Disturbed Launches New Era With Single “I Will Not Break”

Today, multi-platinum rock band Disturbed share their single “I Will Not Break,” the band’s first release on their own label, Mother Culture Records. Disturbed has become one of the most celebrated and commercially successful metal acts of all time and this marks the band’s first new music since their acclaimed 2022 album, Divisive. The song previews forthcoming music from Disturbed and they call it “a necessary song, about becoming stronger than the forces that constantly try to tear you down.” “I Will Not Break,” includes the stirring lyrics “I’ve had enough of feeling terrified, now I’m deciding that I won’t be hiding from anyone,” which encourages listeners to push back in the face of adversity and for the song, the band again teamed up with the Divisive’s producer WZRD BLD (Knocked Loose, Ice Nine Kills). Listen to “I Will Not Break” here.

The band will soon kick off their 34-date The Sickness 25th Anniversary Tour on February 24^th in Nampa, (full dates below) which is produced by Live Nation. Each night will feature two sets of music, opening with Disturbed playing the five times platinum The Sickness in full, followed by a full set of greatest hits. The first half of the tour will feature support from special guests Three Days Grace, featuring the return of original singer Adam Gontier, and opener Sevendust, and the second half will feature special guests Daughtry with opener Nothing More. Tickets and VIP options are available now here disturbed1.com/tour.

Disturbed’s forthcoming 25^th anniversary edition release of The Sickness will be released on March 7^th. The Sickness, their seminal debut album, launched the band into public consciousness and is one of the most important and influential heavy metal albums of all time. To commemorate the 25^th anniversary, the band will reissue their five-times RIAA®-Platinum certified debut album on March 7^th, exactly 25 years to the date of their original release, in several box set, vinyl, and CD editions. The Sickness 25^th Anniversary edition will include b-sides, demos, and previously unreleased songs and is available to pre-order on all formats here, and more information about the various editions is available here.

To date, Disturbed has seen record-breaking success with sales of over 17 million units and 14 billion streams. It all began with The Sickness, which includes their songs “Down With The Sickness” (recently certified 8x platinum), “Stupify” (2x platinum), “Voices” (Gold), and “The Game” (Gold). The album peaked at #29 on the Billboard Top 200 chart and spent a total of 106 weeks on the chart. To date, The Sickness has been streamed 2.5B times worldwide. It was included as #24 on Loudwire’s “Top 25 Debut Hard Rock Albums” list, one of Metal Hammer’s “20 Best Albums of 2000,” and was highlighted in Revolver Magazine’s “20 Essential Nu Metal Albums” list. Billboard said of the title track upon release: “‘Down With The Sickness” is, of course, the quintessential Disturbed song, harnessing all the band’s seethe and its now-famous tribal beat and guitar chug into three and a half minutes of alt-metal mayhem. It’s menacing, it’s rhythmic, it’s rebellious.”

ABOUT DISTURBED:
Emerging out of Chicago at the turn of the century with an insidious, infectious, and inimitable vision without comparison, Disturbed have quietly dominated hard rock on their own terms. They make the kind of music that pushes you to hold on tighter, fight harder, and persevere forever. It’s why they’ve claimed a place at the forefront of 21^st century rock with record-breaking success, sales of over 17 million-plus units, nearly 14 billion streams, and sold out shows around the globe. The band have six RIAA album certifications, and singles from all eight albums have reached the top ten of the Mainstream Rock charts.

The two-time GRAMMY® Award-nominated quartet have notched five consecutive #1 debuts on the Billboard Top 200 for Believe, Ten Thousand Fists, Indestructible, and Asylum, occupying rarified air alongside Metallica—the only other hard rock group to accomplish this feat. Since their influential 5x-platinum debut The Sickness in 2000, they have built a bulletproof catalog highlighted by a procession of smashes, including the 2x-platinum “Stupify,” “Inside The Fire,” and “Land of Confusion,” 2x-platinum “Stricken,” 8x-platinum “Down With The Sickness,” and 7x-platinum “The Sound of Silence,” to name a few. The latter notably received a GRAMMY® Award nomination in the category of “Best Rock Performance” as the band earned “Best Rock Artist” at the 2017 iHeartRadioMusic Awards. Still, Disturbed never stop, and their most recent 2022 album Divisive featured their 17^th #1 at Rock Radio “Hey You,”“Unstoppable,” and more.
