A great metal band who had the misfortune of being branded with the "nu metal" label, which warrants every hater to say "listen to real metal." Despite this label, Disturbed is heavier than the fathers of metal, Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath, and other
influential metal bands such as AC/DC and Iron Maiden. In fact, their most popular song,
Down with the Sickness is heavier than Metallica's most popular song, Enter Sandman.
Sure, Mike Wengren is no Lars Unlrich and Dan Donegan will never tear through solos like Dave Mustaine, but Disturbed is a band that should not be
underestimated. Everything from David Draiman's aweworthy vocal range to the band's ability to recreate the feeling of pure, relentless terror give them the right to be called the Metallica of the new millennium.
