'''Disturbed''' is an American [[metal]] band from [[Chicago]], [[Illinois]], formed in 1996 when musicians [[Dan Donegan]], [[Steve Kmak|Steve "Fuzz" Kmak]], and [[Mike Wengren]] hired singer [[David Draiman]]. Since the band's formation, they have sold over 11 million albums worldwide, making them one of the largest grossing rock bands in recent years.<ref name="disturbedsuccess">{{cite web |url=http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/news/video_news/disturbed_success_disturbing_to_some.html |title=Disturbed Success Disturbing To Some}}</ref> The band has released three consecutive studio albums that have debuted at number-one on the ''[[Billboard 200]]''; only six other rock bands have achieved this.

==History==
===Early years as Brawl (1994–1996)===
Before vocalist [[David Draiman]] joined Disturbed, they were known as Brawl, a band whose lineup consisted of [[Singing|vocalist]] Erich Awalt, [[guitarist]] [[Dan Donegan]], [[drummer]] [[Mike Wengren]], and [[bassist]] [[Steve Kmak|Steve "Fuzz" Kmak]]. Awalt left the band shortly after the recording of a demo tape and the other three members went on advertising for a singer. They posted an ad in the local music publication in [[Chicago, Illinois]], called the "Illinois Entertainer".<ref name="M.O.L. DVD">{{cite DVD-notes |title=M.O.L. |titleyear=2002 |director=Nathan "Karma" Cox |format=booklet |publisher= |location= |publisherid= |year=2002}}</ref> Draiman had answered the ad after going to twenty other auditions that month.<ref name="M.O.L. DVD" /> As guitarist Dan Donegan commented on Draiman, "You know, out of all the singers that we had talked to or auditioned, he [Draiman] was the only singer who was ready to go with originals. And that impressed me, just to attempt that".<ref name="M.O.L. DVD" />

With regards of Draiman being the new singer for the band, Donegan said, "After a minute or two, he just starts banging out these melodies that were huge...I'm playing my guitar and I'm grinning from ear to ear, trying not to give it away that I like this guy, you know, because I don't want to, you know...[say] 'Yeah, we'll give you a call back. We'll, you know, discuss it.' But I was so psyched. Chill up my spine. I'm like, 'There is something here'." As drummer Mike Wengren commented, "We clicked right off the bat."<ref name="M.O.L. DVD" /> Draiman then joined the band in 1996 and the band was re-named Disturbed. When asked in an interview why he suggested to name the band Disturbed, Draiman said, "It had been a name I have been contemplating for a band for years. It just seems to symbolize everything we were feeling at the time. The level of conformity that people are forced into was disturbing to us and we were just trying to push the envelope and the name just sorta made sense."<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.concertlivewire.com/interviews/disturbed.htm |title=David Draiman of Disturbed Interview&nbsp;— One on One |publisher=concertlivewire.com |date=February 19, 2005 |accessdate=March 6, 2009}}</ref>

===''The Sickness'' (1998–2000)===
{{Main|The Sickness}}
After re-naming the band, Disturbed started to record several demos and played in live shows. The band eventually signed with [[Giant Records (Warner)|Giant Records]]. In 2000, the band released its debut album, titled ''[[The Sickness]]'', which launched the band into stardom. The album peaked at number twenty-nine on the ''[[Billboard 200]]''<ref>{{cite web |url=http://allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=11:a9fuxqrkldfe~T5 |title=Disturbed > Charts & Awards > Billboard Albums |publisher=Macrovision |accessdate=March 6, 2009 |work=Allmusic}}</ref> and it has sold over four million copies in the United States since its release.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/BLABBERMOUTH.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=101575 |title=Disturbed Interviewed on KISW's 'The Men's Room'; Audio Available |publisher=Roadrunner Records |date=July 25, 2008 |accessdate=March 6, 2009 |work=Blabbermouth.net}}</ref> Before joining [[Marilyn Manson (band)|Marilyn Manson]]'s 2001 European tour, bassist Steve Kmak was unable to play with the band due to a shattered ankle, caused by falling out of a fire escape outside Disturbed's rehearsal hall in Chicago.<ref name="fuzzinjury">[http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1437929/20010112/disturbed.jhtml Disturbed Bassist Won't Make European Trek Due To Injury]</ref> He took the fire escape to exit the building while the elevator was being used to move their equipment downstairs. After a successful operation, doctors highly recommended that Kmak skip the tour to avoid more severe damage to his foot.{{Citation needed|date=July 2009}} But he did perform with the band on January 11 and 12, 2001 at Disturbed's show in Chicago.<ref name="fuzzinjury" /> During the European tour, [[Marty O'Brien]] replaced Kmak until he was able to tour again.

