Disturbed....

[KiwiCoromandel]

I don`t mind Krokus at all...the track "Russian Winter" from the album "HeadHunter" is a favourite of mine....i must admit i`m very inclined towards european power metal bands and artists of the last 20 ears or so like krokus, udo, scorpions, helloween, blind guardian and artists like Kai Hansen...Udo Dirkschneider, Michael Schenker, Klaus Mein etc...i like the guttural teutonic sound that you get from some european metal vocalists..and the full frontal guitar playing....KMFDM are a favourite of mine too..although that`s not quite metal i guess...

Idk shouldn't this be in the Rock section? Disturbed is more of a radio friendly Hard Rock band... Wouldn't classify them as Metal.

No, it should not.

As per their MySpace page, they show themselves being classified as "Metal / Rock / Other."

This is an official page, which has their copyrighted music and, therefore, their blessing. Metal can be looked upon as a subgenre of Rock by some, but not I. These are just tags, of course, but they had a choice which genre went first, and they chose Metal...as all smart people should.

Compared to Veil of Maya or The Human Abstract, they seem pretty lightweight, but this does not remove them from a Metal classification.
