1) Disturbed is an … Read Full Bio ↴There are several acts by the name of Disturbed;
1) Disturbed is an American alternative metal/hard rock band from Chicago, Illinois, formed in 1994. The band includes vocalist David Draiman, bassist John Moyer, guitarist/keyboardist Dan Donegan, and drummer Mike Wengren. Former band members are vocalist Erich Awalt and bassist Steve Kmak.
The band has released six studio albums, five of which have consecutively debuted at number one on the Billboard 200. Disturbed went into hiatus in October 2011, during which the band's members focused on various side projects, and returned in June 2015, releasing their first album in four years, Immortalized, on August 21, 2015. They also recorded and released one live album, Disturbed: Live at Red Rocks on November 18, 2016, which was recorded on August 18, 2016 at Red Rocks Amphitheater in Morrison, Colorado, located about 10 miles west of Denver, Colorado. Their seventh studio album, Evolution, was released on October 19, 2018.
Before David Draiman joined Disturbed, guitarist Dan Donegan, drummer Mike Wengren, and bassist Steve "Fuzz" Kmak were in a band called Brawl with vocalist Erich Awalt. Before changing their name to "Brawl", however, Donegan mentioned in the band's DVD, Decade of Disturbed, that the name was originally going to be "Crawl"; they switched it to "Brawl", due to the name already being used by another band. Awalt left the band shortly after the recording of a demo tape; the other three members advertised for a singer. They posted an advertisement in the local music publication in Chicago, Illinois, called the "Illinois Entertainer". Draiman answered the advertisement after going to twenty other auditions that month. 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".
With regard to Draiman being the 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." Draiman then joined the band in 1996 and the band was renamed 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.
Disturbed headlined the 2018 Rock Fest, along with Godsmack and Incubus. The band announced via social media in early January of 2018 that they had entered the studio to begin recording their next studio album. In June 2018 lead guitarist Dan Donegan and bassist John Moyer confirmed with sources that the new album is complete, with 100% of the songs finished it is on to just mixing and mastering. Band members also posted a picture via Instagram together at a dinner party in celebration of completion of the recording process. The band's first album in over 3 years and the band’s first album in over 8 years to have bassist John Moyer being involved in.
The album, Evolution was released on October 19, 2018. On August 16, 2018, the lead single, titled "Are You Ready" was released. On September 21, 2018, the album's second single, titled "A Reason to Fight" was released.
Disturbed's mascot, named "The Guy", was originally just a drawing of a face with a large grin, as seen on the back of the album The Sickness. The original drawing of The Guy was then edited using a digital distorting program. After the original image had been distorted three times The Guy became the official mascot for the band. Later, he would be drawn as a full figure by artist David Finch.
Classified as a heavy meta or hard roc band, Disturbed is also regarded by some critics as nu metal and alternative metal. When asked about die-hard heavy metal fans not finding Disturbed heavy enough, Draiman at one time stated:
"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 these days. 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 ... 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. Sabbath, Maiden, Priest, Metallica, Pantera: these are the bands that made us want to play."
Allmusic reviewer Bradley Torreano described the album Believe as "taking the sort of jump that their heroes in Soundgarden and Pantera made after their respective breakthrough records". 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 and heavy metal sound that was continued in their following albums.
According to frontman David Draiman on the band home documentary M.O.L., the lyrics that he writes are inspired by actual experiences of his own, and he stated that he likes to present his ideas with cryptic lyrics. These lyrical themes range from the Judeo-Christian concept of Heaven and Hell, domestic abuse, suicide, insanity, relationships, war, to more fantasy-like themes, such as vampirism, werewolves and demons.
They have often cited their influences as Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, Metallica, Pantera, Iron Maiden, Led Zeppelin, Queensryche, Nirvana, Alice in Chains and Soundgarden.
Guitarist Dan Donegan uses guitar tunings Drop C, Drop C# and Drop B (also occasionally Eb), which are lower tunings than regular E standard. These lower tunings allow for a heavier sound and quicker chord changes in Donegan's riffs. Donegan also uses subtle electronic effects, which the rest of the band refers to as "The Danny Donegan Orchestra".
2) Late 80's Thrash band who released the album Disturbing the Peace in 1988.
"Cool crossover/thrash metal. The music takes off quite a few times, especially when it comes up with contrasting mixtures, like "Comatose", which blends heavy doomy riffage with brutal death-tinged outbursts; there are also some undeveloped, but intriguing attempts at more technical thrash (the instrumental "Brain Deth", the sophisticated technical "Productive Intercourse Serial Killer"), spiced with some jolly, rock'n roll hooks. The shorter numbers are pure unbridled hardcore ("Kill 'Em"), but here come the laid-back, soft moments ("Bought & Sold", "Die Die Die"), and things are well balanced. "Evil Sensations" is a pleasant surprise near the end, being energetic thrash/crossover, with a nice technical twist, followed by the melodic, but interesting instrumental "Astronomically", leaving very good impression, partially ruined by the aggressive hardcore closer "What The Fuck". The band disliked the popularity that a novelty song like WTF produced, and it WAS a fan favorite but largely dropped from their live set in the 1990s. Due in part to the lyrics and how the band felt about the song. The band was formed in Minneapolis, MN but toured extensively all over, including the stomping grounds of the later Disturbed; Chicago! They played Jack Koshick's Milwaukee MetalFest in it's earliest days and supported Sepultura and Pestilence on tour, as well as Death and Sadus, and local legends IMPALER. Earl passed away in 2008, he is missed by all who knew him, and his MySpace page remains testament.
3) A 70s UK punk band.
4) OC ReMixer Mark Dillon.
