Disturbed put out their most recent studio album, Asylum, in 2010, but for the near future the Chicago quartet are taking a break. In the meantime, lead singer David Draiman has plans for 2013 that have put him on our list of the year's most-awaited rock albums. On Monday, he revealed more about this side project, which is called Device.
Device will hit stores on April 9. The album is a collaboration between Draiman and Geno Lenardo, who used to be a part of Filter. As opposed to the alt-metal of Disturbed, Device is supposed to be industrial rock in the vein of Filter or Nine Inch Nails. "It's futuristic rock" is how Draiman described it in a press release.
If Device is meant to be futuristic, it's definitely populated with some wily veterans -- like Serj Tankian, Geezer Butler and Tom Morello -- lending a hand. (Halestorm's Lzzy Hale also will appear on the record.) No one knows how long the Disturbed hiatus will last, but we do know for certain when Device is coming.
