I would like to take a minute to tell YOU GUYS how fucking awesome you are! You have no idea how much I love tuning in almost everyday and giving yall content you love! i feel like the hefnerd family is really one of the most incredible families on youtube. i love you all so much!! have a fucking awesome day!! :)

Saw them recently. They did a whole segment that was anti-suicide. They asked for the lights to be brought up and asked us how many of us have struggled with addiction or depression. Unfortunately it was a majority that raised their hands. He said “No more...This must end.” Very powerful show.

For context: The Main singer of the band, David Draiman, lost his girlfriend to suicide when he was away at the time, he came home and found her, like the video shows. He went into a depression, questioning if he should "join her".

Could you ever imagine having to recreate the experience for the music video essentially having to relive the trauma twice

As a survivor of an attempt, this is one of the greatest songs they've ever done, even to date.

Disturbed - Inside The Fire **sad headbanging noises**

David Draiman had nightmares during the making of the whole album. he was haunted by what happened when he was younger.

When I was 6, my brother (age 8) hung himself. He had an I.Q. that was nearly immeasurable. At the time of his death, he was taking 8th grade courses. The stress associated with that, coupled with our mother's abuse, was more than he could bear. I am 72, now, and still miss him.

Sadly, I have a loved one right now in the hospital as a result of a second attempt in under a month. He’s currently on a life support system in order for his body to rest while his organs recover. Very difficult to see someone go through this and no matter how much support you can offer, there’s little you can actually do. It effects so many people.... it’s truly tragic. Sending love, hope, and well wishes to anyone struggling ❤️

I lost my brother to suicide, and I could not listen to two of my favorite songs for such a long time 45 by Shinedown, and dear agony by breaking Benjamin. None of us knew what he was going through and we still think about him to this day.

That's what I love about Disturbed; they have a lot of heart at the core of their music. I'm really happy David included that helpline at the beginning of the music vid.

" Suicide is a permanent solution to temporary problems " - Robin Williams Love Y'all 🙏

Stay with Disturbed please !! Here's some other great musics: "Disturbed - Indestructible" "Disturbed - Prayer" "Disturbed - Another Way To Die" "Disturbed - A Reason To Fight"

One fact: when the vocalist was 16 years his girlfriend comits suicide and this event breaking him, and this muisc was what he feel and think when this hapen.

Im currently under a 6months suicide watch program - home bound. I have made several attempts on my life going back thru to high school days. Medication can help but it's never finite. I still get "down swings" that can last from a day to a week at a time. My doctor tells me i see the world in a fractured way. I can't get into the explanations of my darkness but i have found the importance of occupying my mind with creative outlets. I make clothes and bags which teach me to problem solve fast. I have a colour therapy session weekly where my counsellor gets me to design a mandala: she gives me a stack of colours, my anxiety disorder immediately forces me to harmonize the colours into order. As im colouring in the mandala she starts taking away colours. This is to force you to work hard against your anxiety before you get a panic attack. I have gestalt sessions weekly where i am put into situations similar to the times ive been raped and i have to role play my way out of it. Its my roughest day mentally but its also my crying day which really helps me get thru the rest of the week. You tube channels esp. Alex Hefners' allow me to see the world in a positive way and gives me access to communication that i would otherwise deny myself being locked away in my mind so much. 💙

I have a friend I owe my life to. He saved me from suicide one night. Thinking back on it, it wasn't the best choice. I suffer from severe depression I battle with it day in and day out. I can say personally it's a demon that constantly torments and a lot of times suicide is the "best" option in your frame of mind. But you need to know there is always somebody looking out for you.

Essentially in the song a demon is telling him to kill himself so he can go to hell and be with her.

I struggle with mental illness and I was suicidal for a few years after my girlfriend died of cancer. Then I lost my best friend to suicide in 2017. Its a horrible feeling and it kills everyone inside who loved you and leaves then wondering why, but I also understand being in that headspace where you are willing to do anything to make the pain stop. We need to come together and help those people who are struggling with these issues. I wish I could have done more to help my friend, but I didn't even see it coming. And now I have to deal with that for the rest of my life. Don't do it please, get help if you need to.

This has always been my favorite Disturbed song. HIGH INTENSITY song...like you say. Take another listen when you can and hear the production changes in the song. Very well done tune...I dig the hell out of it!!

