DeepRockDrive, the world's first interactive online concert venue, has launched a global free concert series in partnership with Pepsi starring Disturbed. The series reinforces DeepRockDrive's prominence as the world's most popular destination for online, interactive concerts.

Presented by Pepsi, five compelling live acts will be performing to global audiences beginning May 16th through May 29th 2008. Kicking off with country music’s hottest new act, Lady Antebellum on Friday, May 16, the series continues with YouTube sensation Marié Digby on May 18, singer/songwriter and guitarist Matt Nathanson on May 27, and culminating with hard rock’s Disturbed on May 29.

Disturbed will be performing to global audiences @ 7PM PST. During the set, fans will be able to communicate and interact with the band in real time via the revolutionary service that DeepRockDrive has created.

Of the band's participation in DeepRockDrive, Disturbed singer David Draiman said, “We are looking forward to taking part of something this unique and powerful.”

Thanks to the support of Pepsi, the shows in this series are available free of charge, bringing a front row seat to music fans from Las Vegas to London, San Francisco to Singapore, and anywhere where a broadband connection is available.

The innovation extends to the marketing of the concerts, as DeepRockDrive’s service enables a direct bridge between artists and their fans.

Free tickets are limited and it's first come first serve. Users may redeem their free ticket to the show at this location.

Disturbed self-produced their forthcoming album, 'Indestructible', which will be released June 3rd on Reprise Records.

Disturbed have just unveiled their video for “Inside the Fire,” the first single from the forthcoming, 'Indestructible', which hits stores June 3rd. The video was directed by Nathan “Karma” Cox who has also helmed videos for Bleeding Through and HIM among others.

Both the lyrics of “Inside the Fire” as well as the video’s storyline tell the real life tale of a suicide that personally affected Disturbed vocalist, David Draiman. Knowing the pain and sensitive nature of the subject Draiman precedes the video with a public service announcement for the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline. The video can be seen below.
