Disturbed Frontman Selling House

According to the Los Angeles Times, DISTURBED frontman David Draiman has put his Northridge, California castle, with its turrets, gargoyles, dragons and griffins, on the market at close to $2.9 million. Draiman purchased the residence for $2.5 million in 2005.

The six-bedroom, seven-bathroom home, a former nondescript tract house that was transformed in 1992 by former owners with a fascination for medieval themes, has barrel-vaulted halls, a great room with 24-foot-high ceiling, theater chandeliers and secret doors behind bookcases.

There is a 6,800-square-foot main house, plus a guesthouse with a full kitchen, a tennis court, a pool with a lap lane and an exercise room with an office.

It seems that the only missing feature is a moat, but there is a koi pond, a wooden bridge, a waterfall and a large sculpture of a dragon in the frontyard.

Earlier this year, the 34-year-old frontman took a helicopter to a New Zealand winery, had a private cruise in an $8-million yacht and went scuba diving in Australia.

DISTURBED has set "Indestructible" as the tentative title of its new album, which is slated for release in the spring. According to David Draiman, the follow-up to 2005's "Ten Thousand Fists" — which has sold close to 1.5 million copies in the U.S. alone — is "dark, very dark," lyrically as well as musically. In fact, Draiman believes it's much more complex and foreboding than anything they have done during their 10 years together.

"Dude, I've had a fucked-up couple of years," he told MTV.com. "All kinds of horrible stuff went on. Bad breakups; I've had my garage burn down with all of my vehicles in it; I had a bad motorcycle accident that took off a whole bunch of skin from my forearm — just bad luck. It's been a fierce past couple of years, and all kinds of shit has gone down. This is therapy, man — I need to get this shit out of me."
