As previously reported, Disturbed recently released a new single titled “I Will Not Break.” Now, during a recent interview with 100.3 The X Rocks, singer David Draiman confirmed that more new music is on the way.

Draiman said the following about “I Will Not Break” after being asked about its old-school vibe:

“It wasn’t intentional, that much I’ll tell you. It came at the end of our recording session. It’s one of the last songs we did. We were really on a roll. And I remember I had said to Danny [Dan Donegan, DISTURBED guitarist] and Drew [Fulk] and Mike [Wengren, DISTURBED drummer] — Drew’s our producer — ‘give me a beat that’s a good old-fashioned, old-school head bob, something I can really lock in my polysyncopation on. Give me something old school.’ And they did, and, boom, this came out. And it immediately spoke to us. It was a hell of a lot of fun to write and record the songs. Very empowering, very healing for me. It’s a contrast to some of the darkness I was going through last cycle, and being able to celebrate coming out the other end.”

He also added the following about future material:

“We’ve got a lot of amazing new material we’re gonna be releasing piece by piece over the course of the next year or two, culminating with the release of an actual record. But we’re gonna take our time with it.

These songs are — the problem we had in studio is that so many of them were so strong and so compelling that we had no shortage of single contenders. In fact, we had too many. So we wanna try and give every baby its necessary growth period to be able to grow into a nice big adult song.

So it’s nice, being able to feel that anticipation and the excitement of it. I can’t wait. There’s definitely a lot of the meat-and-potatoes DISTURBED in the collection, but there’s a couple surprises too, and I think people are going to be pleasantly surprised when they actually get to hear everything.”
