Disturbed - Asylum

[Grimson]

Yes, my single favourite band, the Disturbed, is about to release their newest album, titled Asylum, in August 24 (if everything goes as planned, that is). You can listen to their newest single "Another Way to Die" on YouTube (or get it from iTunes).

I'm so excited (though this isn't exactly news for me, I was only reminded to post about it because of kuliwil's thread)

I'm not usually a Disturbed fan but that was rather good! I liked the start but that style of singing/verse just makes me feel violently ill

Good to see them using their music for a message though. I like bands who are like that - most of those that I listen to have an environmental message actually haha, even if not in their songs. (don't post only re:environment - it just occurred to me that this could lead to a topic derailment)

@teay1324 Well, they're kinda metal but they are more hard rock =p

How so? Well, I guess I was unsure about it in the start (that was years ago, Voices must've been the first Disturbed song I listened to), but grew to like it very quickly. I can't stand any modern heavy (black, gore or whatever they are clasified these days, the whole clasification system is biased IMO as there are hundreds of forms of metal alone) metal bands where the vocals only consist of growling or shrieking, and the music itself only consists of double-bass without any melody. That's no music IMHO.

@teay1324 Well, they're kinda metal but they are more hard rock =p

Personally, that quarrel about what to class to put their music into felt really childish. It doesn't matter to me at all whether they are recalled as a hard rock, heavy metal or nu metal band.

haha, maybe I should adopt your sentiment... I have an ongoing debate with a few friends of mine that Metallica is largely NOT heavy metal, just thrash mixed with heavy rock. Black Sabbath is heavy metal - bear in mind the missing parts of the fingers of their bassist I think that were replaced with metal caps, getting the sound that's called heavy metal!

Sveeeet. I love Disturbed. Alas, my connection is shaped to dial-up speed for another day, so watching the clip will have to wait.

I like the song, but that video really... disturbed me.
It probably didn't help that I was eating at the time.

This is what I've come to expect from Disturbed

Somehow that doesn't sound too positive.

I guess it isn't. If I was to describe their new album I'd use words like outdated, uncreative, kitsch, unneeded pathos. But that's just me, so don't let me stop you in enjoying that band, which was indeed a good one.

I will when the radio does. Then I can stop spending money to clean my vomit out of my car.
