Alright, since we’ve all pretty much strayed from the classics, I’ll go with a band that’s a little more contemporary.
Oh yes, Disturbed. They formed in Chicago during 1996. They’re overall musical genre is constantly being debated. Some say they’re nu metal, others say they’re alternative metal. Words don’t mean anything to me. I say they’re as hardcore a metal band as Avenged Sevenfold, Mudvayne, Chevelle, and many others. Their first album, The Sickness, launched the band into stardom. It also spawned the familiar track Down With the Sickness, a song still receiving radio time as well as being used in many movies. The album was certified 3x platinum.
Believe was they’re second studio album, and it debuted at #1. Although it was not as in-your-face as their first album, it was still very popular with fans. It’s definitely worth listening to if you ask me. Even if you don’t ask me I’d still recommend it. Singles off the album include Prayer, Liberate, and Remember. They’re next album was Ten Thousand Fists which returned to their former smash mouth style. Although it’s not one of my favorites, it still debuted at #1 sporting the songs Ten Thousand Fists, Stricken, and Land of Confusion. A fourth album is expected to be released in July of this year.
I promise you this band is worth your time and money. With their original sound they really manage to rise above the rest and distinguish themselves from other metal bands. Wanna know more? Check out www.disturbed1.com! Peace!
