DISTURBED Creates Unprecedented Online Demand At DeepRockDrive

May 15, 2008

In less than one week, tens of thousands of fans of the multi-platinum selling, hard rock band DISTURBED logged on to DeepRockDrive.com to get their ticket for the band's upcoming May 29 performance.

Thanks to overwhelming demand to see DISTURBED perform, DeepRockDrive announced that it has doubled the capacity for online tickets, which are now available here.

DISTURBED frontman David Draiman, guitarist Dan Donegan, drummer Mike Wengren and bassist John Moyer self-produced its forthcoming album, "Indestructible", for a June 3 release on Reprise Records. The first single from the album, "Inside The Fire", has been Number One at Active Rock radio for three weeks and counting, and marks the band's sixth Number One track and its fastest-rising chart-topper to date.

By logging on to www.DeepRockDrive.com, music fans around the world will experience a live, online, interactive exchange between DISTURBED and their audience. Fans can send shout outs to the stage, vote on the next song in the set, personalize camera angle selections and send digital applause to DISTURBED on stage in the form of emot-applause, which are video game-like icons, such as hearts, fists, and lips that blow a kiss. These animated icons appear on giant screens in front of the artists while they perform.

DISTURBED's all-performance version of the band's "Inside the Fire" can be viewed below.

The original version of the "Inside the Fire" comes with a short introduction by singer David Draiman in which he reveals that the song deals with suicide, adding that anyone watching the clip who is either suicidal or knows someone that is should contact the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline. Draiman told The Pulse of Radio that the theme of the song and video come from a dark incident in his own life. "It is based on a true story of my own, where when I was about 16 or so, I had a girlfriend of mine commit suicide, and it was an unbelievably horrific and painful experience," he said. "And it was cathartic to make the song, and it really took me having a certain mindset to do it, and I had to wait 'til I was ready."
