The band formed in 1996 when musicians Dan Donegan, Steve \"Fuzz\" Kmak, and Mike Wengren hired David Draiman as their singer. Since the band's formation, they have sold over 13 million albums worldwide, making them one of the largest grossing metal/rock bands in recent years. The band has released five studio albums, four of which have consecutively debuted at number-one on the Billboard 200. They are only the third band in history to achieve this feat. The band went into an indefinite hiatus in October 2011.\nBefore vocalist David Draiman joined Disturbed, they were known as Brawl. Brawl's lineup consisted of vocalist Erich Awalt, guitarist Dan Donegan, drummer Mike Wengren, and bassist Steve \"Fuzz\" Kmak. Before changing their name to \"Brawl\", however, Donegan mentioned in the band's DVD, Decade of Disturbed, that the name was originally going to be \"Crawl\"; they switched it to \"Brawl\", due to the name already being used by another band. Awalt left the band shortly after the recording of a demo tape; the other three members advertised for a singer. They posted an advertisement in the local music publication in Chicago, Illinois, called the \"Illinois Entertainer\". Draiman answered the advertisement after going to twenty other auditions that month. Guitarist Dan Donegan commented on Draiman: \"You know, out of all the singers that we had talked to or auditioned, he  was the only singer who was ready to go with originals. And that impressed me, just to attempt that\".\nWith regard to Draiman being the new singer for the band, Donegan said, \"After a minute or two, he just starts banging out these melodies that were huge...I'm playing my guitar and I'm grinning from ear to ear, trying not to give it away that I like this guy, you know, because I don't want to, you know... 'Yeah, we'll give you a call back. We'll, you know, discuss it.' But I was so psyched. Chill up my spine. I'm like, 'There is something here'.\" As drummer Mike Wengren commented, \"We clicked right off the bat.\" Draiman then joined the band in 1996 and the band was renamed Disturbed. When asked in an interview why he suggested to name the band Disturbed, Draiman said, \"It had been a name I have been contemplating for a band for years. It just seems to symbolize everything we were feeling at the time. The level of conformity that people are forced into was disturbing to us and we were just trying to push the envelope and the name just sorta made sense.\"","strBiographyDE":null,"strBiographyFR":"Disturbed est un groupe de metal américain, fondé en 1996 à Chicago par Dan Donegan, Steve « Fuzz » Kmak, Mike Wengren et David Draiman.\n\nAprès avoir enregistré deux EP, le groupe de Chicago s'échina pour trouver une maison de disques, contactant plusieurs compagnies avant de finalement signer avec Giant, une filiale du label Warner Bros. Records, puis avec la maison mère.\n\nLe premier album, sorti en 2000, s'appelle The Sickness, accompagné du single Stupify. Le groupe participa ensuite à l'Ozzfest de 2001, puis participa au premier Music As a Weapon Tour, une tournée organisée par le groupe, regroupant différents groupes de nu metal et de hard rock. La première tournée réunit Stereomud, Systematic, Adema, Drowning Pool et bien sûr Disturbed. Une deuxième tournée donnera lieu à un album live, sorti en 2004.\n\nLeur second album, Believe, sort en octobre 2002. En 2003, ils participent une seconde fois à l'Ozzfest.\n\nSteve \"Fuzz\" Kmak est remplacé par John Moyer comme bassiste après la sortie de l'album Believe.\n\nLeur troisième album, Ten Thousand Fists est sorti le 20 août 2005 aux États-Unis. C'est en quelque sorte un mélange entre la musicalité de Believe et le côté hard de The Sickness.\n\nLe quatrième album est sorti le 3 juin 2008 et s'appelle Indestructible.\n\nLe cinquième album, intitulé Asylum, est sorti le 31 août 2010.\n\nLe groupe a sorti son sixième et dernier album avant sa pause indéfinie le 8 novembre 2011. Il s'agit d'un album compilation B-Side du nom de The Lost Children réunissant toutes les chansons écrites par le groupe, mais qui ne sont pas parues lors de la sortie des autres albums.","strBiographyCN":null,"strBiographyIT":null,"strBiographyJP":null,"strBiographyRU":"Disturbed (от англ. to disturb - беспокоить) — американская рок-группа, образованная в 1996 году в Чикаго, штат Иллинойс, музыкантами Дэном Дониганом (Dan Donegan), Стивом Кмаком (Steve \"Fuzz\" Kmak), Майком Венгреном (Mike Wengren) и Дэвидом Дрейманом (David Draiman) и работающая в жанре Alternative Metal.

Ich cztery kolejne albumy studyjne zadebiutowały na pierwszym miejscu notowania Billboard 200, co udało się dotychczas jedynie siedmiu zespołom rockowym. Zespół klasyfikowany jest jako nu metalowy, lecz gatunek, jaki przedstawiają, jest stałym obiektem debaty. Fani heavy metalu twierdzą, że muzyka grana przez Disturbed nie jest wystarczająco mocna, aby określać ją takim mianem.","strGender":"Male","intMembers":"4","strCountry":"Chicago, Illinois, USA","strCountryCode":"US","strArtistThumb":"https://r2.theaudiodb.com/images/media/artist/thumb/rtqwrs1364403653.jpg","strArtistLogo":"https://r2.theaudiodb.com/images/media/artist/logo/xpusrr1421927138.png","strArtistCutout":"https://r2.theaudiodb.com/images/media/artist/cutout/irm5sm1668973033.png","strArtistClearart":"https://r2.theaudiodb.com/images/media/artist/clearart/syrrpx1541107647.png","strArtistWideThumb":"https://r2.theaudiodb.com/images/media/artist/widethumb/sptvrp1530735851.jpg","strArtistFanart":"https://r2.theaudiodb.com/images/media/artist/fanart/disturbed-4ddfc6ab0a985.jpg","strArtistFanart2":"https://r2.theaudiodb.com/images/media/artist/fanart/disturbed-4e481e4342669.jpg","strArtistFanart3":"https://r2.theaudiodb.com/images/media/artist/fanart/disturbed-4e481e4cdd093.jpg","strArtistFanart4":"https://r2.theaudiodb.com/images/media/artist/fanart/disturbed-4e481e56e7298.jpg","strArtistBanner":"https://r2.theaudiodb.com/images/media/artist/banner/qrqwxp1395313880.jpg","strMusicBrainzID":"4bb4e4e4-5f66-4509-98af-62dbb90c45c5","strISNIcode":null,"strLastFMChart":"http://www.last.fm/music/Disturbed/+charts?rangetype=6month","intCharted":"7","strLocked":"unlocked","intChecked":"0"}]}
