David Draiman Talks About New Disturbed Album

posted Apr 18, 2005 at 10:16 PM by CorrosiveMind. (67 Comments)

DISTURBED frontman David Draiman recently told Launch Radio Networks that the overriding emotion on the band's upcoming third album is anger. "A lot of the songs on this record, they seem to fall into one of two categories: they're either relationship-oriented and from an angry standpoint, or they're politically oriented from an angry standpoint. It seems to be either one of those two veins," he explained.

Songtitles set to appear on the still-untitled CD include "Hell", "Decadence", "Monster", "10,000 Fists" and "Deify". The band has recorded 13 tracks, including a cover of "Land Of Confusion", the 1986 pop hit by GENESIS. DISTURBED's only other cover, "Shout" by TEARS FOR FEARS, appeared on the band's 2000 debut disc, "The Sickness", after which singer David Draiman said the band would not record any more remakes. But Draiman recently told MTV.com, "I know I said I would never do another cover, but I guess I lied. Just wait until you hear it. We took the synth beat out and riffed it up and chunked it up so it's heavy as f***. Basically, we took all the pop out, and what's cool is that the lyrics are so appropriate for today's times."

That isn't their only cover other than "Shout" They covered Metallica's "Fade to Black" on their Music as a Weapon II tour last year. But that cover never made it to a studio album.

So... you wanna tell us about your precious "nu-metal" bands... that's fine... but don't expect to post ANYTHING on this site without feedback! I like some nu-metal... but you might be interested in knowing that quite a few of the bands on your list aren't f**king "nu-metal... you've got some, but you've also got some rap, grunge, and pop rock/alternative...

Since when is Metallica nu-metal?

If you consider Metallica "nu-Metal" you have issues. Without Metallica you wouldn't have any of those bands.

my opinion on that list...
drowning pool used to be good, now they suck because of the sh**ty vocalist.
icp shouldnt be considered musc
a7x is horrible
H.I.M. is just annoying...idk, i just cant stand them
but you also have some pretty good bands... nin,nirvana,killswitch,mudvayne, etc...

I was also amazed to see Cold alot, and its ok Broken, from your list I can tell you like them. By the way why on earth put Incubus and Chevelle ?

Although the Clincher is a good song.

Shinedown to an extent, Submersed's one song (Hollow) and Future Leaders of America.

By why on earth did you put - Chevelle, Incubus
