"I'm an Indestructible master of war!"

Disturbed is amazing. Usually these days, I find out bands that I like using the tool "Pandora", but in this case, a friend of mine was the tool that introduced me to Disturbed. My friend and I were engaging in a musical conversation in which I figured out that he also liked metal bands. Which came as a shock to me because I'm not too familiar with many people that like the same bands that I do. When I went home and listened to a couple of their songs to see what kind of a band Disturbed was, I was not disappointed. Their songs were pretty spectacular.

The first song that I heard was "Down with the sickness". I thought the beginning was really good, the vocalists "OH WA-A-A-A" shocked me at first, but after listening to it a couple of times, it grew on me. This song actually kind of reminds me of an African song. The guttural voice tone and how short the words were cut off really made the song interesting and added a twist to the otherwise typical heavy metal song. I highly recommend it.

While I was on youtube looking for Disturbed songs, I saw the word "asylum" many times, so naturally, I had to find out what kind of a song it was. When I heard the song, I immediately got the african vibe from the vocalist's voice. Although not as prominent as in "Down with the sickness", I could definitely tell that I was listening to the same dude. I actually liked "Asylum" better than "Down with the sickness", probably because the way he cut off his words in "Down with the sickness" was a bit extreme and the lyrics in "Asylum" were, in my opinion, stronger.

The last noteworthy song that I listened to that day by Disturbed was "Indestructible". The beginning of "Indestructible" was interesting. The opening sirens certainly caught my attention and the guitar riff was pretty catchy. Of course, the vocals had the signature guttural feel, but similarly to "Asylum", the cut offs weren't extreme, but they were still there, especially during the parts that contain fast vocals. This song was probably my favorite song by Disturbed that I have heard so far. While it still contained a very heavy metal feel that I'm very comfortable with, it had the unique "Disturbed twist". The musical aspects of the song were not the only reason why I respect this song so much. The lyrics were also unique, maybe a little bit egotistical, but it makes the listener feel quite powerful.

So that was my "first look" at Disturbed, but I'm pretty sure that it won't be my last ^^.