===''Believe'' (2001–2003)===

In an interview with Launch Radio Networks, Disturbed vocalist [[David Draiman]] stated that twenty songs were recorded for the album, but only fourteen made it to the final track listing.<ref>http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=39268</ref> The remaining songs included "Hell", which was included in one of the two "[[Stricken (song)|Stricken]]" singles;<ref>http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=33:3v5yxqekldke</ref> "Monster", which was included as an [[iTunes]] pre-order bonus for ''Ten Thousand Fists''<ref>http://www.spawn.com/news/news6.aspx?id=12687</ref>, then later included on the ''Ten Thousand Fists'' Tour Edition; "Two Worlds", which was also included on the Tour Edition of ''Ten Thousand Fists''; and "Sickened", which was included in the "[[Land of Confusion#Disturbed cover version and video|Land of Confusion]]" single.<ref>http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=33:gc5wxqy0ldhe</ref>

In 2006, a European tour was scheduled but had been moved twice due to Draiman having troubles with severe acid reflux, which affected his voice.<ref name="tourpostponevoicetroubles">{{cite web |url=http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=49933 |title=Tour gets postponed because of Draiman having trouble with his voice.}}</ref> Draiman commented, "I had been taking [[Lansoprazole|Prevacid]] for about four years and my body built up a resistance to it, to the point where it wasn't doing anything anymore...I had a night of drinking in London followed by a full day and night of drinking on a day off in Dublin, because what else is there to do in Ireland but drink? That, coupled with a show where I had monitor problems, and I pretty much trashed my voice."<ref name="draimanstatementvoiceproblems">{{cite web |url=http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1513924/20051116/disturbed.jhtml |title=Draiman statement about voice problems}}</ref>
Later that year, Draiman underwent surgery for a deviated septum which affected his voice.<ref name="draimanstatementvoiceproblems"/> It was successful, and ever since then, Draiman has limited his drinking on the road.<ref name="draimaninterview">{{cite web |url=http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/23565422/ |title=David Draiman interview 3/16/08}}</ref>

Draiman became involved in the music [[file sharing]] controversy by publicly speaking out against the [[Recording Industry Association of America|RIAA]]'s lawsuits against file sharing individuals, despite the fact his record label is a member of the RIAA. Draiman commented, "This is not rocket science. Instead of spending all this money litigating against kids who are the people they're trying to sell things to in the first place, they have to learn how to effectively use the Internet. For the artists, my ass...I didn't ask them to protect me, and I don't want their protection."<ref name="draimanonillegaldownloading">{{cite web |url=http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=13496 |title=Draiman on illegal downloading}}</ref> Draiman also told NYRock: "[I'm] Very positive about the internet, Napster. I think it's a tremendous tool for reaching many more people than we ever could without it. When you release music you want it to be heard by people...Nothing is going to do that better than Napster. I can't tell you how many kids have come up to me and said, 'I downloaded a couple of tunes off Napster and I went out and bought the album.'...I don't really make money off of record sales anyway."<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.nyrock.com/interviews/2001/disturbed_int.asp |title=Interview with David Draiman of Disturbed |publisher=NY Rock |date=July 2001 |author=Gabriella |accessdate=March 6, 2009}}</ref>

In late 2006, Disturbed headlined another one of their own tours named Music as a Weapon III; the bands [[Flyleaf]], [[Stone Sour]], and [[Nonpoint]] toured with them.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.Net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=59809 |title=Disturbed Frontman on Upcoming Tour: 'It's Going to Be One Big, Crazy Rock Show' |work=Blabbermouth.net |publisher=Roadrunner Records |date=October 5, 2006 |accessdate=March 6, 2009}}</ref> Disturbed completed the first leg of their Music as a Weapon III tour in late 2006.<ref>http://www.smnnews.com/2006/10/05/disturbed-music-as-a-weapon-iii-dates-released/</ref> Soon after, Draiman stated that there was not going to be a second leg to the tour and that instead the band was going off the road to start working on their fourth studio album.<ref name="nosecondlegformusicasaweapontour">{{cite web |url=http://www.therockradio.com/2007/01/no-second-leg-for-disturbeds-music-as.html |title=No second leg to "Music as a Weapon III" tour}}</ref>

The band began their [[Music as a Weapon Tour#Music as a Weapon IV tour dates|Music as a Weapon IV]] tour in March 2009 and it ended in late May. The tour, also dubbed a "festival", featured the bands [[Killswitch Engage]], [[Lacuna Coil]], and [[Chimaira]] on the main stage.<ref name="MAAWIV">{{cite web |title=Disturbed planning new 'Weapon' for March |url=http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=104561 |date=2008-09-11 |accessdate=2008-09-30 |publisher=[[Blabbermouth.net]]}}</ref> The band released a second cover version of [[Faith No More]]'s song "[[Midlife Crisis]]" on the album ''[[Covered, A Revolution in Sound]]'', which also included bands such as [[Mastodon (band)|Mastodon]], [[The Used]], and [[Avenged Sevenfold]]. This cover of "Midlife Crisis" was originally recorded for ''Indestructible'', but the band decided not to include it on the album.

