“There’s definitely new production elements that we’re toying with, that are elements that we’ve maybe used during The Sickness era, but that we’re doing in a new and more provocative way,” Draiman says.
Draiman adds that Disturbed won’t be playing every song from The Sickess, though they will perform “a ton of Sickness material, deeper cuts, stuff people haven’t heard us play off the record for a while.”
“You can’t, unfortunately — or fortunately, depending on how you look at it — as a band at our level, at this point of our career, you can’t just go out and play one record because everybody came on board at different stations,” he says. “They want to hear what they fell in love with.
Still, Draiman promises that “definitely a huge portion of material” on the tour will be “Sickness-oriented.”
Disturbed’s 20th anniversary The Sickness tour launches July 15 in Maryland Heights, Missouri, and will stretch into September. Staind and Bad Wolves will also be on the bill.
