Decade of Disturbed, fifth studio album (Since 2010)

In an earlier interview, David Draiman briefly talked about the band's fifth studio album, stating that the album will be as dark as their previous album, Indestructible, if not darker.^[45] Song-writing for the fifth studio album began in late 2009.^[46] In an earlier interview with Mike Wengren and John Moyer, it was stated that, judging by Draiman's feelings on the last few years of his life, that Disturbed's new album will be aggressive, angry, and "hard-hitting", but will be similar musically to their album Believe. Wengren also said that the new album may be released in thespring or summer of 2010.^[47] Additionally, Draiman has confirmed that a DVD is in the works.^[48] A countdown clock appeared on the band's website, which ended on January 12, 2010 at 5:00 p.m. EST^[49], and a trailer for the upcoming DVD, titled Decade of Disturbed, was revealed.

In a July 2009 interview with FaceCulture, Draiman stated that the upcoming DVD will be "chronicling the past decade of Disturbed's existence. It's meant to show our growth over the course of the decade." He also talked more about the upcoming fifth album: "A couple of [song riffs] thatDanny has come up with are really amazing. But they're just little pieces...it's not even in two-three part progression [yet]."^[50]

On March 23, 2010, the band will release a reissue of their debut album, The Sickness, with the B-side tracks "God of the Mind" and "A Welcome Burden", updated artwork, as well as remastering and remixing the track list^[51].
