During a recent interview with Mark Strigl, Disturbed bassist John Moyer discussed the band’s plans for new material. According to him, “there’s no shortage of music coming.”

Moyer said the following about taking a break in 2026:

“Yeah, you know, every band takes a break after they tour. It’s pretty standard. Some people are trying to make — honestly, it’s so weird. Social media, and some of these news outlets, they try to blow things up, ‘DISTURBED are taking break after’ blah, blah, blah, and I’m just, like, uh, every band takes a break after a tour. There’s nothing special about this. It’s not that big a deal. [Laughs] It’s just, like, I don’t understand sometimes some of these headlines that come out, I mean, I get it — it’s for clicks, and it’s, like, ‘Oh, is something wrong with DISTURBED?’ There’s nothing wrong. Everything’s great. Dave [DISTURBED singer David Draiman] just got married. He might wanna enjoy some time with his wife before we jump out back on the road again. I don’t know. Just a thought. [Laughs]”

He also added the following about new music:

“There’s no shortage of music coming from DISTURBED, I’ll tell you that right now. I know that for a fact. We’ve got stuff. We’ve got a lot of stuff that… Now I’m letting cats out of the bag, but even though there’s not a record that’s coming out, there’s no announcement of anything, the band’s been working in the studio now for the last two years, and there’s a lot of material that is sitting there, that’s gonna get released. And it’s some great stuff. It’s just a matter of the timing of it and which songs are right for us and what the concept is and all the things that go with creating that art and pushing it.”
