Disturbed also share a new music video for “Hold on to Memories” directed by Matt Mahurin, who also directed their “Sound of Silence” music video. The video is inspired by the Mexican holiday “Día de Muertos,” a day of remembrance and celebration of loved ones who have passed, with which it shares the sentiment that, as long as we keep their memories with us, a piece of them is still alive.

The band previously shared its live video for “Hold on to Memories,” directed by Rafa Alcantara. The video captures a moment during Disturbed’s live show where the band perform alongside a video collage of its favorite memories, with photos and videos of friends and families, both here and gone.

Disturbed has continued their record-breaking streak at rock radio, claiming the title of “2019’s Most Played Artists” in the active rock format. The band earned its seventh consecutive No. 1 on the Mediabase Active Rock Chart and Billboard’s Mainstream Rock Songs Chart with latest single “No More,” an achievement unmatched by any artist in history. Disturbed has earned 10 No. 1 singles on the chart, including “A Reason To Fight,” the track that initially broke the record earlier this year.

“No More” is the third top-charting single from the band’s No. 1 album, “Evolution” (Reprise Records).

The multi-Platinum-selling quartet accomplished the rare feat of achieving five consecutive No. 1 debuts on the Billboard Top 200. That accolade historically elevated Disturbed to rarified air alongside Metallica, the only other hard rock group to do so in the history of the chart.

“Immortalized” (2015) received a Platinum certification and spawned the triple-Platinum crossover smash “The Sound of Silence,” which garnered a nomination at the 2017 Grammy Awards in the category of “Best Rock Performance.” 

Since its formation in 1996, the band has sold 16 million albums globally and scored 12 No. 1 singles at active rock radio. Disturbed’s quadruple-Platinum 2000 debut, “The Sickness,” formally announced their arrival as hard rock leaders, with that status solidified by subsequent Grammy Award nominations as well as Gold-, Platinum- and double-Platinum-certified records, as well as countless sold-out shows around the globe.

In 2019, they continued their momentum with a sophomore album, “N.A.T.I.O.N.,” which came in at No. 1 upon its release on the top hard rock, current hard rock and Billboard Hard Rock charts. The single “Killing Me Slowly” recently hit No. 1 to make it four consecutive No. 1 songs for the band at active rock radio.
