DISTURBED NOT SHY ABOUT SUPPORT FOR TROOPS, DISDAIN FOR ADMINISTRATION

Disturbed is set to release their new album Ten Thousand Fists, and it’s the angriest album they’ve ever done. The band spews venom at the war-like ways of the world, and singer/songwriter David Draiman is not a fan of the direction of the current administration.

Draiman said that he’s fully in support of whatever it takes to protect America and to support our troops, but he can’t help feeling that the administration is going the wrong way.<

“We’re proud of our country and we’re proud to be Americans and we’re proud of our soldiers and everything they do in defense of our country and in defense of our people. We’re not so proud of the people who actually send them into battle and the reasons that are behind it. We’re all about protecting the American way of life and we couldn’t be happier to be living in the country we’re living in, but there’s certain things that leaders of our country do or initiate that we’re not so proud of. And that’s part of being an American. You have the right to do that.”

Disturbed’s Ten Thousand Fists features the politically charged cover of Genesis’s “Land Of Confusion,” and David Draiman said that the meaning of the song, which was written in the Ronald Reagan era, is still appropriate today.
