I have some good news and some bad news for Thrash fans throughout the state of Florida. The good news is that Thrash is alive and well and appears to be making a comeback. The bad news is that there are only a small handful of Florida bands playing high profile shows here so far. One band who is
making a mark is Sanford, FL based Great Awakening. They were most recently on the Masters of Disaster tour with three Thrash bands out of California. Witchhaven (San Bernardino), Exmortus (Whittier), and Bonded by Blood (Pomona).

Where does one begin an intro to this piece?! I was lucky enough to spend some time with Dan Donegan guitarist for Disturbed. It’s rare for Disturbed to have any quiet time. The band has been going non-stop since they hit the scene with a bang in 2000, following platinum album after platinum album and touring constantly.

AAMM: First of all congratulations on being together as a band for 10 plus years. That doesn’t happen too much these days!
Dan: Actually, David has been with the band for about 13 years, and I have been with Mike (drummer) for almost 16 yrs.