In an earlier interview, David Draiman briefly talked about the band's fifth studio album, stating that the album will be as dark as ''Indestructible'', if not darker.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=108748 |title=Disturbed Frontman Talks Engagement, Next Single |work=Blabbermouth.net |publisher=Roadrunner Records |date=November 12, 2008 |accessdate=March 6, 2009}}</ref> The band stated that they will take a few months off and then song-writing for the next album will most likely begin in late 2009.<ref>http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=122149</ref> In another interview with Mike Wengren and John Moyer, it was stated that, judging by Draiman's feelings on the last few years of his life, that Disturbed's new album will be aggressive, angry, and "hard-hitting". Wengren also said that the new album may be released in the [[summer]] of 2010.<ref>http://sonicexcess.com/disturbed_interview.html</ref> Additionally, Draiman has confirmed that a [[DVD]] is in the works, but no title or release date has been decided on yet.<ref>http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/BLABBERMOUTH.NET/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=122149</ref> In a July 2009 interview with FaceCulture, Draiman stated that the upcoming DVD will be "chronicling the past decade of Disturbed's existence. It's meant to show our growth over the course of the decade." He also talked more about the upcoming fifth album: "A couple of them [song riffs] that [[Dan Donegan|Danny]] has come up with are really amazing. But they're just little pieces...it's not even in two-three part progression [yet]."<ref>http://www.faceculture.nl/artist.php?id=633</ref>

==Mascot==
Disturbed's mascot, named The Guy<!-- Not Morbus -->, has been featured as a fully animated character in the [[music video]] for "Land of Confusion" and has appeared on the covers of two of Disturbed's albums, ''[[Ten Thousand Fists]]'' and ''[[Indestructible (Disturbed album)|Indestructible]]''. The Guy<!-- Not Morbus --> was originally just a drawing of a face with a large grin, as seen on the back of the ''[[The Sickness]]'' album and later in the music video for "[[Land of Confusion#Disturbed|Land of Confusion]]". After being just a drawing, The Guy<!-- Not Morbus --> has become the official mascot for the band, fully animated by ''[[Spawn (comics)|Spawn]]'' creator [[Todd McFarlane]].

<blockquote>"We probably have too much melody going on or we're not quite as turbulent or caustic. While I really love that type of music, it's not what we try to do. If we have to place things in context, we're more [[hard rock]] than [[Heavy metal music|heavy metal]] these days."<ref name="ultimateguitar">{{cite web |url=http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/news/interviews/disturbed_see_themselves_as_being_a_three-decade_spanning_band.html |title=Disturbed See Themselves 'As Being A Three-Decade Spanning Band', which is a big thing to say |accessdate=2006-12-29 |last=Magner |first=Howie |date=November 24, 2006 |publisher=UltimateGuitar.com}}</ref></blockquote>
<blockquote>"The secret is that we were never really part of any particular trend, although we definitely benefited from the popularity of what was called nu-metal at the time," Draiman says. "We never had the stereotypical attributes that those bands had. We don’t rap; there’s no turntable involved; no fusion in that respect. We play, in my opinion, classic metal. [[Black Sabbath|[Black] Sabbath]], [[Iron Maiden|[Iron] Maiden]], [[Judas Priest|[Judas] Priest]], [[Metallica]], [[Pantera]]: These are the bands that made us want to play.<ref name="Orlando Sentinel">{{cite web |url=http://blogs.orlandosentinel.com/entertainment_music_blog/2009/04/disturbed-indestructible-more-than-an-album-title.html |title=Disturbed: Indestructible more than an album title |accessdate=2009-04-09 |last=Abbott|first=Jim |date=April 9, 2009 |publisher=Orlando Sentinel.com}}</ref></blockquote>
[[Allmusic]] reviewer Bradley Torreano described the album ''[[Believe (Disturbed album)|Believe]]'' as "taking the sort of jump that their heroes in [[Soundgarden]] and [[Pantera]] made after their respective breakthrough records".<ref name="allmusicreview">{{cite web |title=''Believe'' album review |url=http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=10:aifyxqyald0e}}</ref> He also described the title track as moving "from a brutal chug to a sweeping chorus that suddenly stops in its tracks and turns into a winding [[riff]] that recalls the work of vintage [[James Hetfield]]".
''Believe'' is also considered by several critics to be a step away from the [[nu metal]] sound featured on ''[[The Sickness]]'', moving towards a more [[hard rock]]/[[heavy metal music|heavy metal]] sound that was continued in their following albums.<ref>http://www.411mania.com/music/album_reviews/822/Disturbed-%E2%80%93-Ten-Thousand-Fists-Review.htm</ref><ref>http://www.blender.com/guide/new/50905/believe.html</ref><ref>http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,350620,00.html</ref><ref>http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=10:0nfpxzqjldse~T1</ref>

According to frontman David Draiman on the band's home documentary ''[[M.O.L.]]'', the lyrics that he writes are inspired by life experience, perception, and actual experiences of his own, and he stated that he likes to present his ideas with cryptic lyrics.<ref name="M.O.L. DVD" /> These lyrical themes range from the [[Judeo-Christian]] ideology of [[Heaven]] and [[Hell]], [[domestic abuse]], [[suicide]], [[relationships]], [[war]], to more [[fantasy]]-like themes, such as [[vampirism]] and [[demons]].
