Disturbed vocalist David Draiman has once again taken the time to discuss his bands upcoming “indefinite hiatus”. Speaking with Billboard.com, Draiman assured that the time off isn’t a result of animosity or bad blood. Instead, he offered that the decision has been made as a result of a number of factors, stating:
“Many of those reasons are personal reasons, and many of those reasons have to do with the state of the music industry in general and the demise of hard rock and metal right now. The industry is still in a state of reformation; it is on the verge of collapse, in my opinion. It’s a frightening time, and I think after 10 to 12 years straight of touring it’s just a good time for Disturbed to go away for awhile and wait for the phoenix to rise from the ashes.”
