hmv Album of the week
Disturbed – Asylum
Disturbed fans will be happy to know that the band’s fifth record is every bit as dark as their last one, Indestructible—maybe even a little darker. “Another Way to Die,” the first single (released back in June), tackles global warming. And you’ll hear some different voices, too. In addition to regular vocals from Dave Draiman, guitarist Dan Donegan gets to sing for the first time since Disturbed’s second album. And drummer Matt Wengren gets to sing for the first time ever.
