"Vilify" is the first single from American industrial metal band Device's debut album Device.
Contents |
David Draiman, the lead singer of Disturbed, first announced his side project Device in May 2012. Device release its first single on February 19, 2013, for radio and digital download.[2] A snippet of the song was first made available on the Australian iTunes Store as a 90-second preview, and the full version has since leaked online.[3] The album and the song were given Parental Advisory labels for the band's use of explicit language in both.
Rick Florino of Artist Direct calls "Vilify" "punchy, potent, and powerful," and describes Draiman's voice as "both haunting and hypnotizing as he oscillates between a soaring melody and pummeling groove." Florino says Device doesn't sound like other bands and has the power to "pave the way for the future." "Vilify" was featured on Loudwire's Top 20 Songs for the week of February 24 through March 2 at No. 20.[4]
The accompanying video was released on February 19.[5] It depicts the band performing in a mostly dark environment with flashes of blinding white light as an android-like creature appears to be born. A behind the scenes video for the music video was released on February 18, 2013.[6]

A song is a single (and often standalone) work of music intended to be sung by the human voice with distinct and fixed pitches and patterns using sound and silence and a variety of forms that often include the repetition of sections. Written words created specifically for music or for which music is specifically created, are called lyrics. If a pre-existing poem is set to composed music in classical music it is an art song. Songs that are sung on repeated pitches without distinct contours and patterns that rise and fall are called chants. Songs in a simple style that are learned informally are often referred to as folk songs. Songs that are composed for professional singers are called popular songs. These songs, which have broad appeal, are often composed by professional songwriters, composers and lyricists. Art songs are composed by trained classical composers for concert performances. Songs are performed live and recorded. Songs may also appear in plays, musical theatre, stage shows of any form, and within operas.
