===''The Fury of Our Maker's Hand'' (2005β2006)=== The band returned to the studio in 2005 to record their follow-up to ''DevilDriver''. The album was produced at Sonic Ranch Studios, a {{convert|1400|acre|km2|sing=on}} [[pecan]] ranch, {{convert|40|mi|km}} away from [[El Paso, Texas]]. The band members wanted to be isolated while recording the album so they could focus solely on the music, as friends, family, managers and girlfriends were constantly interrupting them. Roughly 30 songs were written which were narrowed down to 15 by the band. The 15 songs were then played for producer [[Colin Richardson]] who wanted to begin [[tracker (music software)|tracking]] immediately. The name of the album was thought of by Fafara who believed that ''[[The Fury of Our Maker's Hand]]'' refers to the "storm" his life has been the past 10 years, "You have your maker's hand and I have my maker's hand and we both living in our fury, the fury of our maker's hand. It explains my life".<ref name="Soundscan report"/> The album was released on June 28, 2005, and debuted on the [[Billboard 200|''Billboard'' 200]] chart at number 117, with sales of 10,402 in its first week.<ref name="Soundscan report">{{cite web|url=http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=38915 |title=Soundscan Report: Cky, Megadeth, Devildriver, Darkest Hour, Throwdown - Blabbermouth.net |publisher=Roadrunnerrecords.com |date=July 6, 2005 |access-date=November 23, 2015 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110606223528/http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=38915 |archive-date=June 6, 2011 }}</ref> The album also debuted at number 1 on the [[Top Heatseekers]] chart.<ref name="billboard-1"/> Johnny Loftus of [[Allmusic]] described the album as "a severe turn away from the falter of their first album" and said that the band made their "true debut the second time around".<ref name="The Fury of Our Maker's Hand">{{cite web |title=The Fury of Our Maker's Hand - Allmusic review |author=Loftus, Johnny |website=Allmusic |url={{Allmusic|class=album|id=r781295|pure_url=yes}} |access-date=October 27, 2007}}</ref> Dom Lawson of ''[[Kerrang!]]'' gave the album a positive review describing the album as a "fresh and exhilarating approach to modern metal".<ref>{{cite magazine|magazine=Kerrang! |url=http://www.roadrun.com/artists/Devildriver/showphoto.aspx?photoID=10838 |title=Kerrang DevilDriver Review Scan |access-date=December 6, 2007 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071013050654/http://roadrun.com/artists/Devildriver/showphoto.aspx?photoID=10838 |archive-date=October 13, 2007 }}</ref> The band toured extensively in support of the album, which included shows in the United States, Europe, and Australia in support of bands such as [[In Flames]], [[Fear Factory]], and [[Machine Head (band)|Machine Head]].
