Let us know what you think of the new Disturbed video for "The Night." The clip was directed by Noble Jones (3 Doors Down), who aimed to capture the cinematic starkness and eerieness of sci-fi flicks like "Alien" and "The Thing." Click "more" to watch the vid. Read more...

Slayer look forward to another bloodbath with Manson

While Ozzfest hasn't popped back out from the crypt in which it has been hiding, two major spring and summer festivals have announced the first set of acts on their lineups, and both bear striking resemblance to Ozzfests of old.

Music As a Weapon IV will be headlined by Disturbed and will also feature Killswitch Engage on the main stage and Chimaira and Lacuna Coil on the second stage. And Like past Ozzfests, the event will feature tattoo artists, extreme sports and videogames. Read more...

We were gonna write something snarky about the triumph of the lesser of two evils or some s--t like that, but we've gotta admit that Disturbed write some stompin' riffs and catchy hooks, and even if they're not as heavy as Nile, there's still a place for them in the kingdom of metal.

Also, we caught the band's Rockstar Energy Mayhem set the other day in Denver and frontman David Draiman did something we totally respected. No, it wasn't a cover of Genesis' "Land of Confusion" (that kind of sucked, actually), and it had nothing to do with theatrical command of the stage. It was an impromptu utteruance that took place when he saw a legless guy in a wheelchair near the front of the pit. Click more to hear what Draiman had to say and to watch Disturbed cover Metallica.

Yeah, we know a bunch of you are thinking the answer to the above question is none of the above, but there's gotta be a reason why Disturbed and Godsmack are two of the only metal bands that can still go platinum, right? And don't go claiming it's because both are commercial sell-outs because neither have changed their direction that dramatically since they started. So, maybe they both started out as posers, but if that's the case, why has Disturbed managed to secure a slot co-headlining the Mayhem fest with Slipknot and how did Godsmack get to open for Metallica?

In our final batch of interview clips with Disturbed, the band discusses its upcoming co-headlining spot (with Slipknot) on the Rockstar Energy Mayhem Festival, its hopes for the 2008 presidential election, its opinion of Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama and the way the band's new album Industructible is the sum of all of the members' collective talents.

In the second segment of our three-part video interview with Disturbed, the band discusses the dark musical and lyrical paths they chose to follow for their new album Indestructible, how they keep their songwriting fresh, why they self-produced the record, strange things that happened in the studio and what they learned playing for U.S. Troops in Kuwait.

They may not actually be indestructible, but they certainly seem to be unstoppable. Last Wednesday, Disturbed chalked up their third #1 record in a row on the Billboard Album Chart with their new disc Indestructible. Not only did the record do better than anything else on the charts, it sold as well as records they released when the economy was stringer and illegal downloading wasn't so ubiquitous. In its first week, Indestructible shifted 253,000 units. By comparison, Believe, which came out in 2002, sold 284,000 copies and Ten Thousand Fists, which dropped in 2005, sold 239,000.

So, we thought it might be a good time to post the first of three days of interview footage with the band. Today, Disturbed frontman David Draiman addresses the title of the new record, the motorcycle accident that tore up his arm and indirectly led to an explosion in his garage and the meaning of the song "Inside the Fire," which isn't about his garage explosion, but something far more psychologically incendiary.

We've got an exclusive guest blog from Dillinger Escape Plan guitarist Ben Weinman responding to the recent press battle between him and Disturbed guitarist Dan Donegan. But first some background. The strange beef started about a month ago when Australian magazine The Beat ran a story about Dillinger, in which Weinman talked about witnessing a Disturbed soundcheck. Read more...
