“It’s a wake-up call. We’ve become our own worst enemies. Civil discourse has become the exception instead of the norm. People have lost themselves in outrage addiction.”

Disturbed have shared a new single and video Hey You. The multi-platinum selling hard rock band’s first new music since 2018's Evolution, Hey You sounds like 00s era Disturbed and is a very different offering from their most recent Aussie hit, a cover of Simon & Garfunkel's The Sound Of Silence.  

Vocalist David Draiman shares his thoughts on Hey You, suggesting the track is a call-to-arms for a world that is losing its way.  "It’s a wake-up call. We’ve become our own worst enemies. Civil discourse has become the exception instead of the norm. People have lost themselves in outrage addiction.”

The arrival of Hey You seems to make good on the promise Draiman made to fans back in 2020 that the next Disturbed album would be "blisteringly angry."

The band have also revealed that they have a new album coming later this year.

Hey You continues a multi-platinum selling career for Disturbed. Since their formation in 1996, the band has sold 16 million albums globally. Single Down With The Sickness from the year 2000 record The Sickness is arguably their most known work and is synonymous with turn-of-the-millennium metal. 

The band is one of few acts to have five consecutive number one debuts on the US Billboard Top 200. They sit alongside Metallica as the only hard rock acts to ever do so in the history of the chart.
