DevilDriver: Strike and Kill Tour

DevilDriver are playing Come and Take It Live on Wednesday, August 19, as part of their Strike and Kill Tour. It's a mid-week date, so if you're planning to be there, keep in mind it's a Wednesday night in the middle of August.

For those who know the band, the tour name Strike and Kill gives you a good sense of the night. They're a groove-metal act, so the set is built around heavy, driving riffs and a steady, head-nodding pace. It's the kind of show where the songs lean on the rhythm as much as the guitar work, and the energy usually stays high from start to finish. If you've seen them before, you know the drill: it's a loud, aggressive set that doesn't let up.

If you're coming to this as your first DevilDriver show, that's exactly what you're getting. They've spent years in the metal scene, and this tour is another stop on the road. The Strike and Kill tour is the framework for the night, and the set will draw from their catalog, so you'll hear the heavier side of what they do. It's a straightforward metal show—no bells or whistles, just the band on stage playing their material.

Tickets are $43.38 in advance, and that goes up to $48.54 if you wait until the day of the show, so it's a few dollars cheaper to grab yours ahead of time. The show is at Come and Take It Live in Austin, and it all goes down Wednesday, August 19.
