Disturbed Serve Up Human Gumbo in 'Asylum'
Hungry? How about a nice steaming bowl of teeth-broth with a fresh eyeball garnish? With their fifth studio album Asylum just a couple of weeks away, dark-rock superstars Disturbed are apparently out to prove they're still down with the sickness (and then some) by releasing a completely unhinged new video for the title track that'll put you right off your lunch. It's the latest of many visual offerings coming from the band – the next being their new feature-length documentary Decade of Disturbed, which will be making a limited theatrical run this month. Hit the jump and watch the clip... and bring a big spoon!
Asylum was filmed by a guy calling himself Roboshobo, who also lensed the band's thought-provoking video Another Way To Die, the chart-topping debut single from the same album. This clip is one of this band's most memorable, going from crazed to creepy and back again at whiplash-inducing speed – and features chainsaws, undead mummies, and a leering cook who lets the inmates contribute a little TOO much to his hearty stew... and by “hearty,” I mean I think I saw a human heart bobbing around in there.
Both videos, as well the 10th anniversary rock-doc Decade of Disturbed, will be included on a bonus DVD bundled with Asylum – which hits stores on August 31st. But the band decided to give select cities in the US and Canada a preview of the film in the week leading to the drop date. The feature-length production traces the band's career from the early days to the present, promising lots of previously unseen footage. Be sure to check out the band's official site to see if there's a screening in your area.
But right now, kiddies, let's take an educational trip to the Asylum...
