Winter Kills is the sixth studio album by American heavy metal band DevilDriver. It was released on August 27, 2013, via Napalm Records. It is the only DevilDriver album to feature new bassist Chris Towning who was a touring member from 2012 until joining permanently in February 2013. Recording of instrumental parts took place at Audiohammer Studios in Sanford, Florida and the album was produced by Mark Lewis. The album is available in several different configurations which can include bonus tracks or a live DVD. It would be DevilDriver's last album with founding members John Boecklin and Jeff Kendrick before both of them left the band in October 2014.

"Sail" is a cover of a song by indie band Awolnation. Frontman Dez Fafara was turned on to the original by his then-teenage sons.
