#35 History Of Rock Music: DISTURBED: SICKNESS.
A band unknown to most of the Spanish audience until they opened for Manson's last tour in Spain. In America they are already big, with two million copies sold of their debut Lp, “The Sickness”. Disturbed are a Chicago combo full of rage and irascible aggressiveness. Although they keep similarities with un metal, they move away from the movement and far from being labeled, they establish themselves as an original group, novel and with their own personality.
Una banda desconocida para la gran mayoría de la audiencia española hasta que abrieron la ultima gira peninsular de Manson.

Its keys, the amazing riffs of Dan Donegan, of nervous rhythm and tendency to “headbanging”, and the vocal versatility of David Draiman, a kid from a conservative family who gave the upset at home when he decided to be a heavy singer.

After recording a demo and catching the attention of the Giant label, the potential of these guys was released with their promising debut, which put them at the forefront of the future metal scene. Soon they were opening for Ministry, sharing the bill with Marilyn Manson, and overwhelming the audience with their unrelenting brute force. The ground begins to tremble under our feet. Disturbed arrive ready to turn everything upside down, including the most resistant charts.
