Device - Penance (Official Audio)

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.

David Draiman is my all time favorite vocalist FUCKING EVER!!! His vocals are so unique and stand out among all other vocalists. Keep doing what you do, David. Haters hate what they can't Imitate.

For me David is what makes Disturbed !! It's his unique vocals.  AS much as I loved Mike's double bassing and awesome skin skills, and the rest of the band's skills on guitars - the reason I am now a massive Device fan is simple - David Draiman.

Damn that voice after David says ''When everything around me gives that strong feeling i love this song.

[gmman]

David needed to do this, he had an itch the members of Disturbed couldn't scratch. I love his new stuff and hope there will be more.

Girlfriend: I'll do anything for you
Me: CAN YOU MAKE THE NIGHTMARES GO

[TastyKibble]

In the perfect dark, a botticellian angel exists
The elusive partner puts her key in my hand
A fairly simple gesture, shrouded in evil
As she distorts, it becomes easy to understand
Lost in her piercing eyes
As everything around me, dies

[Chorus:]
Well, can you make the nightmares go away
Can you pull the demon from inside?
Will penance make the nightmares go away?
And save me from this endless night

In the choking dark, I try to move, I'm unable
A hundred thousand moving creatures, tickle my flesh
I feel the heat, it's getting harder to breathe...
I feel the panic taking hold, for I'm beginning to understand.
The only way I'll be saved
Is if someone breaks into my grave

[Chorus]

Don't need it, don't want it
No more sedation, no more sedation
Don't need it, don't want it
Eradicate this endless aching inside
[x2]

[Chorus x2]

Regardless of Whether Dave is singing with Disturbed or Device, his vocal ability is just amazing. Especially when live he gets the crowd going. :)
