DISTURBED Frontman On Upcoming CD: 'It's Music To Help You Feel Strong'

November 21, 2007

DISTURBED frontman David Draiman recently spoke to RollingStone.com about the songs that will appear on the band's self-produced fourth album, "Indestructible", which is due next spring.

While the band hasn't decided upon a final tracklist — that'll come after the mixing stage — Draiman opens up about some of the songs will that definitely wind up on the album. Most obviously, there's the title track, which Draiman calls "an anthem for soldiers" — specifically American soldiers fighting overseas. "It's meant to be something that would make them feel invincible, take away their fear, make them strong," says Draiman. "And that's what this whole body of work on this record does. It's music to help you feel strong."

Spotlighting the band's darker side, there's "Deceiver", inspired by one of Draiman's "really bad relationships," and the Edgar Allan Poe-esque tale "Inside The Fire". "That's a real racy song," Draiman admits, "It's about me standing over the body of my girlfriend, who just killed herself, and the Devil is standing over me, whispering in my ear to kill myself."
