Asylum Songwriting Credits by Disturbed

Asylum is the fifth studio album by Disturbed, released in August 2010 on Reprise Records and produced by Johnny K. It was the band's fourth consecutive number-one debut on the Billboard 200 and an album that demonstrated the consistency of their commercial formula across a decade of releasing music in the same stylistic framework. Draiman wrote all lyrics; the album includes 'Another Way to Die,' 'Asylum,' and 'Warrior' among the principal tracks, with the production focusing on the same heavy riff-and-melodic-chorus structure that had sustained the band's radio presence. The album debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 with 170,000 first-week sales and has been certified gold in the United States; 'Another Way to Die' reached the top five on the Mainstream Rock chart. Asylum was followed by a four-year hiatus during which band members pursued solo and side projects before reconvening for Immortalized in 2015. The album nonetheless represents a commercially secure and professionally executed entry in the Disturbed catalog, demonstrating that even in the absence of a breakout single or creative innovation, the band's consistent songwriting and production formula could reliably generate a platinum-level commercial performance and sustain their arena touring operation.
