‘We’ve Never Done Anything Like This’: Disturbed Share What to Expect at ‘The Sickness’ 25th Anniversary Tour


Disturbed's The Sickness 25th Anniversary Tour: What to expect, new music and more.

Draiman — whose vocal follows a minute and 16 seconds of hard grooving by Donegan, drummer Mike Wrengren and bassist John Moyer — says it was inspired by “the darkness that I had to go through during the last touring cycle,” which included a 2023 divorce and learning to single-parent his son, as well as aftermath of the Oct. 7 Hamas terror attack on Israel and the rising antisemitism he saw surfacing around the world. It’s about coming out the other side of the darkness, about not letting the pressures that mount in your life break you.” He adds that the song — produced by Drew “WZRD BLD” Fulk (Lil Wayne, Knocked Loose, NLE Choppa), who helmed 2022’s Divisive — was one of the last to surface in the process. Draiman will check off another item of his own on July 5, when he’ll be part of the Back To The Beginning concert in Birmingham, England, where Ozzy Osbourne and the original lineup of Black Sabbath will play its final show supported by a who’s-who list of heavy metal and hard rock acts.
