Device

Those who follow Device and Disturbed frontman David Draiman know that the rocker is well-studied on his Jewish history. Now he's using his celebrity to help bring the story of holocaust survivor Leah Johnson to a wider audience.

It's been a little while, but Avenged Sevenfold are about to ramp up their activity. The band has scattered festival dates this summer, but they've just announced a full-scale 2013 European trek.

Disturbed singer David Draiman is currently finding success with his new band Device, whose single 'Vilify' recently topped the Active Rock chart. Meanwhile, Disturbed guitarist Dan Donegan and drummer Mike Wengren are taking off with their new outfit Fight or Flight, as bassist John Moyer continues to work with Adrenaline Mob.

At this weekend's Rock on the Range festival, Device's David Draiman brought up a special guest to sing 'Close My Eyes Forever.' He was joined by Maria Brink of In This Moment to sing the duet from Device's self-titled debut album (watch video above).

2013 turned out to be a memorable year for the Carolina Rebellion festival, but not in the way organizers had hoped. Expanding to two full days at a new venue (Charlotte Motor Speedway) with a high profile lineup had anticipation and expectations at a high level. Unfortunately, Mother Nature did not cooperate.

The circle of life is something that's definitely on the mind of Disturbed and Device frontman David Draiman these days. The vocalist experienced the highs and lows that come with both life events within the span of the past week.

Megadeth are bringing their 'Gigantour' festival trek back in 2013 and frontman Dave Mustaine confirmed that David Draiman's new band Device will be part of the run this year.

It was a big week to head online or to the record store if you were a hard rock fan, and Volbeat, Stone Sour and Device all saw positive results for their new records.

David Draiman has now taken the next step in establishing his new band, Device, as the group played their first-ever live performance Wednesday night in Mobile, Alabama.

As David Draiman prepares for the release of Device's first album next week, he's once again heading online to let fans know that his commitment to Disturbed remains intact while his passion and excitement for Device is equally as strong.

One of the more intriguing tracks on Device's upcoming debut album is the cover of 'Close My Eyes Forever,' in which frontman David Draiman shares vocal duties with Halestorm singer Lzzy Hale. Now, the song has been unleashed for everyone to hear. Check it out below, as well as some insight Draiman gave Loudwire into recording the duet with Hale.

Device's debut album is becoming more and more of an "event" release, given all of the special guests on the record. That being said, David Draiman saved a pretty cool extra to make sure the deluxe edition of the album is intriguing as well.
