Disturbed to launch Internet game for fans

Grammy-nominated hard rock band Disturbed will premiere The Asylum Interactive Experience on October 28th Based on the music from the band's new album, the dark, intense game commits players to the Asylum and dares them to try to unlock its secrets. Fans must try to escape in order to prevent a horrifying future from overtaking the world and to win exclusive songs, never-before-seen photos, and more.

The Asylum Interactive Experience can be entered at www.disturbedasylum.com.

Asylum, recently released on Reprise Records, is Disturbed's fourth consecutive studio album to debut at No. 1, a feat achieved by only two other rock groups in history: Metallica and the Dave Matthews Band. The first single off the album, "Another Way To Die" is a #1 hit at Active Rock Radio, and the current single, "Animal" is quickly climbing the rock radio charts.

Early critical praise for Asylum has been effusive. USA Today called it "a tight, sharp-riffed ride...the combo of aggressive roar and guitar grace recalls Metallica's finest moments" and the New York Daily News declared “On Asylum, Disturbed finely weigh power and delicacy, catchiness and punch…the subtle variety of the band's tunesmanship, and the buoyancy of their rhythms, that makes this hard group so easy to love.”

The Chicago foursome recently wrapped the first annual Rockstar Energy Drink UPROAR Festival and they will continue to tour through the end of the year, with a European run from mid-November through mid-December. Next year they will be hitting the road on the 4th annual Music As A Weapon Tour, tentatively slated to run from January-March 2011.

Disturbed is vocalist David Draiman, guitarist Dan Donegan, drummer Mike Wengren, and bassist John Moyer.
