A Chicago metal band that turned aggression into arena anthems for two decades.
For the full force of their approach, Down With The Sickness still hits hard. Their Sound Of Silence cover is the curveball that proves they're more than just volume.
Disturbed's sound is built on Dan Donegan's chugging guitar riffs and David Draiman's unmistakable baritone, a combination that made songs like Down With The Sickness feel both massive and personal. Their cover of The Sound Of Silence showed they could strip things down to just voice and piano and still command attention. They've kept the same lineup for most of their run, which gives their catalog a consistent, locked-in feel from The Sickness through Evolution.
They formed in Chicago in 1996 and released The Sickness in 2000, which set their template. After bassist John Moyer's health scare in 2003, they kept going, putting out seven studio albums like Ten Thousand Fists and maintaining that core sound.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
