Disturbed (Music)	comment	Disturbed is a four-piece Heavy Metal/Hard Rock band formed in Chicago in August 1996.The band's debut album The Sickness, released in 2000, shot them into stardom, produced a number of hit songs (namely "Down with the Sickness"), and earned them a devoted fanbase called the Disturbed1s. The band later made a name for themselves after playing second stage of the Ozzfest tour in 2000, headlining the U.S tour in 2001 alongside the likes of Slipknot, Linkin Park and Marilyn Manson, and then again in 2003. In 2001, they created their own tour (a small event at the time), the Music as a Weapon (MAAW) tour, its name taken from a lyric in the song "Droppin' Plates". Acts included in the tour throughout its existence included Drowning Pool, Alter Bridge, As I Lay Dying, Chevelle, Flyleaf, Chimaira, Trivium, P.O.D., Nonpoint, Stone Sour, Lacuna Coil, In This Moment and Killswitch Engage.On September 17, 2002, they released their second album, Believe, which went straight to #1 (see below) and was lauded by critics as the album that broke them from the Nu Metal tag that plagued The Sickness.After MAAW II's last show in Chicago, they fired bassist Steve "Fuzz" Kmak for "personal differences" that they never fully explained. He was replaced with current bassist John Moyer, formerly of the Texas Industrial act The Union Underground, who played bass for the album Ten Thousand Fists, becoming a full member during the band's subsequent tour in support of the album. The album also marked the band's second straight-to-#1 with the song "Stricken" becoming their second Gold single in 2008.Released on June 3, 2008, Their fourth album Indestructible debuted at #1, was fully self-produced, and won them their first Grammy Award nomination for Inside The Fire (which became their third Gold single). During the Indestructible tour, Disturbed participated in the first-ever Mayhem festival alongside Slipknot, Dragonforce and Mastodon, going on to become one of the largest metal festivals in the United States. This tour also marked the most elaborate production quality and sheer scale and that the Music as a Weapon tour had ever seen, leading them to rechristen it the "Music as a Weapon festival". The band's fifth album, Asylum, which the band touted as their strongest body of work yet, was released on August 31, 2010, giving the band some of the best critical approval they'd ever seen.After playing Mayhem and making a number of festival appearancesnote playing the Uproar tour with Avenged Sevenfold, Taste of Chaos with Papa Roach and Buckcherry afterwards, MAAW Fest V with Korn, their second Mayhem fest with Godsmack and Megadeth — which still doesn't account for one-day events like Rock on the Range, Rock am Ring, and Download Festival, the band took an extended hiatus in October 2011, with no continuation of band activities projected anywhere in the near future. On November 8, shortly after announcing the hiatus, the band released The Lost Children, a compilation of their all the non-album material written over the course of their career. In 2012-13, during the course of their hiatus, Moyer joined Super Group Adrenaline Mob, Draiman started an Industrial Metal project known as Device with song-writing handled by himself and Geno Lenardo of Filter, and Donegan started writing with Dan Chandler of Evans Blue, culminating in Fight or Flight, which he invited Wengren to drum for.On June 20, 2015, a video was posted on the band's official Facebook page, showing their mascot, "the Guy", in cryosleep. Over the next two days, two more videos were released showing him waking up, culminating in the band's announcement on June 23 that their hiatus was over and they would be releasing a new album, titled Immortalized. Almost 3 years later, the band revealed their next album, appropriately titled Evolution, with the single "Are You Ready?", with the album released on October 19, 2018.Don't expect to nail down the actual genre of Disturbed very easily, as debates continue to this day. They're generally seen as "something heavy metal and probably some hard rock." You can blame the ambiguity on their Alternative Metal tendencies. Try not to mention them and "nu metal" in the same sentence at any point to anyone — it isn't worth it. For all intents and purposes, they're a rock group.To the group's credit, they're one of the few bands in history to release five straight-to-#1 albumsnote This entails releasing an album which sells enough copies in its first week to debut at the #1 spot. in a row on the Billboard 200 (Believe, Ten Thousand Fists, Indestructible, Asylum, Immortalized), the others being Dave Matthews Band (at six releases since Before These Crowded Streets) and Metallica (everything after The Black Album, making for five). However, the streak died with Evolution, keeping their record at five. Disturbed also happen to be the youngest band to do this.