I literally called the national suicide hotline one night when my depression got really bad and noone ever answered the phone.. it just kept ringing

It wasnt just about the "devil whispering in his ear" he actually wrote this song from Satan's perspective In this song he playing the part of the Devil whispering in his ear

The sad part of it is, that this actually happened to him.

Not me yelling "Yes! Thank you! Finally!" Your reaction to the guitar solo....no one else seemed to pay any attention to that.... freaking awesome. I love Disturbed..... this is one of my favorites.

When I was 5 years old, my father committed suicide. Since then I've had 6 friends commit suicide. It's hard. People keep leaving and often there is no explanation. My siblings and I struggle with the loss of our father even now, 15 years later. And after losing someone to suicide, it's so easy to fall into the dark place that they must've been in. It's really awful

The scene at the end, is a teaser for their album directly after this one, called Asylum. In which you should probably do The Animal

I saw this music video when it came out just a few days after my dad told me of a suicide attempt where my late stepmom found him hanging. I bawled my eyes out because all I could picture was my dad hanging. It took me a long time to be able to watch that video without bursting into tears. I've also struggled with depression and have had suicidal thoughts. Thankfully, I'm not suicidal anymore but I know how it feels to be that low. Like all you can feel is pain, numbness and darkness swallowing you whole

These songs helped me through rough times. Disturbed is one of the greatest bands imo. Just happen to come across your channel and had to see your reaction to this song lol, glad to see you was both shocked and moved by it. It's a work of art 👌

"release your life to begin another time with her"

I love how you research the meaning behind the song. As a huge disturbed fan I was hoping you would.

I lost my Dad to suicide on 31st December 2014. Spoke to him briefly on Christmas Day, then six days later he was gone. I had no comprehension of his psychological downward spiral, and hadn't seen him physically in years, which made it all the more difficult to process. I was in denial of the fact, until I actually saw him in his coffin at the funeral home, and at that point it was a reality, and the floodgates just opened! I wrote a song called The Hourglass with my band, Dreamstate Illusion about this, but from my interpretation of his perspective, effectively as a means of closure for me.

The end of this video was a prelude to "Asylum" which those two songs coupled together were written about Draiman's experience with suicide

In 2001 at 17 years old, I was about 6 feet away from a friend of mine when he shot himself in the head. Took my years to get to the point the the fact he was messing around with a loaded gun was suicide. I don't care how you cut it it was a stupid thing to be doing. I myself have depression and anxiety issues and even after seeing what the aftermath of a suicide can do those around you Ive still had thoughts of it myself. Not wanting to inflict what I saw after Nate died, on my own loved ones, has at times, been the only thing that has kept me from doing it myself. Finding songs like this and others is one the main thing that helps me get through my dark times.

“White everywhere so I guess he killed himself” I’m guessing you didn’t notice the straightjacket but he’s in an asylum. I’m assuming that being that the grief was so immense that it drove him to either attempt suicide or have himself committed for suicidal behavior. Either way it’s terrible. I’ve dealt with suicidal behavior and have lost a few family members to it and neither of them is ever easy. And I hope anyone who is dealing with it now can get help and overcome it. Y’all are strong and wonderful people, and no matter what your mind is telling you, you are important, you matter and people will miss you. Lots of love to you Alex and the rest of the Hefnerds ❤️

Disturbed has one of my the best music I've listened to.

Alex: i’m ready to be wow’ed A few seconds into the video: this video contains the sensitive topic, suicide

Disturbed - “Overburdened” has a very tool like bass line

Check out disturbed's song a reason to fight, one of the more emotional songs I've heard from them in a while

He was in a insane asylum at the end look closely you can see him in a straight jacket he used to come out in a straight jacket live way back early days of Disturbed they would wheel him out in a straight jacket and undo him and he would start the show

As someone who's had suicidal thoughts before, this hits pretty deep. Disturbed is so good, please react to: - Indestructible - The Animal - Voices - Prayer - Stupify - Ten Thousand Fists - The Light - Perfect Insanity - The Best Ones Lie - Asylum - The Night - The Game

A permanent solution to a temporary problem! Lost a dear friend to suicide 10 years ago this year! Still love him and miss him very much! Thank you for doing this song! Keep rockin’ it out! 🤘🏻

Disturbed- Indestructible Prayer, The Game.

