Fafara was brought up to "question everything" and was exposed to Italian witchcraft through his grandparents. The band's logo is the Cross of Confusion, which has existed for thousands of years and refers to "question religion, question authority, question everything around you". Fafara thought it was appropriate because it sounded "evil", and thought the term "suits his life". The term "devil driver" refers to bells Italian witches used to drive evil forces away. Fafara's wife had a book by Italian witchcraft author Raven Grimassi on Stregheria, and came across the term "devil driver". The members compiled a list of roughly two hundred names to go for a more original approach. Another problem was that the band's label, Roadrunner Records were unable to secure copyright. The band was originally known as Deathride, but later changed their name to DevilDriver because Fafara felt there were too many bands with that name a band in Norfolk, Virginia, and a bicycle racing team. Guitarist Evan Pitts met Fafara in a restaurant and gave him his phone number for a jam session, while John Boecklin who originally played 2nd guitar then went to playing drums, met Fafara at a bar. "I met Evan we struck up a friendship and started jamming," said Fafara. 1.6 Winter Kills, lineup changes and hiatus (2012–2014)īiography Deathride era, self-titled debut (2002–2004) įafara hosted several barbecues after moving from Orange County to Santa Barbara and would jam with musicians he met, which led to the formation of the band.
