===''The Last Kind Words'' (2007β2008)=== [[Image:Devildriver 2007 Wolverhampton CivicHall.JPG|thumb|left|DevilDriver Live at Wolverhampton Little Civic in 2007]] The band reunited at Sonic Ranch Studios while they recorded their third studio effort, ''[[The Last Kind Words]]'', which was released in June 2007. The album's first single "Not All Who Wander Are Lost" was directed by [[Nathan Cox]] for free. Cox's career began when he created Coal Chamber's music video "[[Loco (Coal Chamber song)|Loco]]", so he re-paid a favor to Fafara and the band. Cox now directs music videos for bands such as [[Linkin Park]] and [[Korn]].<ref name="DevilDriver Vocalist Dez Fafara"/> The first song to be previewed was "Horn of Betrayal" which debuted on Sirius Satellite's Hard Attack channel on May 16, 2007. ''The Last Kind Words'' entered the German charts at number 92,<ref name="DEVILDRIVER: 'The Last Kind Words' Enters German Chart At No. 92">{{cite news |title=DevilDriver: 'The Last Kind Words' Enters German Chart At No. 92 |work=Blabbermouth.net |date=June 29, 2007 |url=http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=75792 |access-date=October 28, 2007 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071224084025/http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=75792 |archive-date=December 24, 2007 }}</ref> and peaked at number 48 on the [[Billboard 200|''Billboard'' 200]], with over 14,000 copies sold.<ref name="KORN, DEVILDRIVER, ENTOMBED, FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH First-Week Sales Revealed">{{cite news |title=Korn, DevilDriver, Entombed, Five Finger Death Punch First-Week Sales Revealed |work=Blabbermouth.net |date=August 8, 2007 |url=http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=78340 |access-date=October 30, 2007 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070930181338/http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=78340 |archive-date=September 30, 2007 }}</ref> DevilDriver promoted the album at the 2007 [[Download Festival]] at [[Donington Park]] alongside headliners Linkin Park, [[Iron Maiden]], and [[My Chemical Romance]]. A [[Guinness world record]] was attempted by the band for the "largest circle pit" at the festival. Guinness responded to the query and denied the request stating they receive over 60,000 requests a year and there is no way to physically define where a circle pit starts and ends. They considered the proposal fully in the context of the subject area and stated that "our decision is final in this matter".<ref name="DEVILDRIVER Attempts 'Largest Circle Pit' GUINESS (sic) Record; Video Available ">{{cite news |title=DevilDriver Attempts 'Largest Circle Pit' GUINESS (sic) Record; Video Available |work=Blabbermouth.net |date=June 13, 2007 |url=http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=74586 |access-date=October 28, 2007 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071224084742/http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=74586 |archive-date=December 24, 2007 }}</ref><ref name="DevilDriver @ Download 2007">{{cite web |title=DevilDriver @ Download 2007 |author=Bruce Wayne |publisher=Youtube.com |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ULgU7_lYA38 |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211212/ULgU7_lYA38| archive-date=December 12, 2021 |url-status=live|access-date=October 28, 2007}}{{cbignore}}</ref> The band also appeared at 2007's [[Ozzfest]].
