Yes, you did read that title correctly. Disturbed announced their return last month from a four-year hiatus and the imminent arrival of their new studio album Immortalized, due out on August 21st. Having already released their new single ‘The Vengeful One’ they have now posted a slightly more controversial track from their forthcoming sixth studio release, titled ‘Fire It Up’.
Frontman David Draiman spoke frankly about the inspiration behind the track, explaining, “You know what? Ninety-five percent of the songs I’ve written in my life, I’ve written them while high. That’s the god’s honest truth. I’ll have a very skeletal musical idea in my head, and then I’ll light one up, go in the shower and let the steam kind of build up…it helps me relax, and I can see the gaps. I can see the holes in the rhythm and the melody and I’ll know where I can go, and what the possibilities are. It helps me be able to perceive every- thing a little bit more clearly. So I figured, ‘What the hell, let’s write a song about it!’ And Danny had this riff that had a real funky bounce to it and that was so different. So it was, ‘Okay, let’s try this…’”
