Device was David Draiman's side project, announced in May 2012, and "Vilify" was its opening shot: the lead single from the American industrial metal band's debut album, released on Warner Bros. in February 2013 for radio and download. The Disturbed frontman produced it with Geno Lenardo, once the lead guitarist of Filter, and both the song and the album carried a Parental Advisory sticker for the language.
A 90-second preview turned up first on the Australian iTunes Store before the full track leaked online. Rick Florino of Artist Direct heard something punchy and potent, with Draiman's voice swinging between a soaring melody and a pummeling groove, and reckoned Device sounded like nobody else. Loudwire slotted it at 20 on its weekly Top 20 Songs.
