Metallic riffs, thundering Synthie-Beats and some angry vocals. Disturbed Γ¬ combine the last ten years of American subculture of Hardcore, Alternative-Γ¬ Rock and Crossover. At the same time, David Drainman (vocals), Dan Donegan Γ¬ (guitar), Fuzz (bass) and Mike Wengren (drums) draw the unpleasant picture Γ¬ of a decadent nation in which the disturbed individual just has two Γ¬ alternatives: to adjust or to refuse. Which point of view Disturbed take up can easily be guessed - they take over the role of the outlaws. Γ¬ And that also shows musically. Disturbed present themselves either rhythmic Γ¬ or melancholic but always mercilessly direct. The title "The Γ¬ sickness" couldn't be more precise - the twelve songs are an extremely Γ¬ morbid but also diverse piece of music. "Stupify" is characterized by a thrilling Γ¬ change of vocals, "Numb" by it's haunting melancholy, and "Conflict" by Γ¬ groovy percussions. Topping all that is "Shout 2000" - a doomy remake of the Γ¬ '84 Tears For Fears-classic which should become a real underground hit. Γ¬ (Marcel Anders - 01/01)
