It is also the first Disturbed album to not have the Parental Advisory label. ''Ten Thousand Fists'' marks the first album with bassist John Moyer who replaced Steve Kmak following his dismissal in 2003. However, he was considered a session musician during the time of recording, and only became a full-time member during the tour supporting the album.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Disturbed Finds New Bassist )〕 It would be the band's third and final collaboration with mainstay producer Johnny K. He would later appear full-bodied in the music video for "Land of Confusion".

Vocalist David Draiman said the motive behind releasing the song was to promote the album. He said, "(song ) was put out there to just whet everybody's appetite. It's one of the more aggressive tracks on the record, just to remind everybody where we came from and who we are."〔 The first single, "Stricken", was released on July 25, 2005. On August 19, 2005 the music video "Stricken", directed by Nathan Cox, was posted on the Warner Bros. Records website. The music video was filmed in an abandoned hospital, in the same location where some scenes from the 1984 horror film ''A Nightmare on Elm Street'' were filmed. In early August 2005, viral marketing was used to promote ''Ten Thousand Fists''. A piece of software was sent via e-mail to certain recipients, who passed it along to other recipients. When the software was passed along to at least 250,000 recipients, it unlocked the song "Ten Thousand Fists". In early July 2006, the third single, "Land of Confusion" (originally written by Genesis), was released, alongside an animated music video directed by Todd McFarlane.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Disturbed's version of "Land of Confusion" is timely )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ten Thousand Fists」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
