Disturbed frontman David Draiman has revealed weed to be an involved part of his songwriting process. Speaking with
He tells Revolver of a new song titled “Fire It Up” from the groups new album “Immortalized“, he offered:
“Yeah, there was a big fat bowl before that one, too! When I need to spark a bit of inspiration and the melody feels like it’s trapped inside. You know what? Ninety-five percent of the songs I’ve written in my life, I’ve written them while high. That’s the god’s honest truth. I’ll have a very skeletal musical idea in my head, and then I’ll light one up, go in the shower and let the steam kind of build up…it helps me relax, and I can see the gaps. I can see the holes in the rhythm and the melody and I’ll know where I can go, and what the possibilities are. It helps me be able to perceive every- thing a little bit more clearly. So I figured, ‘What the hell, let’s write a song about it!’ And Danny had this riff that had a real funky bounce to it and that was so different. So it was, ‘Okay, let’s try this…'”
“Immortalized” will be released on August 21st.
