then my wife Ana did some high parts here and there. It was exciting. We don’t do a lot of that kind of music in the cabin… we have tracked metal at my studio and a lot of rock n’ roll, a lot of loud guitars… but real metal, not that much. So, it was a blessing to have it there and be able to have a chance to be a part of something exciting and different…”
 
Randy Blythe offers, “[Dez] was like, do you want to sing “Ghost Riders” with me and John Carter Cash and I was like absolutely! Who wouldn’t want to? It was a lot of fun… I sat there and sweated and screamed… it was a good time!”

From the opening seconds of Hank3‘s”Country Heroes” onward, Outlaws ‘Til The End: Vol. 1is simply one of the most invigorating records the band have made yet. More importantly, these evocative, irresistible songs have all been wholly rebuilt from the ground up, powered by the classic DEVILDRIVER sound and embellished with Fafara’s unmistakable feral roar. Outlaws ‘Til The End: Vol. 1 was produced, mixed and recorded with Steve Evetts (Dillinger Escape Plan, Every Time I Die, Sepultura, The Cure), and co-produced by DevilDriver guitarist Mike Spreitzer. The album was mastered by renowned engineer Alan Douches.
