Soon though after releasing a small demo tape, Erich Awalt left the band leaving the other members wither a vocalist, so they posted a ad in a popular magazine called the 'Illinois Entertainer'; and a man named David Draiman answered their ad, now that they had a singer and the other band members were very impressed with their new singer. David Draiman officially joined the band in 1996 and thereafter the band was renamed to 'Disturbed'. With their new singer in tow, 'Disturbed set out to record a two three-track demo tape cassettes that had the songs, "The Game", "Down with the Sickness", and "Meaning of Life", on the first cassette tape and "Want," "Stupify," and "Droppin' Plates" on their second tape.
