David Draiman of Disturbed, and ex-Filter guitarist Geno Lenardo recently collaborated together to construct Device. The album takes strands from hard rock, industrial, and electronica, and as a result, Device's self-titled debut album for Warner Bros. Records is a focused, fierce, and fiery new machine.
It all started while the Grammy Award-nominated multiplatinum powerhouse Disturbed was on hiatus, Lenardo reached out to Draiman to collaborate on a song for the Underworld: Awakening soundtrack in late 2011. As soon as the singer heard the music, he was both intrigued and inspired. The duo then cut "Hunted" in Chicago. Even though the track didn't ultimately make the final soundtrack album due to circumstances beyond their control, Draiman urged that they hold on to it and continue writing music. Soon, they had an entire album's worth of material.
Upon finishing the record, Draiman enlisted Evanescence drummer Will Hunt and Dope and Rock of Ages guitarist Virus. Both Hunt and Virus jumped at the chance to be a part of this powerhouse trio. The three comprise the touring incarnation of Device.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this song. The whole album is great, but I think this is my favorite. It speaks to me in a way no song has in a very long time.

Trinittie Smrfina same this and villify and hunted for me

[@TheHumdinger711]

Masterfully eerie. Mr. Draiman certainly knows how to haunt his listeners...

[@bccr13]

Loving all the tracks so far. Can't wait to hear the rest of them.

[@ALBERTWESKERZERO]

Man, if David and Manson got together and did a song, it'd most likely be my favorite song in the world.

[@Conshabi]

Amazing! All of the revealed songs so far are just outstanding. Love the fusion of the guitar riffs and electronica and of course the one of a kind voice of David. And the fact that the song is inspired to some extent by Marilyn Manson makes it even greater! Looking forward to hearing the rest of the songs!

[@jc11regnier]

"anything with nightmares" LOL!

[@imdisturbed4eva]

REALLY LOVE THIS SONG AND THROUGH IT ALL!!!!!

[@happyhobojake]

Best song you ever did. Disturbed or Device

[@locosychocrazy1]

Badass song. My favorite so far. It's heavy and has kind of a dark feel to it. Sounds good.

[@Ir0nF1st924]

yeah, im waiting for him to bring back something "Believe" style. he really put a lot of emotion into that album

[@Crosshill]

I'm kinda glad that David decided to take a break from Disturbed. These songs from Device has the same quality as Disturbed, but with a completely different feel to it. Penance is on my top three list together with Vilify and You Think You Know

[@creyn68]

Device is going to blow the f&*$ing house up a new slice of the Collaboration of the minds of rock gods!!!!

[@palepinkrose4346]

Only one more week!!!

[@ryanpatrick7144]

I can't wait to hear David with Serj Tankian.

[@M6Alex6961992]

I want to hear War of lies , please, anyway when the whole album is like this 3 songs before then well done for the FIRST ALBUM OF DEVICE . Hopefully second album of Device , - this Year , would be freaking Awesome . :) .

[@Accel155]

i was extremely impressed by device i mean i love disturbed but i think device is just as good, i like this kind of music has meaning behind it even if i don't understand many of them, i like the more rugged feel to the songs, makes the music feel more like the thoughts of the singer, all peoples thoughts are slightly bumpy and different at certain points.

[@kamilpk1]

First thing that came into my mind was Kratos and his nightmares :D

[@ghostKurt]

a collabo with Manson would have been awesome..

[@megadethmetallicafan]

The song makes me think of Ghost Rider, cause he uses " the penance stare."

[@ravenpicks]

It's growing on me. I lkie Virus. But look at the irony Down with the Sickness, Infection, are two Disturbed songs and now David is working with virus.

[@AADisturbedWCARSS]

Listen to octane on Sirius xm they've played always a lot of disturbed avenged sevenfold and device

[@thrrax]

If you change a few words here and there, the song could be about a guy getting dumped, and struggling to understand why and trying to cope with it, nightmares and dark thoughts dragged along.

[@III-le8oy]

except that's fucking stupid

[@josephburns3440]

song is killer, love hearing david talk about the meanings. so stoked the album is finally out! smarturl(dot)it/deviceitunes

[@Ir0nF1st924]

all your belief cannot absolve your sin!

[@28jander]

Oh sure, can I get a unicorn too? Maybe a free TARDIS? Seriously does anyone actually ever fall for these things? Nothing in life is ever given for free without an agenda.
