Biography

United States (1986 – 1987)

There are several bands using this name:

1) Device is an industrial metal band started by David Draiman, frontman of the hard rock group Disturbed. Draiman was approached by Geno Lenardo, former guitarist of Filter, and together they started to work on new material. The two started work on a debut album in June 2012. The result of those sessions, Device, is scheduled for release on April 9, 2013. The first single “Vilify” was released to radio ahead of the album on February 19, 2013.

2) Device was the brainchild of 80s songwriter wunderkind Holly Knight. Knight was a prolific songwriter in the United States’ 80s, penning hits for Pat Benatar (Love Is A Battlefield and Invincible), Animotion (Obsession and I Engineer), Tina Turner (The Best and Better Be Good to Me) and Aerosmith (Rag Doll).

Holly Knight (vocals, keyboards and bass) founded the band in 1986 with Paul Engemann (lead vocals) and Gene Black (guitar). They released their one and only album 22B3 in the spring of 1986. It produced a Top 40 single in the U.S. with Hanging On a Heart Attack, which peaked at #35. The band’s second single Who Says peaked at #79. Both of these songs were promoted by music videos which garnered MTV rotation and both were released as 12” singles with remix and dub versions which received club play. A third and final single When Love Is Good was released while the album peaked at #73 on the Billboard Top 200 Albums chart. Mike Chapman produced the album.

    Death Metal? Post-Hardcore? Screamo?? The tags may the most retarded things on Earth, but this band is actually pretty good. Despite how gay they look in every picture.

    "What idiot tagged this as death metal?" - There's a Brazilian death metal band with the same name who have so far put out a single album back in 2010. BEFORE this overblown diva began this abomination.

    Horrible band. I am a Disturbed fan, but David Draiman shows his lack of depth and ingenuity with Device. It's exactly the same sound as Disturbed, just with a worse band behind him trying to play shit electronic rock. Asylum was terrible, and David carried what little was left in the tank into this project. The cameo's could not be worse either. Do everyone a favour Draiman and fucken retire already. I have lost any respect I had left in this guy.

    I think Device is very much influenced by Korn, especially in their last released album "the path of totality". There's a lot of electronic music on Device. For those interested, compare between Hunted for Device, and "Chaos Lives in Everything" for Korn.

    "they need to work a lot to reach disturbed's sound" yeah right, but the case here is that they didn't want to sound like Disturbed.

    Okay so I have a question. Not trying to troll. It's a serious question. So Disturbed goes on indefinite hiatus and claims they're taking a break due to "the decline of rock and metal" which is really about as real as the war on christmas. Even if that was a thing, no offense, but Disturbed would be part of the problem with the decline of radio rock or w/e. So, suddenly, David decides he's not disgusted with what's "going on" anymore and makes Disturbed with synths?
