DEVILDRIVER - Sail (Official Lyric Video) | Napalm Records

Taken from the album "Winter Kills"

Devildriver overlord Dez Farara will readily acknowledge the basic tenet of heavy metal is to achieve the essence of power and complete freedom. At the most base level, it's a concept that can manifest itself in the form of a high-speed joyride or defeating one's antagonists, be they Frank Frazetta-rendered warriors or the guy/girl who was looking at your lover too long at the biker bar and now has a concussion and a collection of broken pool cues. On Devildriver's sixth release, Winter Kills, the band certainly didn't skimp on the riffage, the idling-dragster tempos or the sheer sonic drive that makes them one of heavy music's respected outfits. Winter Kills is all about the creation of flashover moments to empower people with hope and affirmation—or at the very least, the inspiration for people to create great work and engineer their own meaningful universes. This ain't no tired Tony Robbins posi-posturing or Joel Osteen's cartoony, cash-and-Christ posing. The world got more oppressive, and Devildriver are stepping up their game to keep hope alive in the most bone-powdering, cochlea-bleeding, neck-snapping way possible.

There's nothing wrong with the original, but there's everything right with the Devildriver version.

It's no secret that metal can make any song their own. I mean sure the person that originally wrote this pours his heart out, but when you have someone literally scream it out, you can actually feel the pain. This is how I feel anyway, living with PTSD, Metal saved my life. It was the only thing I could listen to and feel okay. Great job DevilDriver

[binnins]

OMG! How am I only finding this version now?
Am a metal head and Droogie for life but got way into electric music when my daughter was born and they dont always mix well but is a work of effin art right here.

[shanams]

This is by far my favorite song. I listen loud enough to feel it in my bones.

[napalmrecords]

What's your favourite metal cover version of a radio song? We definitely nominate Sail by DevilDriver!

[zips]

This is probably the best cover ever. Thank you DevilDriver 

And I will NOT hate on Awolnation's version. It's a great fuckin song, but DevilDriver took it into the heavens.

[lisa-gtbf]

This was the first contact with metal for me four years ago. Then I wasn’t really a metal fan. Now I am a big metalhead . 🤘

[blazeandcyrus]

They just took a decent song and elevated it to levels beyond what was imagined... so good

[excelsiorfilms]

This song, both DevilDrivers and the original helps me be in touch with my dead grandpa. I was raised on a sail boat for about 15 years. I was also an Iraq war vet so the anxiety lines really hit me hard. Love this song.

[tfsg]

How did this "sail" under my radar. This is sick!

[asermostafa]

My favourite song on the radio meets my favourite genre of music. Wicked.

[necrokempo]

This is my 7th time listening to this today, does anybody else listen to it more than once in a day?

[peterpayne]

This is a great cover, I honestly wish I could get this stormy ocean background without the pictures. I could sleep to that on a TV with the sound of the sea too.

[Katalyste]

I like how simple but powerful this video is. I also like when they shake "Baby" on the screen

[nathanolander]

was not prepared for such a badass cover lol, this is sick

[CaptainCinnabar]

I actually like this more than the original

[reereephillipsbeauty]

One of the best covers I have ever heard! \m/

[TankTorva]

Converted a few friends into metal with this gem

[leodowneyjr]

I feel like I'm on a viking war ship! Dam these guys are massive I'm blown away by how great they are. I want this guitar amp. I wanna learn this cover. it hits me in the heart and subconscious. I never put stuff on repeat. can't believe what I'm hearing.

Heard this on Pandora at work yesterday. Scared a customer when my buddy, boss and I were moshing to this in a grocery isle.
