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.

Disturbed Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She's just another lost soul
About to be mine again
Leave her; we will receive her
It is beyond your control
Will you ever meet again?
Devin, one of eleven
Un-whole as a little child
She was taken and then forsaken
You will remember it all
Let it fill your mind again:
Devin lies beyond this portal
Take the word of one immortal!
Give your soul to me for eternity
Release your life to begin another time with her
End your grief with me; there's another way:
Release your life; take your place inside the fire with her
Sever now and forever
You're just another lost soul
About to be mine again
See her; you'll never free her
You must surrender it all, if you'd like to meet again
Fire for your desire
As she begins to turn cold for the final time
You will shiver till you deliver
You will remember it all
And it fill your mind again
Devin lies beyond this portal
Take the word of one immortal!
Give your soul to me for eternity
Release your life to begin another time with her
End your grief with me; there's another way
Release your life; take your place inside the fire with her
Take me away, yeah!
Give your soul to me for eternity
Release your life to begin another time with her
Rid your grief with me; there's another way
Release your life; take your place inside the fire with her!

Un-whole as a little child
She was taken and then forsaken

"Into the Fire" by Disturbed is a song that tells the story of an evil being who wishes to take possession of a lost soul named Devin. This evil being assures the listener that Devin is not going to heaven, and that the being is about to retrieve her. The being appears to be driven to collect Devin, and commands those who would try to save her that it is beyond their control. The being seems convinced that Devin will meet the listener again and offer a warning that they would be wise to follow.
Devin is described as one of eleven who had been broken when she was a child. The being is shown to be aware of Devin's history and seems to use her tragic past as a way to manipulate her. The being promises a future with Devin and uses persuasive language to separate her from the grief that has been holding her back. The listener is coerced into giving up their soul to this evil being for an eternity with Devin so that they can be reunited in the fire.
The lyrics in the song are compelling and intense, and the story told through them is chilling. It shows how grief and loss can be something that can be a powerful manipulative tool for those who are willing to take advantage of others. The song is full of emotion and vivid imagery, and the listener can't help but be swept up in the story that is being told.

For two whole years, I’ve thought about getting back into drinking.
Every time I listen to this song, it gets me thinking about my mothers drinking and how I’ve had to wake up to her yelling at me for no reason at 3:00am.
Leaving me mentally broken down, and nearly cutting her out of my life. Permanently.
Every word she said, completely seared to my brain. I can even remember when she legitimately told me to kill myself at 18. Then again at 19.
I just picture myself just yelling at my mom in anger and throwing the bottle at a wall. The amount of verbal abuse was almost enough to push me to the very brink of Suicide.
@Hellwalker993
I think Disturbed will forever be my favorite band
It used to be:
1. Imagine Dragons
2. Logic
3. Eminem
4. Rob Zombie
5. Nirvana
6. Seether
Imagine dragons and rap songs were years ago now though. 4-6 have been with me for only about 4 months.
Disturbed is just the best I've ever seen. David is the best singer/vocalist I've ever heard. Nothing could ever beat it, he is way above the other 6

@kcrongmei6317
Metal guys usually look aggressive and rebellious. But in reality, they are the ones who care about others, talk about important issues of life through their songs, love fans by often interacting with them personally. That makes metal unique
@irvinscottprovinglifeandlo4830
I'm in no band but i listen to a variety of metal and partly because of that I'm looked at like a monster, doesn't help I'm 6 foot n 300lbs. I am a nice guy but I'm always looked at like I'm about to rip them apart n it couldn't be further from the truth, don't get me wrong tho if a man deserves it I'm not above beating him down but in general i keep to myself n even try to stay out of peoples way. Life itself blows but I'm still clawing n scratching through it.

Metal music isn’t scary. Some of these talents are the most gentle, caring people who’ve been there…Every song comes from someone’s heart and real life experiences/traumas. If you really “hear” it, you’d notice, it’s therapeutic.
If you’re reading this…You are not alone.
