Chicago, United States (1996 – present)

1)
Disturbed was formed in 1996 when musicians Dan Donegan, Steve “Fuzz” Kmak, and Mike Wengren hired singer David Draiman in Chicago, Illinois. They have sold over 10 million albums worldwide, and released three consecutive #1 debuts. Originally classified as a nu metal band, Disturbed is now regarded by some music critics as hard rock or heavy metal, although others now regard them as alternative metal. However, the band’s genre is still being debated. When asked about die-hard metal fans not finding Disturbed heavy enough, frontman David Draiman stated:



“We probably have too much melody going on or we’re not quite as turbulent or caustic. While I really love that type of music, it’s not what we try to do. If we have to place things in context, we’re more hard rock than heavy metal these days.”

Early Days, The Sickness
In its early years, Disturbed started recording several demos and played live shows. Not long after, in 2000, the band released its debut album, titled The Sickness, which launched the band into stardom. The song Down With the Sickness from the album became extremely popular and was later used in many film soundtracks. Soon after the release of The Sickness, Disturbed released a revamped cover version of ”Stone Cold” Steve Austin’s theme music for WWE called “Glass Shatters”. Disturbed headlined Ozzy Osbourne’s Ozzfest tour in 2001 alongside Black Sabbath, Marilyn Manson, Slipknot, Papa Roach, Linkin Park, Black Label Society, and Crazy Town. Afterwards, the band started their own tour, called Music as a Weapon. The bands Adema, Drowning Pool, Stereomud, and Systematic were featured on the tour alongside Disturbed.