Disturbed (Music) / int_1282bf4f	comment	No Celebrities Were Harmed: Many fans theorize that one of the background characters in Land of Confusion is modeled after Zakk Wylde. Moreover, the five evil world leaders looks suspiciously like their real-world counterparts at the time (Vladimir Putin, Jacques Chirac, Junichiro Koizumi, Tony Blair). Oddly, only the American leader doesn't look particularly like George W. Bush, despite the band not being shy about using his voice clips in Deify (this may just be a cop-out by Todd McFarlane).

If the name wasn't already an indication, Asylum seems to have out-dimmed Indestructible; with topics ranging from the Nazi Holocaust, corrupt attorneys, miscarriage, global warming, bad relationships and overall deep depression to fantastic/mystical songs about werewolves and succubus demons, it's no sunshine-and-rainbows record.

Disturbed (Music) / int_34f6774c	comment	Concept Album: Draiman has said he thinks the Rock Opera and the concept album is either dead or isn't possible in the age of the single (digital downloading takes convenience in the place of thematics). That being said, most of the albums can be interpreted as having an overarching theme. The concept behind The Sickness was of course "Sickness": the sickness of your thoughts and psychology (Voices, Meaning of Life), your loved ones (Stupify, The Game, Numb), your environment (A Welcome Burden, Conflict, Violence Fetish) and the sickness of the beasts that inhabit society along with the sick society that created them (Down with the Sickness). The album says "No matter how you try to bring me down (Fear, God of the Mind) I am what I am (Droppin' Plates, Want) and you'll never change that (Down with the Sickness again)". The concept behind Believe was of course "Belief": Belief in your passions (Rise), belief in your vices (Intoxication), belief in your justice (Liberate, the title track) and belief in your evil (Breath, Devour). It asks the listener to find something to care about and shout "I'll stand through whatever you throw my way (Prayer) no matter how much it may hurt (Remember, Mistress). I've chosen my path, I'm at peace with it (Bound, Awaken) and I'll always walk forward through it (Darkness). Ironically, the title track is just nearly anti-belief.

This fits in with Draiman's cryptic lyrical style, so he's generally being very blunt when a song name is a phrase (I'm Alive, Just Stop, Leave It Alone, Never Again, Another Way to Die, Inside the Fire, Pain Redefined, etc.)

Disturbed (Music) / int_3d649526	comment	Elemental Motifs: Fire turns up a lot in their lyrics, for anger, burning passion, hell, war, and destruction. On stage, the motif is often underscored with Great Balls of Fire! "Rise": "Inside the Fire." The fire in question is Hell. "You're angered, so am I \ A thousand fires burn" in "Haunted." "Torn": Darkness and shadows. It either contributes to the gloomy atmosphere of their songs or marks Dark Is Not Evil individualists. "Darkness" is a depressive ballad dedicated to David's late grandfather. In "The Night," darkness is freeing and liberating. "A land of darkness from which I cannot return" in "Haunted." "Our dark attire seemed to frighten people away" in "3." "The Infection": "Death approaches on this night" in "Animal." "The Light" from Immortalized tells the listener that "sometimes darkness can show you the light." In "Save Our Last Goodbye," yet another Grief Song, "The shadows of your loss \ Are tearing me apart."

Disturbed (Music) / int_3ff34221	comment	To Hell and Back: A likely unintentional example of this. If you play "Inside the Fire", "Asylum", "I'm Alive", "Hell", and "This Moment"'', in that order, it essentially tells the story of a man who accepts the devil's offer to go to Hell to be with his recently Driven to Suicide loved one, only to realise the devil tricked him, and he's now trapped alone in there without her.