Enough
Disturbed Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(We've chosen to want everything)
We don't want men, who want everything
We've stolen in this suffering
And we told them to want everything
But use caution in what you believe
And we're haunted, deny everything
And they're broken, and lost everything
It's so much easier to leave
Take their hope away
Take their life away
Feeling nothing left inside
When your own have died
And there's no more pride
When your soul is frozen
It's had enough
When your heart is broken
A thousand times
With every moment
Is that enough?
We are don't want men, we take everything
I'm taunted in this suffering
And our forces surround everything
Make it impossible to see
Take their hope away
Take their life away
Feeling nothing left inside
When your own have died
And there's no more pride
When your soul is frozen
It's had enough
When your heart is broken
A thousand times
With every moment
Is that enough?
Haven't we suffered enough now, haven't we suffered enough now
Haven't we suffered enough damage's then I can bear
Haven't we suffered enough now, haven't we suffered enough now
Haven't we suffered enough damage's then I can bear
Did they even tell the reason why
Countless sons and daughters sent to die
Can you even comprehend the pain
When your own have died
And there's no more pride
When your soul is frozen
It's had enough
When your heart is broken
A thousand times
With every moment
Is that enough?
When you're out of time
In this lullaby (In this lullaby)
When your soul is frozen
It's had enough (It's had enough)
When your heart is broken
A thousand times (A thousand times)
Will that be only?
Is that enough?
The song "Enough" is a powerful and emotional track that delves into the theme of suffering and the struggle for survival. The lyrics touch upon various issues ranging from societal pressure to war and loss. The opening line "We don't want men, we want everything" seems to be a reflection of our modern-day culture where individuals are not satisfied with just one thing but want to have it all. The song critiques this mindset and calls for caution in what you believe, warning that it can lead to haunting and brokenness.
The chorus focuses on the pain that individuals go through when they suffer the loss of loved ones. It questions if all the pain and suffering that one must endure is really enough to break them down. The line "take their hope away, take their life away, feeling nothing left inside" highlights the depth of despair that one can experience when going through hardship. The lyrics also touch on the theme of war and the loss of lives that come with it. It questions the reasons behind sending countless sons and daughters to die, leaving behind broken hearts and shattered families.
Overall, the song captures the agony and torment of individuals going through hardship, whether it's societal pressure, personal loss, or war. It sends a powerful message that urges people to be cautious of what they choose to believe and to fight for what is truly important.
Line by Line Meaning
We don't want men, who want everything
We desire not men, but the entirety of things
We've stolen in this suffering
We've taken what we want in our agony
And we told them to want everything
We informed them that they should strive for all
But use caution in what you believe
However, be careful about what you put your faith in
And we're haunted, deny everything
We're tormented and deny everything
Controlling in this suffering
We have power amidst this misery
And they're broken, and lost everything
Others are shattered and have lost all
It's so much easier to leave
It's simpler to depart than face these burdens
Take their hope away
Steal their aspirations
Take their life away
Deprive them of life
Feeling nothing left inside
Now they're empty inside
When your own have died
Once your own kin has perished
And there's no more pride
Leaving no remnants of respect
When your soul is frozen
When your soul is devoid of emotions
It's had enough
It's reached its limit
When your heart is broken
When your heart is bruised
A thousand times
Repeatedly
With every moment
Alongside each moment
Is that enough?
Is that ample?
We are don't want men, we take everything
We do not desire men, we capture everything
I'm taunted in this suffering
I'm tormented amidst this agony
And our forces surround everything
Our troops encircle everything
Make it impossible to see
Rendering it impossible to perceive
Haven't we suffered enough now, haven't we suffered enough now
Haven't we suffered excessively now?
Haven't we suffered enough damage's then I can bear
Haven't we faced unbearable damage?
Did they even tell the reason why
Did they even offer an explanation?
Countless sons and daughters sent to die
Endless children dispatched to perish
Can you even comprehend the pain
Can you even fathom such agony?
When you're out of time
When time has run out
In this lullaby (In this lullaby)
Within this soothing melody
Will that be only?
Will that be sufficient?
Is that enough?
Is that ample?

[Intro]
[Verse 1]
We don't want them
We want everything
And we've stolen, in this suffering
And we've told them
To want everything
But use caution in what you believe
And the haunted
Deny everything
Controlling in this suffering
When they're broken
And lost everything
They’re so much easier to lead
[Pre-Chorus]
Take their hope away
Take their life away
Leave them nothing left inside
[Chorus]
When your own have died
When there’s no more pride
When your soul is frozen, is that enough?
When your heart is broken
A thousand times
With every moment, is that enough?
[Verse 2]
Without warning
We take everything
Undaunted in this suffering
The dark forces
Surround everything
And make it impossible to see
[Pre-Chorus]
Take their hope away
Take their life away
Leave them nothing left inside
[Chorus]
When your own have died
When there’s no more pride
When your soul is frozen, is that enough?
When your heart is broken
A thousand times
With every moment, is that enough?
[Bridge]
Haven’t they suffered enough now?
Haven’t we suffered enough now?
Haven’t they suffered enough
The damage more than they can bare
Haven’t they suffered enough now?
Haven’t we suffered enough now?
Haven’t they suffered enough
The damage more than I can bare
[Verse 3]
Did they even have a reason why?
Countless sons and daughters had to die
Can you even comprehend the pain?
Tell me when your
[Chorus]
Own have died
When there’s no more pride
When your soul is frozen, is that enough?
When your heart is broken
A thousand times
With every moment, is that enough?
[Chorus/Outro]
When your own have died (Own have died)
When there’s no more pride (No more pride)
When your soul is frozen, is that enough? (Is that enough?)
When your heart is broken
A thousand times (A thousand times)
With every moment, is that enough?
