Trust No One

Released in 2016, Trust No One marks a significant chapter for DevilDriver, being the first album to feature a substantially overhauled lineup including guitarist Neal Tiemann and drummer Austin D'Amond. Despite the personnel changes, the album maintains the core groove metal identity established by founding vocalist Dez Fafara. The recording is notable for its high-fidelity production, which emphasizes the technicality of the rhythm section - particularly D'Amond's relentless double-bass work. Critics, including those at AllMusic, noted the album's consistency and its ability to blend melodic hooks with the band's established 'California Groove' sound. It stands as a testament to the band's resilience, successfully navigating a transitional period without sacrificing the intensity or the rhythmic complexity that defined their early career. The album peaked at number 43 on the Billboard 200, confirming its commercial viability within the global metal scene.
