Over the course of their career, Disturbed have amassed a platinum-studded catalogue that resembles a war-ravaged wasteland littered with tales of heartbreak, sin and alienation. Emerging during nu-metal's peak years in the early '00s, the Chicago-bred outfit quickly distinguished themselves with a thick, aggressive attack that owes more to classic heavy metal and groove-laden riff rock than to hip-hop. The archetypal brooder forever pinned between misery and fury, David Draiman wields an imposing roar that could blast through titanium and leaves a deep impression of the darkness at his core.
