Disturbed Frontman Blames Music Industry for Band's Upcoming Hiatus
Related Content
After making comments that seemed to indicate that Disturbed were heading for an extended hiatus, or even a break-up, vocalist David Draiman has done his best to set the record straight, assuring fans there was no internal strife in the band.
Now, Draiman tells Billboard.com that the music industry is the real cause behind the band's upcoming break.
"Many of those reasons are personal reasons, and many of those reasons have to do with the state of the music industry in general and the demise of hard rock and metal right now."
"The industry is still in a state of reformation," he continued. "It is on the verge of collapse, in my opinion. It's a frightening time, and I think after 10 to 12 years straight of touring it's just a good time for Disturbed to go away for awhile and wait for the Phoenix to rise from the ashes."

Oh yes, obviously it's the music industry's fault that rock and metal bands are just breaking up everywhere. Wait, they're not? You mean disturbed is the ONLY band affected by this invisible wave of decline in rock and roll?
You mean to tell me, that it doesn't matter how or what other bands are doing in the industry so long as your music is good? Gee, who would have thought Disturbed would run out of ideas on how to express teenage angst, like it hasn't been done a few hundred thousand times over.
Disturbed needs to take a hint from bands like Tool, who started out screaming but evolved, pushed forward, progressed and stayed not only WITH the times, but well ahead of them.
