Disturbed - Evolution
A Sneak Peek...
"Disturbed" released their seventh studio album, "Evolution", on October 19, 2018, and its title reflects a change in direction!
The album debuted at No. 4 on the Billboard 200. It was the band’s first album since their debut, "The Sickness", not to reach No. 1, ending a run of five consecutive chart-topping albums.
Kevin Churko produced the album at The Hideout in Las Vegas, having also worked with the band on "Immortalized".
David Draiman described this as the band’s "Black Album", comparing his ambitions to "Metallica’s" black album. He wanted a record on which every track could become a hit and open new doors for the band. We do not think the stylistic change is as substantial as "Metallica’s", but there is a change here.
Speaking of style... The band members said that for the recordings of the album they were inspired by classic rock albums they grew up on. Inspired, they tried to create freely, without restrictions, restraints, or instructions.
Draiman described the sessions as deeply emotional. The album also reflects the loss of fellow musicians, including Chester Bennington of "Linkin Park" and Vinnie Paul of "Pantera".
From the band's remarks at the time of the album's release:
In the announcement, the band described the album as their most adventurous and stylistically varied work to date, with a distinct identity and mood for each song.
