DISTURBED: Revisiting The Magic That Made 'The Sickness' A Rock Icon

Описание: The Point's Liv Maddix celebrates the 25th anniversary of Disturbed's groundbreaking album, "The Sickness," with guitarist Dan Donegan and drummer Mike Wengren. They share insights into the creative process behind the band's debut album, the evolution of their iconic sound, and the organic moments that shaped their music.

Reflecting on the creative process, they reveal how the original demos shaped the final product. Rather than overhauling Disturbed's initial recordings, they focused on refining their performances, allowing the raw energy and vibe captured in those early sessions to shine through.

One of the most fascinating aspects of Disturbed's songwriting process is the improvisational nature of their music. Dan explains how spontaneous moments often lead to the most memorable parts of their songs. The iconic scats on "Down With The Sickness" and "Stupify" were born from a simple jam session, where David Draiman's "Ooh-Wah-Ah-Ah-Ah" added a unique flavor to the sound.

As they prepare to perform "The Sickness" in full for the first time in years, the band reflects on the joy of revisiting their old tracks. Many songs have not been played in over a decade, making this tour a rewarding experience for both the band members and Disturbed fans.

Looking ahead, Disturbed is not slowing down. They have announced European tour dates and are actively working on new music. While they are taking a more measured approach to touring, the thrill of performing live remains a driving force for the band.

Join us as we reminisce about the early days of nu metal, the unforgettable tracks that defined a generation, and what lies ahead for the band. It’s a nostalgic journey you won’t want to miss with Dan and Mike from ‪@DisturbedMusic‬.
