The first single "Vilify" will be hitting airwaves on February 19th, 2013. A music video is already in the works for said single. Here is the finished product:
Track listing for the debut album is as follows:
1. You Think You Know
2. Penance
3. Vilify
4. Close My Eyes Forever (Ozzy Osbourne & Lita Ford cover) (feat. Lzzy Hale)
5. Out Of Line (feat. Serj Tankian, Geezer Butler)
6. Hunted
7. Opnion (feat. Tom Morello)
8. War Of Lies
9. Haze (feat. M. Shadows)
10. Through It All (feat. Glenn Hughes)
A deluxe edition of Device‘s self-titled debut album will come with two bonus tracks; one being a cover of Nine Inch Nails‘ “Wish“, and the other being a b-side titled “A Part Of Me“.
"It started to develop very naturally and organically. Geno is a brilliant songwriter in his own right and a tremendously talented sound designer as far as the electronic palette is concerned. Together, we made this monster. It's not metal. It's got a dark electronic vibe. At the same time, these are big, anthemic, and intensely melodic songs. It's futuristic rock." -Draiman
On "Out of Line," Black Sabbath bassist Geezer Butler conjures a staggering bass groove, while System of a Down vocalist Serj Tankian trades vibrant and visceral vocal melodies with the singer. "Tom Morello's guitar wizardry," as Draiman puts it, casts a spell over "Opinion," and Avenged Sevenfold frontman M. Shadows dives into the shadowy "Haze" as his inimitable wail resounds. Iconic Deep Purple voice Glenn Hughes also makes a cameo on the record's haunting and hypnotic finale "Through It All"-a love letter to Draiman's wife. Meanwhile, Halestorm's Lzzy Hale teams up with Device for an epic cover of the Ozzy Osbourne and Lita Ford classic, "Close My Eyes Forever," which allows both of their voices to reach heavenly heights.
"It has all of the elements that identify this body of work and band. It's an excellent introduction to what Device is. From a lyrical standpoint, it talks about how some people love to make me out to be a horrible guy. They (the haters) brand me as an evil egomaniac with a chip on his shoulder, but that's not who I am. I'm a pretty easy-going, mild mannered guy, and I'm also a very strong-willed and outspoken individual. I'm very passionate about what I believe, and I don't apologize for standing behind those beliefs." -Draiman
More info as it comes in folks. Stay tuned!
MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS, MY BLOOD;
I JUST WANTED TO TAKE A MOMENT TO THANK ALL OF YOU FOR COMING WITH ME ON THIS NEW JOURNEY THAT IS "DEVICE".
I AM ETERNALLY GRATEFUL FOR THE LOVE THAT YOU ALL HAVE FOR DISTURBED, AND I ALSO UNDERSTAND THE DEFENSIVENESS THAT CAN COME WITH ANY THING THAT COULD POTENTIALLY BE PERCIEVED AS A CATALYST TO SOME SORT OF "BREAK UP THEORY", THAT I ASSURE YOU, HAS NO BASE IN THE FIRST PLACE.
IF YOU READ THE DEVICE BIO THAT WAS POSTED ON THE DEVICE FACEBOOK PAGE FACEBOOK/DEVICETHEBAND, YOU WILL LEARN THAT THE WHOLE PROJECT CAME TOGETHER QUITE ACCIDENTALLY, AND I'M VERY GLAD IT DID. I THINK YOU WILL BE TOO.
DISTURBED IS STILL ON HIATUS. A HIATUS IS AN EXTENDED BREAK, NOT "BREAK-UP". WE HAVE FOUGHT LONG AND HARD TOGETHER, ALL OF US, TO MAKE DISTURBED WHAT IT HAS BECOME, AND ARE NOT JUST WALKING AWAY FROM IT. WE ALL NEEDED TO JUST GIVE OURSELVES SOME TIME AWAY FROM IT.
THE EXISTENCE OF DEVICE, DOES NOT IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM, MEAN THE END OF DISTURBED. THEY ARE TWO COMPLETELY SEPARATE ENTITIES, AND I HOLD THEM BOTH IN THE HIGHEST REGARD.
YOU ARE ABOUT TO GET YOUR FIRST TASTE THIS COMING WEEK.
YOU HAVE ALL OF MY LOVE AND RESPECT,
DAVID
