Device - Close My Eyes Forever feat Lzzy Hale (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.

Device was a killer group. Wish it comes back

David Draiman and Lzzy Hale together in one song... just WOW

[thedavid]

I love the contrast between Lizzy Hale's voice and David's, the first time i heard it i got a tingiling feeling up my spine!

[MythicArchetype]

This song is brilliant. Both Lzzy and David perform this cover extremely well. I'll be listening to this for a long time.

[Laynie]

Props to David and Lizzy, they did a great job with this cover. I think Ozzy and Lita would be proud!!

[thallowich]

both versions have impact in their respective time periods. Having witnessed both, neither one is better than the other. Both kick ass.

[John.Skelton]

DUDE! 😳 WTF?!?! WHY AM I ALWAYS THE LAST ONE TO FIND OUT ABOUT SONGS LIKE THIS!!! THIS IS F*CKING AMAZING!🤘

[DemonsxXxHeart]

I don't know what I'm more shocked at... the fact that David and Lzzy are singing in a song together, or the fact that they did a cover of my FAVORITE FUCKING OZZY OSBOURNE SONG!!!
God... I don't know whom I like more right now. David and Lzzy or Ozzy and Lita...

[werthebrowl]

I love David Draiman, and I love Lzzy Hale, my heart rate just tripled. This can't be healthy...I have been listening to this song for nearly 3 years now and it still makes my heart pace faster than usual.

[EposVox]

I'm only just discovering this and I fucking love it!

[darthnihilus]

The original will always have a place in my heart, but this is amazing. They take a classic and elevate it beyond what it was during its height

[TraciSoloGrayWitch]

I love this song and its meaning no matter who sings it. Wether its Ozzy and Litta or David and Lzzy. So worth listening to no matter what. 👍

[tarripin]

This collaboration is a amazing. I never would have thought David's voice would do so well with this classic song. For all of you hating just remember you will never be able to touch this level of genius.

[SeanSnyder]

Holy crap... I got chills as soon as I heard Lzzy's voice.

[DavidWray]

Seeing David & Lzzy preform this song was the highlight of RockFest KC!

[blackleafarcade]

I wish I could hit the like button a million times. David Draiman has always been such a huge inspiration to me, and the fact the he teamed with Lzzy freakin' Hale to do this is just amazing.

[MiriOhki]

The original is one of my favorite songs of all time. And I think Dave and Lizzy did it justice. I was shocked when I saw it was on the album, and will be getting it ASAP.

[cdwwg]

I will never understand why people compare a cover to an original. This was made from inspiration and was incredibly modernized. If not for the lyrics, it'd basically be two entirely different songs with hardly any similarities. That's David's style, taking something great, using it as inspiration, and trying to see what he can personally turn it in to. If you tried saying "The original song sucked, yours is way better!" to him, he'd probably call you an idiot for thinking bashing another revolutionary artist is a good compliment towards his music.

[GlaswegianBR]

Wrote this on my GF's account when i was very high. so let me continue it. Draiman does not think, in any way he is better than Ozzy. Ozzy is one huge inspiration for David, and he wanted to show that. Not every band covers songs to beat it. it's more to show the love and passion for the song. to release the feeling and excitation that it brings..
That is what a true cover should be. It's not a competition... It's love

[vbcoder]

Oh my god. This is beautiful. I've never heard Device, before, but I'm a die hard Disturbed fan, so I decided to give it a try.
