Evolution is the upcoming seventh studio album by American heavy metal band Disturbed. It will be released on October 19, 2018, by Reprise Records. The album's first single, "Are You Ready", was released before the album in August 2018, while the second single, "A Reason to Fight", was released a month later.

Background and recording

The band announced in January 2018 that they had begun recording their seventh studio album.[2] Recording finished in June with just mixing and mastering needing to be done.[3] It will be the band's first album in over three years and the band's first album in over eight years to involve bass guitarist John Moyer.[4] Frontman David Draiman stated that the writing and recording of the album was influenced by classic rock that members have listened to in their youth.[5] Guitarist Dan Donegan stated that the album's title was representative of their goal on the album, to challenge themselves to evolve their sound.[6] He also revealed that there will be no new cover songs from this album's cycle. Draiman stated that Evolution is the band's "Black Album".[7]

The album will be a tribute to dead heavy metal musicians such as Chester Bennington of Linkin Park[8] and Vinnie Paul of Pantera,[9] with whom Disturbed were friends and toured with over the years.

Promotion and release

On August 16, 2018, the album's name was revealed as Evolution, and the first single, "Are You Ready", was released.[1][10] On the same day, the album's track listing, artwork and release date were also revealed. A second and third song, "A Reason to Fight" and "The Best Ones Lie", was released on September 21 and October 12 respectively.[11][12]

The band will embark on a big U.S. tour starting in early 2019, to promote the album.[13]