Disturbed (Music) / int_5ade32d1	comment	Metal Scream: "Enough" has probably the closest thing to a death growl Draiman will ever get, the other being his scream in Crucified. Their "Living After Midnight" cover has one near the end. "Never Wrong" contains the first shouty scream heard from Draiman in years, almost as if the band decided to revisit their screamy-er days. The "Sound of Silence" cover subverts this, twice — the song starts as a straight Lonely Piano Piece cover, but it intensifies on a very slow burn'', til Draiman's trademark growl has reappeared by the lyrics "And the people bowed and prayed". The last line, like the original, is soft and subdued again.

The Eye Of The Storm opens the Immortalized album and its title track. It's quite a bit faster and more electronic than Remnants.

Disturbed (Music) / int_8baa9f33	comment	Music Video Overshadowing: Asylum doesn't have that much to do with the song's meaning (which doesn't talk about a literal asylum). This could also be taken as simply a case of All There in the Linear notes. In recent videos it seems as if the director chases Rule of Scary over the song meanings. One egregious example would be The Animal, which is heavily built around the Indonesian lore of the Pontianak, a kind a Vampire similar to a Stringy-Haired Ghost Girl. The song was written primarily from a western perspective in defiance of the Vampire fad (since Draiman has already contributed to that with Forsaken and Devour).

Disturbed (Music) / int_c66f2bb5	comment	Witch Hunt: "3" is about a real one for the West Memphis Three, a group of three heavy-metal-loving teens who were charged with killing three young boys. The evidence used to convict them was flimsy at best, with the lyrics to "3" outright saying that it was because they liked metal that they were convicted.note Thanks to funds raised by the song's release as a single, the West Memphis Three were eventually let free from jail, but those who convicted them suffered no consequences.

His heart monitor becoming a Flatline, a doctor jabs him in the chest with an adrenaline shot (which marks the beginning of Asylum). He immediately awakens laughing like a madman, fights off the doctors, bursts from the ambulance doors in time with the "Release me!" lyric, goes running down the street and walks through a set of asylum doors to appear on-stage to start singing. If you couldn't tell by his presence in the scene that he was going to run away with it, you might have Genre Blindness.

Disturbed (Music) / int_cff53786	comment	Cover Version: The Sound of Silence by Simon & Garfunkel (on "Immortalized"), Land of Confusion by Genesis, Midlife Crisis by Faith No More,note The song was recorded for a Faith No More tribute album that was going to be released spearheaded by Chi from the Deftones which Mike Patton put a stop to because he doesn't want there to be FNM tribute for some reason. There's two versions of the song floating around the internet, one with Fuzz on bass that leaked onto and was floating around file-sharing sites for years and a 2008 remix that many thought would be a B-Side to Indestructible but which ultimately appeared officially on Warner Records' Covered: A Revolution In Sound, Living After Midnight by Judas Priest and most bizarrely I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For (ISHWILF) by U2. They also covered/remade Jim Johnstone's theme for "Stone Cold" Steve Austin into "Glass Shatters". In 2020, they also did a touching version of "If I Ever Lose My Faith in You" by Sting. Live, they've been known to cover Walk by Pantera whenever the Abbot brothers were nearby. Since the death of Dimebag Darrell, they haven't done it since. Interestingly, the group preformed a cover of Cold Gin by KISS in Darrell's honour when the band organized a benifit show for the Abbot family. They performed Fade to Black by Metallica during MAAW II, and during their underground days they would do tool, Korn and Sevendust covers. Some covers aren't necessarily Disturbed covers, but more localized to Draiman, such as a when he went to a Steel Panther (at the time, called Metal Skool) concert, and they (in typical Steel Panther fashion) invited him up on-stage to sing Whole Lotta Love by Led Zeppelin. Another event had the cover group Camp Freddy backing him while he sang Man in the Box by Alice in Chains (with Jerry Cantrell). Down With The Sickness has been covered by Richard Cheese, in Lounge Lizard style. And it is awesome.
