For context, many of these songs struck home to the classic Disturbed sound. In the hype machine leading up to the recent release of Immortalized, Disturbed released a plethora of pre-release tracks. While the results can be mixed, it’s a shocking move that deserves some respect from old and new fans alike. While many bands go back to their core sound for their comeback record, Disturbed actually seems to have continued their artistic progression in a few ways for their sixth album. Whether you want to call this comeback album just good business or renewed interest by the members in the actual musical side of their material, Immortalized is here. The various members went on to try out several side projects to varied success (the highlight being the more industrial sounding Device from vocalist David Draiman), but none of them garnered the crowds or critical praise that Disturbed had been receiving at the time of their hiatus. On Immortalized, the band scored the biggest international radio hit of their career with a cover of Simon and Garfunkel’s “The Sound of Silence,” recasting the ‘60s folk-pop ballad as a harrowing gothic hymn-a perfect emblem of this band’s capacity for transforming the sacred into the sacreligious.It was pretty obvious over the last few years that Disturbed’s hiatus from the world wasn’t going to last all that long. 1 albums, never losing their aggressive edge, but gradually revealing the full emotional breadth of Draiman’s growling-to-graceful vocal range and bringing their classic-rock influences to the fore. From 2002’s Believe up through to 2015’s Immortalized, Disturbed clocked five consecutive No. But while Disturbed will be forever associated with nu-metal’s millennial golden age, they’ve soundly transcended it. Announced by the “oh-wah-ah-ah-ah” heard ‘round the world, the album’s breakout single, “Down With the Sickness,” injected nu-metal’s industrial-strength crunch with old-school hard-rock attitude, expanding the genre’s capacity for outsized angst while forsaking its hip-hop/electronic affinities for pure pummel. Within a few years of passing that audition, though, he was leading a different kind of congregation-the five million metalheads who bought The Sickness, the 2000 debut album from his band, Disturbed. Before that fateful day in 1996 when he responded to a singer-wanted ad placed by a Chicago rock band, David Draiman was on the path to becoming a rabbi.