I attempted suicide twice in my 20's by ODing on pills...slept for 48 hours instead of dying. Nobody even noticed except my work, who asked me "Why didn't you come in to work yesterday?" This was approx. 30 years ago. I am now married and have a 6 year old daughter who keep me grounded. I am in a much better place these days. Cheers! (and react to CLUTCH)

First rock song I had ever heard. This was the song that started me down this long metal road. Disturbed will always be my #1!

I can only imagine how hard it is to lose someone you love to suicide. What I'll never stop thinking about is my cousin. He fell out of a window. I know. Sounds like a clear case. But neighbours said that he constantly sat on the windowsill, feet out, smoking. So maybe he just lost consciousness? I don't know. He was so happy to be an uncle, his sister was pregnant at the time. I was a kid when it happened and never got to wrap my head around it. And everytime I think about it, it makes me cry. Will never stop guessing. For her it was devastating. She was home when it happened. Damn, sorry the comment turned out so long 😅 you've got a new subscriber here, love the videos!

I lost my father to suicide when I was young I'm now in my mid 20s and I still think of him ever damn day. He was the sole reason I am a metalhead. One by Metallica still gets me in my feels because it's one of his and mine favourite song and it's very accurate to how I was feeling when I lost him

The night by disturbed \m/

That song man, I cried when I first heard it. It's similar to my experience. When my grandma died 7 years ago after been told by my mum on the phone, I had a breakdown and get suicidal thoughts. I had a voice in my head to tell me to be with her. It took me a week to accept her death. I got PTSD from the bullying in "mainstream" secondary school (middle school for Americans) and it was hell. At first I wouldn't dare tell anyone about it and eventually I tell my mum about it. I'm happy that I'm here, fulfil my life with stuff I love. I complete the degree and hopefully become a session musician after I sort things out.

The subject is depressing as hell, but the song is amazing as hell, this is all i will say

React to stabbing in the dark by ice nine kills🙏

Thank you for your continued vocalized support of suicide awareness. You’re a voice for the voiceless and always willing to lend an ear 👊🏻

Lived through it, no matter how much therapy it leaves a permanent stain in your life, you just have to get through each day . The strangest thing for me is the memory that is still clear to this day is when I touched her arm after she was dead was it felt like hard cold stone . When you lose someone like this good memories turn you to tears, you want to erase the memory of them but can't

I personally get overwhelmed with so much emotions when I hear this song. I’ve just recently dealt with the loss of someone who was very close to me due to suicide, and I’ve personally have struggled with suicidal thoughts in the past and still have those struggles now. It breaks my heart to see someone struggle through that and the pain they’re going through. I know I’m just a random guy watching this video, but considering I know and seen the struggles I’m offering to help anyone I can who is going through this. We are more than just a community. We are a family and we should stick together through hard times. I love your videos, Alex, and watching them has gotten me through some dark times. I wish everyone here well and I’m here if anyone needs someone to talk to. Have a great day my fellow metal heads

Great choice Alex. I love the song. It’s insanely powerful.

Disturbed a reason to fight is a must

Alex, you are a kind soul. This was a necessary video and I can see how much you care about your fans. Thank you for your kindness. You’ll never know the impact this video has had on me.

I have gone through the entire Disturbed catalogue and this has to be one of their most powerful and moving pieces they have made.

Darkness is their most emotional song.

Hi my name is callum I am 16 and I am suicidal I’ve tried taking my own life many times I just want to thank you so much for doing this video it has really helped me to think of other things to distract me from thinking of trying to take my own life again and for that I thank you so much

First time hearing this tune, thank you for bringing this to those who would not normally listen to the band. Keep rocking it your a cool cat ,🤘

Thanks Alex for reviewing Disturbed, great music with a message. Love U too!.!🤩

Definitely my favorite disturbed guitar solo

first off, I am so happy that you've never had to deal with that kind of depression second this song is a visceral depiction of that type of depression... way too many of us have seen it and feel it. adendum I'm sorry you've had those thoughts too, this imagery used is the anger and heartache of those of us who live with it every day. I hope you never fully understand this video.

Now you are starting to understand why I love this band So much and the messages they put out with Thier songs are real. They are raw. A few of these songs were on a playlist that helped got me through a 2 year depression. I suggest the song "The Light" During his shows on this tour He had everyone that was going through depression or addiction raise thier hands and it gave me chills when he did it in my hometown just to know Just how many out there are struggling just like I am. YOU ARE NOT ALONE. Sometimes darkness can show you the light. Powerful song and it exactly fulfils the band's goal of empowering people to get through thier struggles in life. Stay strong my brothers and sisters. We can fight and we can win together.

