After a four year hiatus, Grammy Award-nominated, multiplatinum hard rock titans DISTURBED have announced their return with their sixth studio album, entitled Immortalized, to be released August 21 through Reprise Records. Lead single \u201cThe Vengeful One\u201d is out now, along with the accompanying animated video from award-winning filmmaker Phil Mucci, and Immortalized is available for pre-order everywhere today. The upcoming release follows 2010\u2019s gold-certified Asylum, Disturbed\u2018s fourth consecutive #1 on the Billboard Top 200, and the group\u2019s subsequent four-year hiatus, which gave members David Draiman [vocals], Dan Donegan [guitar], Mike Wengren [drums], and John Moyer [bass] the necessary reprieve to make this imminent and deliberate return.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe idea was to leave when we were at our peak, which we were, and to come back when we felt reinvigorated,\u201d asserts Draiman. \u201cWe had basically been going nonstop since 1998,\u201d adds Wengren. \u201cWe got to do our own things. It didn\u2019t take too long until the itch started coming back.\u201d And Donegan agrees: \u201cWe wanted to return when we collectively had that fire underneath us. We missed it so much that we could tap into this energy and deliver the right album. We did it on our own terms.\u201d<\/p>\n

In January 2014, Draiman, Donegan, and Wengren met for dinner in their hometown of Chicago. Shortly thereafter, without notifying friends, families, or their label, the three began to fly back and forth to each other\u2019s respective home studios for writing sessions, marking the beginnings of Immortalized and the first time they collectively wrote together since 2001.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor this album, everything was written in the same room,\u201d Draiman remarks. \u201cIt was wonderful experiencing how it used to be back in the day for us. That became apparent in the material, whether it was the passion of the performance, the power being harnessed, or the feelings evoked. We could feel the difference.\u201d<\/p>\n

To push themselves further, the group headed to Las Vegas\u2019 Hideout Recordings to work alongside producer Kevin Churko [Ozzy Osbourne, Five Finger Death Punch]. \u201cThe goal was to find a producer we felt creatively comfortable with, but who could challenge us and spark a new evolution,\u201d said Donegan. \u201cChurko did that.\u201d<\/p>\n

The resulting record features the unshakable first single \u201cThe Vengeful One\u201d \u2013 \u201cMusically, it\u2019s got that old school metal sound,\u201d says Donegan. \u201cIt\u2019s definitely Disturbed!\u201d \u2013 along with an outside-the-box cover of Simon & Garfunkel\u2018s \u201cThe Sound of Silence,\u201d unlike anything in the group\u2019s catalog.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think the fans will feel like it was worth the wait,\u201d says Donegan. \u201cWe\u2019ve been planning this for the past year and keeping it a secret so we can\u2019t wait to hear the response. I hope fans realize we have a lot more left in us. This album reassured me of that. To be away from it for almost 5 years, get back in a room, write together, and tap into that fire is awesome. Part of me didn\u2019t want to leave the studio! We still have a lot more to say. We still have a lot more to do. We\u2019re returning stronger than ever. I think Immortalized shows that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Formed in Chicago in 1996, Disturbed have sold 12 million albums globally, scored nine No. 1 singles at Active Rock Radio, and had four consecutive albums debut at #1 on the Billboard Top 200, a feat shared only with Metallica and Dave Matthews Band. Their quadruple-platinum 2000 debut The Sickness formally announced their arrival as hard rock leaders, with that status solidified by their subsequent gold-, platinum- and double platinum-certified records as well as a Grammy Award nomination in the category of \u201cBest Hard Rock Performance\u201d for \u201cInside the Fire\u201d in 2009.<\/p>\n
