Disturbed have just announced all the details to their new album, Divisive, and have also debuted the pounding second single, "Unstoppable."
“Partisan tribal warfare has become a part of our regular existence nowadays. It’s one big battle of the cliques. The whole idea of the record is to be a wakeup call for everyone," begins singer David Draiman, commenting on the impetus behind the band's eighth album.
"Our society has become addicted to outrage," he continues, "Music is the best cure for what ails us though. If only everyone reached out and used it. There’s no better environment to forget about all of this shit than live music. We can be together and realize we have more in common than not. Recognize what’s happening and let’s make a change for the better.”
"Whatever it takes, we’ve got to pull it together," states guitarist Dan Donegan, "We’ve always tried to take negative topics and spin them in a positive light. From touring around the world, we’ve seen the power of music as the universal language to bring everyone together from all walks of life. We can still play songs to unite people, and it’s a pretty powerful feeling.”
As for "Unstoppable," it's an empowering, anthemic track — something Disturbed have displayed a remarkable knack for writing throughout their career.
"'Unstoppable' is definitely one of the heavier tracks on the record. The groove builds into a bombastic animal. It’s truly the fight song," Draiman says of the new single. "We always have a big rock anthem on every album," Donegan chimes in, "We love to write empowering songs for motivation. We’re avid sports fans, and that’s definitely part of it. It’s an in-your-face track, for sure."

You're never gonna stop me I'm the nightmare you've been dreaming of And the day is approaching Let me show you what I'm made of This is just the beginning Your entirety is justified Let me tell you something There's nowhere left for you to hide
Justice will be mine You can be certain
That sound of your heartbeat Like a time bomb slowly ticking down You won't see me coming I can end your life with not a sound
Hear me now It's unavoidable I've fulfilled my vow There's no escape I am unstoppable
There can be no penance For the parasite that you've become There is no repentance This judgment can't be undone There will be no mercy No lenience while I'm alive Vengeance is coming Believe it now, you won't survive
Justice will be mine You can be certain
That sound of your heartbeat Like a time bomb slowly ticking down You won't see me coming I can end your life with not a sound
Hear me now It's unavoidable I've fulfilled my vow I am unstoppable Don't bother running It's over this time You're going to pay now For all you have taken Hear me now There's no escape I am unstoppable
I am, I am, I am, I am I am I am unstoppable I am, I am, I am, I am I am I am unstoppable I am, I am, I am, I am I am I am unstoppable
Hear me now It's unavoidable I've fulfilled my vow I am unstoppable Don't bother running It's over this time You're going to pay now For all you have taken Hear me now There's no escape I am unstoppable
(You're never gonna stop me I am unstoppable You're never gonna stop me) I am unstoppable
