THE INDULGENCE
OF OUR LIVES
HAS CAST A SHADOW
ON OUR WORLD
OUR DEVOTION TO
OUR APPETITES
BETRAYED US ALL
Asylum
is the fifth
studio album
by American
Heavy Metal band
It was released on
August 31, 2010,
in the United States
through Reprise Records.
The album is meant to
take a fresh direction
in the band's
music career,
while remaining consistent
with the band's
previous albums.
Most of the
lyrical content
was inspired by
aspects of
frontman
David Draiman's
life prior to making
the album.
Asylum
is also the
third consecutive
Disturbed album
to not feature the
Parental Advisory label
although the
deluxe version
on iTunes
is marked explicit
for live versions
of their earlier material
from
The Sickness
A tour in support
of the album,
titled the
Asylum Tour,
started in late
August 2010.
Asylum
debuted at number one
on the
Billboard 200 chart
with sales of
approximately 179,000
according to
Nielsen Soundscan.
This is the fourth
consecutive number
Industry Association of
America (RIAA).
Development and Recording
In a November 2008 interview,
David Draiman
stated that their album would
be lyrically as dark
as their previous album,
Indestructible,
if not darker.
In an earlier interview
with Mike Wengren
and John Moyer,
it was stated that,
judging by
Draiman's feelings
on the last few years
of his life,
the album would
be aggressive,
angry,
and
"hard-hitting,"
but similar musically
to their album
Believe.
