There is no denying that Disturbed's Down With The Sickness is one of the '00s most iconic heavy jams. Much of what makes the song so undeniable is vocalist David Draiman's wild vocalisations. Often imitated but arguably never bettered, Draiman's unique choices throughout Down With The Sickness have lived rent-free in every heavy music fan's head since the day the band dropped the track.
Pretty much everything that Draiman does on Down With The Sickness is something that only he would think to do, and that's what makes yelling "oh, ah, ah, ah, ah" whenever the opportunity arises so addictive.
Now thanks to YouTube channel isolated tracks we can all enjoy Draiman's borderline disturbed performance in all its isolated glory. We must warn you though, once you hear that unhinged bridge section without any of the musical accompaniment, you may very well walk way with a completely different perspective on a metal classic.
Attendees of Knotfest Australia can get set to be Down with the Sickness when Disturbed head to Australia for the first time in eight years as part of Knotfest Australia. The band will arrive armed with their latest album Divisive.
Insidious, infectious and a band without comparison, Disturbed have quietly claimed a place at the forefront of modern rock along with record-breaking success since first emerging out of Chicago at the turn of the century. With two Grammy nominations, millions of record sales and five consecutive #1 debuts on the Billboard Top 200, the latter of which places the quartet in the same rarefied air as Metallica, Disturbed also wield a bulletproof catalogue that ranges from 2000’s The Sickness through to Asylum, Evolution and Divisive.
A group hardwired to incite mosh pits while also stirring you to hold on tighter, fight harder and persevere forever, Disturbed are, quite simply, not to be missed.
