Capullo & McFarlane Create Cover Art For Disturbed CD

The rock band Disturbed will unveil the cover art for its forthcoming Ten Thousand Fists album by renowned comic artist Greg Capullo and producer/director/artist Todd McFarlane on Wednesday, Aug. 17. The image above is a teaser of the whole cover and the intriguing album art has been under wraps but incorporates imagery from the band's past.

Singer David Draiman explained the album art: "We wanted to bring our old icon, the Disturbed smiley face, whom we call 'the guy' to life. I came up with a concept that embodied what the record was about, the 'guy' leading an army of people from all walks of life and all colors of skin, with their fists raised in unison, as a symbol of unity, strength and defiance with an azure sky in the background. Being a fan of the Spawn comic book series and the artwork that Todd and his company have done in the past, we could think of no better team to bring this idea to life. We are incredibly pleased with the piece, and think it is the most striking and certainly our favorite of the three covers."

McFarlane commented: "The hardest part of doing any album cover art is making that piece different enough from all the other CDs that may be surrounding it at a store. I believe that Greg Capullo and I have delivered an image that will be evocative and inspiring. Much like the music that Disturbed has unleashed upon us."