You are my all time favourite reaction channel! Watching your videos always make me feel happy and comforted. It has such a huge impact when a community like this is created.

Listen to some Five Finger Death Punch Some songs you should hear: Coming Down Wrong Side Of Heaven Gone Away

''Don't Watch This If You Cry Easily!!'' Auww, that's sending out the wrong message Alex.

Yeah I agree Alex, this was serious topic David sung about. Very cool you said what you did near the end 🙏 Great review as always!

Holy shit! I just subscribed to you brother after watching for the first time a video by you: Your reaction to Korn's Daddy. I commented on it and went off on a tangent about how much Jonathan Davis has inspired and inadvertently helped me through the years. How much I pray for his well being with his recent loss in my own special way, etc. etc. I had a good cry after I typed that very personal tangent out after realizing the gigantic wall of text I left that naturally spewed out of me when I heard that song again and felt what you were feeling. I even apologized for it in the comment. I subscribed to this channel immediately and then told myself I needed a little break from the internet to clear my head. Shortly after I came back to your channel to watch another video. I didn't heed the warning in the title of this video because I told myself "Well, I don't mind crying. Just did not that long ago." I can honestly say I didn't cry based on this video or your reaction. I'm just in awe of Disturbed. They never cease to amaze me with their messages and talent! I'm glad I subscribed to you @Alex Hefner. I just need a break from this inner demon fuel though and watch some dog or cat videos or something similar to cleanse my "mental palette". :D Next time I heed your warnings in the titles! :) It's a pleasure to be here and I look forward to watching more of your content in the future! Take care my new friend and I hope everyone in this amazing community is staying safe as well.

the year i turned 50, i had been so sick for a couple years, and was seeing no way of it getting better, my daughter was pregnant with my 1st grandchild. my son is a special need adult & i take care of him and his paperwork. my mom needed me to.she's 82 with heart issues. my death could/would have triggered hers. and 3 dear friends who also would be hurt if i checked out as well. and my dog. I've had him since he was 8 wks old, he's 17 now. i couldn't leave him alone he's had seizures since 2015. i know him and his nature best and thus can take care of him the best. i have siblings but the age difference is so great we simply don't talk. my death might hurt them, briefly, i don't think it'd make that big of a deal to them. so while i just wanted it to end? i chose not to because i knew it would devastate this group of people & my furkid. i chose to stay and fight. BUT i came so close to ending it, i literally was on constant watch over my own thoughts and moods. i developed coping strategies for myself...etc. i am just now getting back to good. and SOOO glad i chose to stay. truthfully if i didn't have that handful of people & my furkid? i would have checked out. would not have a had a reason to stay. i'm lucky because i have had so many psych classes & other learning experiences, i was able figure it out. and lastly? best advice my mom EVER gave me, 1 quote. "This To Shall Pass" 4 small words but huge impact. cheers!

Whitechapel: When a Demon Defiles A Witch, Try it

Yeeeyyyyy... This was my request before... Thanks Alex!! 😍❤️

As someone who struggles daily with suicidal thought this song hit me very hard. Since I can't seem to find hope for myself,, I hope it gets better for everyone else going through this mindset.

I can imagine, I lost my fiance' 3 weeks from officially tying the know to suicide, and I was unfortunate enough to have to take her rigomortis body down. I was panicking soo much ( I used to be 250lbs w/6-8% Bodyfat(that means a six-pack, w/22inch arms, 28-inch waist, 19-inch neck, and 33inch thighs) I was shaking so much to undo the noose that I had to break the upper down with my fists to break it off and get her down. I only brought the bodybuilding thing because after that I went downhill fast drinking etc. it been shy of 7 years now. And I still blame myself.

Hi Alex! Please react to Avantasia: the scarecrow or the wicked symphony or the ravenchild Avantasia is a German supergroup metal opera project created by Tobias Sammet, vocalist of the band Edguy. It has been characterized as a rock opera, as it features the contributions of various vocalists and musicians and it consists of concept albums. Some of the guest that have been featured on Avantasia are: Michael Kiske (Helloween), Jørn Lande, Alice Cooper, Klaus Meine(Scorpions), Dee Snider(Twisted sisters), Marco Hietala(Nightwish), Sharon den Adel(Within Temptation), Hansi Kursch(Blind Guardian) For sure you will love that band. Hoping you will react to one of there songs one day. Greetings from Germany.

