Disturbed is a metal band, formed in 1997 when musicians Dan Donegan, Steve "Fuzz" Kmak, and Mike Wengren joined up with singer David Draiman in Chicago, Illinois. Draiman suggested the band's name. Disturbed is often classified as nu-metal, but the change in musical direction after the first album makes this debatable. Their latest album, Ten Thousand Fists is often likened to Metallica.

The band worked very hard in the early years, recording two separate demo EPs which they then sent out to record companies. They sent two to show the record companies that they were dedicated to their music and that the first EP wasn't a fluke. The band broke out in 2000 with their single "Stupify" and subsequent album The Sickness. The album launched them in to stardom. They also released a completely revamped cover version of Stone Cold Steve Austin's theme music for the WWE, called "Glass Shatters." After participating in Ozzy Osbourne's Ozzfest tour in 2001, the band started the "Music as a Weapon" Tour.
