Ten Thousand Fists

:Smug:

 

[cookiecutter]

I would classify them as metal, albeit on the lower edge of metal, near hard rock.

They have a few good tunes. They were one of my brief stepping stones into heavier stuff with Stricken and Down With the Sickness.

 

[Narg n Lamb]

I am utterly sick of the song down the with the sickness, so yea, I got sick of them too after that song, but other then that, their new album is at least bareable to listen to.

 

[CF87]

Disturbed have solos now ?. I guess the band realized mallcore is dead. I bet their solos are lame.

 

[Ender Rises]

they are heavy metal in my mind
same gemre as black label society
but im wierd

by a freak conicidance that's who i'm listening to right now

you're just jealous

I think I heard a track off of their new albums, right before it came out, and the radio said it was disturbed's most agressive album yet. I wasn't expecting much, but the song wasn't really nu-metal or metalcore (like lamb of god), it was just inbetween crap.

Disturbed = Nu Metal
Nu Metal = Gay
You liking Nu Metal = Gay
You = Gay

 

[TylerTheNuke]

Disturbed are one of the few decent bands from the nu-metal scene. They have a slight power metal tint to them. They aren't spectacular though. It's obvious who this album is aimed at. I would never call them awesome. There is much better in real metal.

 

[The Subjugator]

i tried to give this album a chance, it blows.

 

[Moonchild141]

deron didnt tell ya his other favorite band is papa roach did he?
so ya gotta give him a break. he has a soft spot for the stuff

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

No Deron, sorry...in order to be metal, you have to fit in one of the sub-genres, and Disturbed don't.

 

[IOfTheStorm]

The most innovative bands ever in metal, did not fit in any of the existed subgenres of their time.
I'm not implying that Disturbed are innovative, just a comment on "fitting into subgenres".

What do you think of the subgenre "modern metal"? I was listening to Misery Inc. and couldn't really think what else it should be classified.. not really heavy metal, not really melo-death, not any -core either.

Anyways, this song 'Guarded' doesn't sound like I expect nu-metal to sound like. Not my kind of music by any means, but if someone played this song and I had to classify it, I'd put it as heavy metal instead of nu-metal or hardrock.

 

[Death Aflame]

I agree that it is actually a decent sounding album. Draiman has a surpsingly strong melodic voice. Still, I am not sure if I would call them metal, the band doesn't even think of themselves as metal. Hard Rock is probably the best descriptor.