This song saved my life a few years ago, stopping me from committing a rather violent suicide for my 7th and certainly final attempt. It'll always have a place in my heart.

In the past few years I've experienced the loss of 2 uncles to suicide.. still in my head and heart.. thanks to bands like disturbed that put out music like this, they have been the only thing in my life since day one that has remained the same this song and their newer one "Already gone" are works of art. Thank you for sharing this with people, and please if anyone has ever had thoughts to take their life.. please reach out it's very difficult and draining. We all need support, no one can do it all on their own. A music nation is a nation of family.

Excelent vídeo 👏👏 Fade in/ fade out nothing more❤ please

“The Light” - Disturbed

I remembee fitkrst hearing this song when it came out in i think 2008, i could not get enough of it, listened to it over and over again. 13 years later and this song is still one of my absolute songs ever. It's a song that's really helped me throughout my life.

Been waiting for you to do this song! Disturbed is such a talented band. They're such amazing storytellers and you can tell that David's lyrics come from a very real place. More by them to check out would be Asylum, Voices, The Game, Remember, Prayer, The Animal. You pretty much can't go wrong.

Glad you finally checked out more Disturbed! This song has always hit very close to home for me. If you want to listen to more of them you should check out "Asylum", "The Night" or "Ten Thousand Fists"!

well, as always, if you need some tears flowing listen to "Godsmack - under your scars" ......and if you need a sledgehammer in your face (not literally ;) ) "Orbit Culture - Nensha"

Man, this hit hard...my best friend hung himself in April 2019...I can`t even put into words the trail of pain that all his family and friends have been walking on since that day...

Brother you really need to get into some more Disturbed reactions. The animal, indestructible and and decadance are all amazing tracks! Keep it up man you are my favourite reaction channel which does metal! Love from the UK brah

Definitely listen to The Game, Sons of Plunder, and Prayer by Disturbed, amazing songs! And Polyamorous by Breaking Benjamin

Disturbed.... ASSYLUM This is the next song in the chapter 🔥🔥

A little background on the song: Devon, who is mentioned in the song, was Draimen’s (the frontman, lead singer) ex-girlfriend who killed herself via hanging while he was away. He went into a depression and considered joining her in death, but overcame it after some time. The song was written about that experience in his life. Draimen makes sure, whenever he performs the song, to bring up the importance of mental health in some capacity, since the song is about struggling with depression and grief.

Alex Hefner thank you for your dialogue following the video. This hit me hard as I have very recently lost a dear friend to this silent killer. I have a profound respect for you.

You need to listen to hold onto memories

On the other side of this they have a newr song called "The Light" you need to react to

great video Alex! jeez it's been a while since I heard inside the fire!

My father, my Uncle, 2 Cousins, my best friend from High school, 2 Girlfriends and almost me myself fell victim to this Never stop talking about your feelings or feel afraid or ashamed to bear your soul, there is always, always someone or something that can help you through it no matter how dark, endless and pointless it all may seem Bless all your hearts

When He is covered in blood He is playing the Devil trying to convince Him to kill Himself to be with Her.

React to Heaven Shall Burn - Hunters Will Be Hunted

I watch your videos because you're an amazing person and I love seeing you journey through the amazing world that is metal. Been quite a ride my brother. Love ya to man. :)

It's something between very hard and a good feeling to confront myself with this topic and so with my own suicidal past. So happy and indeed lucky to got through this without...yeah...dying.

One of my favorite disturbed songs 😎real man, real.

React to sabaton-coat of arms or the price of a mile

Holy F**king edit Batman !!! Long time fan of this band, never new about this full version of this song. Couldn't understand the warning in the title or the introduction of the video. As it turns out, they have 2 versions of the video in their official channel and i always watched the short version. Definitely wasn't expecting this. :|

As mentioned by several other people, this song was inspired by true life events that David went through when he was young. The lyrics are a huge reflection of the thoughts that he had at the time. "Give your soul to me For eternity Release your life To begin another time with her End your grief with me There's another way Release your life Take your place inside the fire with her" Basically, it's his inner demons speaking to him, telling him to also commit suicide so he can be with her because being without her is too painful.
