The gentle yet brooding first half of the song perfectly pads the spacey atmosphere and shots of our blue, white and green marbled world as seen from afar pan across the screen. Other images highlight human kind's mark on the planet as we see grids of cities illuminating an otherwise pitch black sky alongside bursts of sunlight bending around the curvature of the Earth and more.
Since its release in 2015 as part of Disturbed’s chart-topping comeback record, Immortalized, “The Sound of Silence” has been certified double platinum by the RIAA and was nominated for a Grammy at the 2017 Grammy Awards. When we spoke to singer David Draiman about the Grammy honor and the cover receiving the nod of approval from Paul Simon, he said “Your ultimate wish is for the artist to hopefully give you their blessing. It's rare if they end up getting pissed off by it (laughs), but it is a possibility and it is really, really nice when you get a songwriter as terrific as Paul to reach out to say that he appreciated what you did with one of the most well known songs of all-time."
Disturbed have finished their touring cycle for their most recent album and have vowed to return with a new acoustic EP before fans will be able to bite into another riff-charged studio record rife with new and empowering anthems to stand alongside the classics.

This is the best rendition of SOS (Sound
of Silence by David Draiman) since its release in 1964. A powerful and moving
melody and lyrics performed by a first class band. Disturbed and David Draiman
performed exceptionally with a tremendous feeling that captivates the audience.
The song played at Conan just added to the creativity, mistiness and
professionalism of Disturbed.
Keep on climbing the charts worldwide - over
293 million hits on youtube and over 69 million on Conan.

Serenade to the Art of Listening to One’s Inner Voice Amid the Noise of Modern
Life.
A tender reminder that silence is not
the absence of sound but the presence of an inward-listening awareness.
