DISTURBED frontman David Draiman says that the band’s upcoming studio album is “heavy as fuck.”
Draiman touched on DISTURBED‘s follow-up to 2018’s “Evolution” during the group’s recent concert (Saturday, May 21) at the Freedom Mortgage Pavilion in Camden, New Jersey.
“We have a new record that will soon be released,” David relayed to the audience just prior to DISTURBED performing the song “Voices“. “And it’s about 90 percent heavy as fuck. Now there’s still 10 percent of caring, loving goodness [laughs] — 10 percent. Hey, for everybody that fell in love with ‘The Sound Of Silence‘ [SIMON & GARFUNKEL] cover, I figured, you know… But the rest of it? ‘Sickness‘-, ‘Ten Thousand Fists‘-era DISTURBED, for sure. You excited about that? ‘Cause I’ll tell you we’re really fucking excited about it.”
In a recent interview, David discussed the musical direction of the new DISTURBED songs, saying: “The material is somewhere between ‘The Sickness‘ and ‘Ten Thousand Fists‘ as far as where I would identify it as sonically. It’s rhythmic, it’s pummeling, it’s anthemic, it’s polysyncopated. It’s meat-and-potatoes DISTURBED.”
