Craig Owens, the singer for hardcore/emo band Chiodos has been discharged from a mental health facility he entered after a suicide attempt at his home in Michigan on July 20, reports Alsolutepunk.net.

"On Sunday, July 20th, I attempted to overdose on prescribed Xanax at my home here in Michigan," Owens said in a statement. "Flash ahead 12 hours later, I woke up in the emergency room surrounded by my family and best friends, with an IV in my left arm, and hooked up to machines. I felt confused, angry, selfish, and completely embarrassed. After being admitted to the hospital for a couple of days, I made my way to recovery and built up enough strength and courage with the support of my loved ones enough to make it back home. I am okay, though. Thankfully, I had no permanent physical damage to myself from this."

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.
