DEVICE, the new industrial-style project featuring
DISTURBED frontman
David Draiman and former
FILTER guitarist
Geno Lenardo, will release its first single,
"Vilify", in early February. The band's full-length debut will follow in the beginning of April via
Warner Bros.. Other songtitles set to appear on the CD include
"You Think You Know",
"Recover",
"Hunted" and
"War Of Lies".
DEVICE is currently working on a video for
"Vilify" with renowned director
P.R. Brown, who has previously collaborated with such artists as
MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE,
John Mayer,
Alicia Keys,
Carrie Underwood,
Prince,
AUDIOSLAVE,
MÖTLEY CRÜE and
SIXX: A.M. Draiman revealed the existence of the project last March, saying it would be in the vein of industrial acts like
NINE INCH NAILS and
MINISTRY. He later announced that
Lenardo was joining the group, although further members' identities have yet to be unveiled.
DISTURBED went on an open-ended hiatus in 2011, with
Draiman saying at the time that all four members wanted some time to pursue other endeavors. "We've got other things that each of the band members wanted to pursue individually, outside of
DISTURBED," he said. "There's other businesses we have, there's other interests. We've got futures hopefully to help cultivate for our families and our children, and they can't all revolve specifically around
DISTURBED."
DISTURBED has not indicated when it plans to return, although all four members say they're likely to come back.
Aside from
Draiman,
DISTURBED bassist
John Moyer has branched out recently by joining
ADRENALINE MOB, a new group also featuring ex-
DREAM THEATER and
AVENGED SEVENFOLD drummer
Mike Portnoy.
