The online Beast E-Team created by Daniel Wells and Sean Smith was mostly responsible for crashing Roadrunner Records systems on January 10, 2011, when "Dead to Rights" was released for download.Ī second track, "Coldblooded" was posted on January 28. The first single, "Dead to Rights", was released on January 10, 2011. The special edition also includes the band's documentary You May Know Us from the Stage and official music videos spanning DevilDriver's career thus far.

"It's been a beast of a year and a half, and it's still going," he added. If you liked The Last Kind Words, this is like that on steroids and crank, driving a Buick Skylark 200 miles an hour straight to Vegas." "I felt like I was waking up and experiencing a moment of clarity that brought out all these pissed off, negative emotions," Fafara said of making the album. "The record is extreme," vocalist Dez Fafara told Revolver magazine. Beast was recorded at Sonic Ranch studios in Tornillo, Texas and was produced by Mark Lewis.
