Disturbed is back and louder than ever, ushering in a new era with their latest single, I Will Not Break. The track marks the band’s first release on their own label, Mother Culture Records, and serves as a powerful anthem of resilience. This comes just in time for their highly anticipated The Sickness 25th Anniversary Tour, set to kick off on February 25th in Nampa, Idaho.
A New Chapter: “I Will Not Break”
Following the success of their 2022 album Divisive, Disturbed has returned with I Will Not Break, a song that speaks directly to overcoming adversity. Produced by WZRD BLD—known for his work with Knocked Loose and Ice Nine Kills—the track blends the band’s signature intensity with an empowering message. Lyrics such as “I’ve had enough of feeling terrified, now I’m deciding that I won’t be hiding from anyone” reinforce the band’s commitment to strength in the face of hardship. The single also offers a glimpse into more new music from the band, though details on a full-length release remain under wraps.
The Sickness Turns 25: A Tour for the Ages
Disturbed’s groundbreaking debut album The Sickness is celebrating its 25th anniversary, and the band is making sure fans get the full experience. The upcoming The Sickness 25th Anniversary Tour will feature a two-part performance each night. The first half of the show will see Disturbed play The Sickness in its entirety, while the second half will be a greatest hits set spanning their eight-album catalog.
Adding to the excitement, the first leg of the tour will feature Three Days Grace—marking the return of original frontman Adam Gontier—along with Sevendust as the opening act. The second leg will welcome Daughtry and Nothing More as special guests. The tour runs through May 17, wrapping up in Las Vegas at the MGM Grand Garden Arena.
The Sickness 25th Anniversary Edition Release
Fans of The Sickness have even more to look forward to, as Disturbed is reissuing the album on March 7—the exact date of its original release in 2000. The 25th Anniversary Edition will include b-sides, demos, and previously unreleased tracks. It will be available in multiple formats, including box sets, vinyl, and CD editions, making it a must-have for longtime fans and collectors alike.
Legacy of The Sickness
Few albums in modern metal have had the lasting impact of The Sickness. The record not only introduced the world to Disturbed but also cemented their place as one of the most influential metal bands of the 21st century. Songs like “Down With The Sickness” (recently certified 8x Platinum), “Stupify” (2x Platinum), “Voices”, and “The Game” became anthems of the nu-metal era. The album’s enduring popularity is reflected in its 2.5 billion worldwide streams and its continued presence in rock and metal culture.
Disturbed’s Dominance Continues
With over 17 million units sold and 14 billion streams to date, Disturbed remains a dominant force in hard rock and metal. Their ability to evolve while maintaining their signature sound has earned them five consecutive #1 debuts on the Billboard Top 200—an achievement only shared with Metallica in the hard rock space. From Believe to Divisive, the band has consistently delivered chart-topping hits, and with I Will Not Break, they show no signs of slowing down.
As The Sickness 25th Anniversary Tour looms on the horizon, Disturbed is set to make 2025 a landmark year. Whether you’re a longtime fan or a newcomer to their music, this is a celebration of one of metal’s most enduring legacies.
