\n\tDisturbed<\/a> is walking down memory lane and starting a new era at the same time.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Chicago-formed heavy rock quartet kicks off The Sickness <\/em>25th Anniversary Tour on Tuesday (Feb. 25) in Nampa, Idaho, celebrating its five-times platinum debut album, which spent 106 weeks on the Billboard 200. Meanwhile, it\u2019s just released \u201cI Will Not Break,\u201d a characteristically defiant track that is the first taste of Disturbed\u2019s ninth studio album, which will be followed by additional singles before the full-length\u2019s release \u2014 most likely in 2026, according to frontman David Draiman.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWe\u2019re going to release track by track over a set course of time,\u201d Draiman, who now resides in Miami, tells Billboard<\/em>. \u201cWe have so many strong songs in this collection of material, so many single contenders, we\u2019re just gonna push \u2019em out bit by bit. Every musician is most in love with their newest creation, but this body of work was so inspiring it made us want to change our strategy. We have some incredible surprises, too \u2014 not all meat and potatoes, stereotypical Disturbed, either, definitely a lot of left turns for us. We\u2019ll see when those actually get to see the light of day. We can\u2019t wait for all of it to be out.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tGuitarist Dan Donegan feels the same way, describing what\u2019s coming as \u201ca well-rounded body of work. There\u2019s some interesting stuff in there, some really great ideas, some very cool moments. It\u2019s a good blend of everything that\u2019s become Disturbed \u2014 some of those old-school moments, those animalistic moments. We\u2019re always gonna have those big, melodic moments with David to showcase showcase some of his vocal jobs, some great, heavy riffs \u2014 some of my favorite riffs I\u2019ve written so far. I think fans will be pleased.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe heavy-hitting (and certainly familiar-sounding) \u201cI Will Not Break\u201d makes its intent clear with its title. Draiman \u2014 whose vocal follows a minute and 16 seconds of hard grooving by Donegan, drummer Mike Wrengren and bassist John Moyer \u2014 says it was inspired by \u201cthe darkness that I had to go through during the last touring cycle,\u201d which included a 2023 divorce and learning to single-parent his son, as well as aftermath of the Oct. 7 Hamas terror attack on Israel and the rising antisemitism he saw surfacing around the world.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cIt\u2019s definitely a song I think is very needed right now \u2014 definitely I needed it,\u201d Draiman explains. \u201cIt\u2019s an empowerment tune. It\u2019s about overcoming adversity. It\u2019s about coming out the other side of the darkness, about not letting the pressures that mount in your life break you.\u201d He adds that the song \u2014 produced by Drew \u201cWZRD BLD\u201d Fulk (Lil Wayne, Knocked Loose, NLE Choppa), who helmed 2022\u2019s Divisive<\/em> \u2014 was one of the last to surface in the process.<\/p>\n
