After months of talking about it, Disturbed is finally beginning to ready their new material for release. The band's members have posted photos from a recent music video shoot, with guitarist Dan Donegan noting that the first single from the new album is coming very soon. "Time to make a music video!" said Donegan in his post. "First single off the new album coming in the very near future."
Disturbed vocalist David Draiman recently told the crowd at a Camden, NJ show that the band's new record is indeed "heavy as fuck." Well, mostly – there are some tender moments too. "And it's about 90 percent heavy as fuck," said Draiman at the show. "Now there's still 10 percent of caring, loving goodness — 10 percent. Hey, for everybody that fell in love with 'The Sound Of Silence' cover, I figured, you know… But the rest of it? Sickness, Ten Thousand Fists-era Disturbed, for sure. You excited about that? 'Cause I'll tell you we're really fucking excited about it."
Draiman recently compared the new material to The Sickness and Ten Thousand Fists (again), calling it "pummeling and rhythmic and aggressive and anthemic and poly-syncopated."
"We've come up with some unbelievable new material that is just pummeling and rhythmic and aggressive and anthemic and poly-syncopated — Disturbed 101, everything people fell in love with us for in the first place. It has really been a wonderful past couple of weeks, especially after two years of being apart, not being able to really create. You can create over Zoom or some shit like that but it's not the same, that inspiration in the moment in front of each other — the magic, energy and electricity that occurs — nothing really compares to it. It was a welcome rush back into the system. Fucking amazing. It's sounding somewhere between The Sickness and Ten Thousand Fists, for sure."
