The new Disturbed album won’t be coming soon.
The band’s guitarist Dan Donegan recently had a livestream on Instagram and said the following about the new album:
“[We’re] kind of working on some material. I can’t really say. There’s no timeframe. I know there was a post earlier of us in the studio and that was just us kind of getting the ball rolling. No planned date, so sorry to burst your bubble. I’m not prematurely getting you too excited about it other than we have some downtime, so it was fun to get together and get creative for a moment.”
Donegan revealed that their new effort won’t arrive within this year:
“Things went amazing, but we’re not planning on any release any time soon. It was just an opportunity to get in a room and get creative again. So [I’m] very, very excited about what we’re coming up with, but there’s not gonna be a release this year, let me be clear on that.”
Disturbed Entered The Studio
Earlier this month, Disturbed’s singer David Draiman posted photos of himself, Donegan, and drummer Mike Wengren in the studio with producer Drew Fulk. He included this caption:
“Epic sh*t alert. #ithasbegun.”
In February 2023, Donegan told Terrie Carr from 105.5 WDHA why Disturbed picked Fulk to produce their eighth album, ‘Divisive.’ He said:
“It’s always challenging because… The early part of our career, we worked with Johnny K, who did the first three albums with us. He’s a hometown friend, out of Chicago. I knew him growing up, being a local guy, doing the demos for bands locally. And then we kind of self-produced throughout the years. Then we went to Kevin Churko in Las Vegas, who’s done Five Finger Death Punch [and] In This Moment — a lot of great bands — out of Vegas. So, at this point, we just felt like we needed new life, we needed another person in there.”
Disturbed’s next show is scheduled for August 28 in Dubuque, Iowa. Then, they will also perform in Pryor Creek, Oklahoma on August 31.
