Yesterday (March 23rd) saw American metal-heads 'Disturbed' mark the 10th anniversary of the release of highly acclaimed album 'The Sickness' that gave birth to a whole new wave of attitude ridden metal to bring in the new century. If you have been hiding under a rock for the past 10 years and have not yet got your copy, we HIGHLY recommend getting the newly extended anniversary edition that saw its release yesterday.The album was originally released in March 2000 and remains Disturbed's biggest-selling disc, with four million copies sold. The CD contained the singles "Stupify," "Voices" and "Down With the Sickness," which is the seventh most downloaded track of the last decade.
Guitarist Dan Donegan told us that the band never expected the song or album to do as well as it did: "I think 'Down With The Sickness' was like the seventh most downloaded song that was recorded in the '90s. It was like in a list of like four Michael Jackson songs and Nirvana's 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' and we were in the Top 10 of those songs. And I was just blown away by those statistics. Those are big numbers there. I mean, we're just overwhelmed to think that we could go from a garage band in the south side of Chicago to selling a lot of albums and having a fan base and making a career out of it."
The 10th anniversary package features two previously unreleased bonus tracks and expanded artwork. It's also available on vinyl for the first time ever.
as-well as all these reasons to buy the new release, the band has also re-launched its website with a special section, accessible only by a code included with new copies of The Sickness, that will feature clips of the quartet in the studio recording their upcoming fifth album, due out later this year.
On a final note, The band are also set to release a brand new un-seen documentary DVD later this year - we will of-cause be carrying a review of this at our main site
