DISTURBED vows to release new music
Disturbed bassist John Moyer has recently clarified the band’s upcoming break, emphasizing that it is a standard practice rather than a cause for concern. Moyer addressed the speculation surrounding their hiatus in an interview with Mark Strigl, highlighting how every band typically takes a break after an extensive tour, and there is nothing extraordinary about their decision.
Moyer expressed his frustration with how social media and news outlets tend to sensationalize routine band activities, such as taking time off after tours. He reiterated that there is no need to read too much into Disturbed’s break, emphasizing that it is merely a period for band members to decompress and attend to personal matters. For instance, lead vocalist Dave Draiman recently got married, and it is reasonable that he would want to spend quality time with his new spouse before diving back into a demanding tour schedule.
Speculation aside, Moyer assured fans that new music is on the horizon from Disturbed. Despite no official announcement of a forthcoming album, he revealed that the band has been steadily writing and recording over the past few years. Moyer teased that there is a significant amount of unreleased material waiting to be shared with their loyal fan base. The decision to release new music is primarily a strategic one, considering the band’s desire to curate a cohesive and meaningful collection of songs that resonate deeply with their audience.
Disturbed recently concluded their 25th-anniversary tour for “The Sickness.” This milestone marked a significant achievement for the band, and frontman David Draiman, in alignment with Moyer’s comments, mentioned taking an extended break to reconnect with family and friends. Draiman’s social media posts further reiterated his eagerness to recharge and rejuvenate before returning to the stage.
While Disturbed fans may have to wait a bit longer for the band’s next live performances, Moyer’s reassurance that there is ample new music in the works should provide solace. The band’s dedication to their craft and commitment to delivering quality music remains unwavering, ensuring that their hiatus is not a hiatus from creativity or productivity. So, for any fans concerned about Disturbed’s break, rest assured that it’s all part of the natural rhythm of being in a successful rock band.
