You can read the band’s statement below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Uplifting news here, always sad to part with a brother, but in this case we could not be more proud\u2026
Austin D\u2019Amond has been offered a very lucrative spot at his sobriety clinic to head up the program, helping to get people sober, and we are very proud of the steps he\u2019s taken in his own life to get sober and also to help others with their struggles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dez says,
\u201cWorking with Austin was fun, but I\u2019m very glad for the next chapter of his life where he will be helping people.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Austin adds,
\u201cI\u2019m very grateful for my time playing for DevilDriver and the experience was priceless. These friendships will last forever, and I have nothing but love for all my brothers. I wish them many more years of giving the fans the most necessary SHRED!!!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sad to see him go, but as he steps away from touring, he\u2019s bettering his life and the lives of others – so Austin, we salute you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, DevilDriver welcomes to the fold on drums, Davier Perez!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Davier Perez says,
\u201cTo say that I\u2019m honored to be part of the DevilDriver family is an understatement!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regarding Davier joining DevilDriver, Dez says,
\u201cOnce I saw him play, I asked around and spoke with him and heard his excitement as well his long term commitment level. I knew he was our guy!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
