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.
Stupify
Disturbed Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
From the mind of one sick animal who can't tell the difference
And gets stupified
I've been waiting my whole life for just one fuck
And all I needed was just one fuck
How can you say that you don't give a fuck?
I find myself stupified, coming back again
All I wanted was just one fuck
One tiny, little, innocent fuck
And when I feel like I'm shit out of luck
I find myself stupified, coming back again
Why do you like playing around with
My narrow scope of reality?
I can feel it all start slipping, I think I'm breaking down
Why do you like playing around with
My narrow scope of reality?
I can feel it all start slipping away
See, but I don't get it
Don't you think maybe we could put it on credit?
Don't you think it can take control when I don't let it?
I get stupified
"It's all the same", you say, live with it
But I don't get it
Don't you think maybe we could put it on credit?
Don't you think it can take control when I don't let it?
I get stupified
I get stupified
All the people in the left wing, rock
And all the people in the right wing, rock
And all the people in the underground, rock
I find myself stupified, coming back again
All the people in the high-rise, rock
And all the people in the projects, rock
And all gente in the barrio, rock
I find myself stupified, coming back again
Why do you like playing around with
My narrow scope of reality?
I can feel it all start slipping, I think I'm breaking down
Why do you like playing around with
My narrow scope of reality?
I can feel it all start slipping away
See, but I don't get it
Don't you think maybe we could put it on credit?
Don't you think it can take control when I don't let it?
I get stupified
"It's all the same", you say, live with it
But I don't get it
Don't you think maybe we could put it on credit?
Don't you think it can take control when I don't let it?
I get stupified
I get stupified
Tefached

And don't deny me
No, baby now, don't deny me
And darling, don't be afraid
But I don't get it

I get stupified
Look in my face, stare in my soul, I begin to stupify, rah
Look in my face, stare in my soul, I begin to stupify, rah

The lyrics to this song by Disturbed, Stupify, delve into the internal struggle of the singer. The lyrics indicate the frustration that the singer is feeling, as he has waited his whole life for one thing and is unable to attain it. The word "fuck" is used throughout the song, which suggests a sexual frustration or the desperation to achieve something that is being denied to the singer. The phrase "I get stupified, coming back again" suggests that the singer is in a state of shock and confusion, but keeps returning to the source of the frustration, unable to break free from it.
The repetition of the phrase "Why do you like playing around with my narrow scope of reality?" is perhaps the most poignant reflection of the singer's internal strife. The narrow scope of reality could be a metaphor for the denial of the one thing he desires, which is slowly causing him to break down. The rhetorical question seems to be directed at someone, perhaps the object of the singer's desire, who is toying with his reality, causing him anguish.
Overall, the lyrics to Stupify paint a picture of someone who has been waiting for something their whole life, but is unable to attain it. The repetition of the phrase "I get stupified" reflects the frustration and confusion that the singer is experiencing as he tries to make sense of his situation.

Yeah, bringing you another disturbing creation
Introducing another highly unconventional work of art
From the mind of one sick animal who can't tell the difference
Created by an unstable individual who cannot distinguish reality from delusion
And gets stupified
And becomes overwhelmed and confused
I've been waiting my whole life for just one fuck
I've been waiting for something small yet meaningful my entire life
And all I needed was just one fuck
All I required was one tiny bit of satisfaction
How can you say that you don't give a fuck?
How is it possible for you to claim that you do not care at all?
I find myself stupified, coming back again
I'm becoming overwhelmed and lost, feeling like I'm stuck in a loop
All I wanted was just one fuck
All I craved was a small, innocent moment of happiness
One tiny, little, innocent fuck
A minute and unassuming instance of pleasure
And when I feel like I'm shit out of luck
And when I feel like nothing goes my way
I find myself stupified, coming back again
I'm becoming overwhelmed and lost, feeling like I'm stuck in a loop
Why do you like playing around with
Why do you enjoy manipulating
My narrow scope of reality?
My limited view of the world?
I can feel it all start slipping, I think I'm breaking down
I can sense everything falling apart, and I think I'm falling apart too
See, but I don't get it
But I don't understand
Don't you think maybe we could put it on credit?
Is it possible to delay payment?
Don't you think it can take control when I don't let it?
Don't you think it can dominate me if I don't resist?
I get stupified
I become overwhelmed and confused
"It's all the same", you say, live with it
"Everything is alike," you say, learn to live with it
All the people in the left wing, rock
Everyone with left-leaning values, rock
And all the people in the right wing, rock
And all the individuals with right-leaning beliefs, rock
And all the people in the underground, rock
And all the people in the fringe culture, rock
I find myself stupified, coming back again
I'm becoming overwhelmed and lost, feeling like I'm stuck in a loop
All the people in the high-rise, rock
And all the people in urban skyscrapers, rock
And all the people in the projects, rock
And all the people in low-income housing, rock
And all gente in the barrio, rock
And all of the people in the neighborhood, rock
Why do you like playing around with
Why do you enjoy manipulating
My narrow scope of reality?
My limited view of the world?
I can feel it all start slipping, I think I'm breaking down
I can sense everything falling apart, and I think I'm falling apart too

And don't deny me
And don't reject me
No, baby now, don't deny me
No, don't reject me now, baby
And darling, don't be afraid
And my sweetheart, don't be scared
Look in my face, stare in my soul, I begin to stupify, rah
Gaze into my eyes, look deeply within me, and I begin to feel overwhelmed and confused
Look in my face (staring in my soul)
Stare into my eyes (looking at my true self)
I begin to stupify, rah
I begin to feel overwhelmed and confused
