On paper, it would be hard to find a more tempting project than Device, steered by Disturbed’s frontman, one of the most respected and recognizable vocalists in his generation. It could be its promise of efficient, catchy industrial metal – the frontman himself mentions juicy inspiration sources like Nine Inch Nails, Ministry, KMFDM, Front 242, or Rammstein. It could also be the deluge of prestigious guests: Lzzy Hale, Serj Tankian, Geezer Butler, Tom Morello, M. Shadows and Glenn Hughes. It could many other things. The albums’ packaging kindles so much curiosity and desire that it could do with no advertisement at all.
But in actual facts, this album was made possible almost out of chance, because of the bond shared by David Draiman and former Filter member Geno Lenardo. The two men wanted nothing more than to “write something good”, without any “playing plan” or “strategy”. By insisting on this, Draiman gives us the key to comprehend this album simply, and therefore as well as possible. For how many works of art have been ruined by excessively high expectations?
At any rate, Draiman is proud to introduce his new project, the first without his mates from Disturbed in sixteen years. And this might well be the key to the revival of Disturbed. It’s impossible not to think of the latter while listening to Device – after all, could Draiman sing anything and not make the listener think of Disturbed? But starting a new project from scratch has probably helped him get away from certainties gained with his main band, and maybe even revive some spontaneity. At least that’s what transpires when he talks about this first album.
