DISTURBED On Tour: DAVID DRAIMAN And New Fan Share A Moment In Sydney; Video Streaming

Disturbed have posted a new video from their tour in support of their latest album, Immortalized, available via Reprise Records. In the clip below, frontman David Draiman and a new Disturbed fan share a moment during the show in Sydney, Australia.

Video footage of Disturbed’s performance of their hit cover of the Simon & Garfunkel classic, “The Sound Of Silence”, on a recent episode of X Factor Australia is streaming below.

David Draiman posted the following via social media: “To those of you saying 'sell outs', or 'what is Disturbed doing on X Factor anyway?'... We're fighting the good fight for our genre to be respectably represented. All rock bands should. All artists/musicians want to spread their work to as many people as possible. That's what it's all about. Sharing the beauty of what you created. If that is considered "selling out" to some people, then so be it.”

Disturbed has released a virtual reality experience for their "The Sound Of Silence" single via Littlstar, the premiere global network dedicated to immersive virtual reality and 360 video. The video was produced by Dekker Dreyer of Clever Fox, and was directed by Matt Mahurin, who also created the visually stunning official video for "The Sound Of Silence" (streaming below) which has accumulated more than 125M YouTube views.

Set in a dystopian world, the VR experience expands on the universe first introduced in the official video. Director Matt Mahurin explains, "It was a thrill and a challenge (and maybe a bit ironic) to use the innovative and immersive world of VR to explore the disconnect of direct human connection that results from the addictive world of social media."

Fans can experience "The Sound Of Silence" through Littlstar's apps for the web, iOS, Android, VR headsets including the Samsung Gear VR, HTC Vive and Oculus Rift, Sony's Bravia TV, Apple TV and the new PSVR.
