For the last month or so, Disturbed have been held up in Chicago recording studio, working on material for their upcoming forth album, tentatively titled Indesturctible and slated for a spring 2008 release. According to frontman David Draiman, the follow-up to 2005's Ten Thousand Fists -- which has sold close to 1.5 million copies in the U.S. alone -- is "dark, very dark," lyrically as well as musically. Infact, Draiman believes it's much more complex and foreboding than anything they have done during their 10 years together.
When someone like Draiman tells you his lyrics are even darker than normal, you've got to ask the man what inspired his bleak prose.
"Dude, I've had a f---ed-up couple of years," he admits with a snicker. "All kinds of horrible stuff went on. Bad breakups; I've had my garage burn downwith all my vehicles in it; I had a bad motorcycle accident that took off a whole bunch of skin from my forearm -- just bad luck. It's been a fierce past couple of years, and all kinds of sh-- has gone down. This is therapy, man -- I need to get this sh-- out of me."
Just how dark are Draiman's lyrics? "There are a couple of [songs] that people will probably take issue with," he said. "One in particular I can see becoming a problem, but I hope not. I have a funny feeling that some of the Bible Belt people might not be too happy with this."
