In March 2002, Disturbed released the documentary M.O.L., which showed some of the band's more personal moments in the studio and during tours, and featured several music videos and live performances. M.O.L. was later certified platinum by ARIA.^[8] Disturbed then released their second studio album, Believe, in September 2002. It peaked at number one on the US Billboard 200 and New Zealand's Recorded Music NZ (RMNZ) charts, as well as number two on the Canadian Albums Chart.^[2][9] Believe was certified double platinum by the RIAA, and platinum by ARIA and Music Canada (MC).^[4][5] The album's first single, "Prayer", peaked at number 14 on the Canadian Singles Chart, and number 31 on the UK Singles Chart.^[10][11] A music video directed by the Brothers Strause included the song, but because scenes in the video resembled footage of the September 11 attacks, most television stations refused to play it.^[12] The single was followed-up by "Remember", which failed to reach the success of its predecessor. The 2003 tour Music as a Weapon II was documented on the live album, which also featured the bands Taproot, Chevelle, and Ünloco. It was released in February 2004, and reached number 148 on the US Billboard 200.^[2]

Three years after the release of Believe, Disturbed released their third studio album, Ten Thousand Fists, in September 2005.^[1] The album reached the same positions that its predecessor had; topping the US Billboard 200 and New Zealand RIANZ charts, and peaking at number two on the Canadian Albums Charts.^[2][9] It also was certified 3× platinum in the US, 2× in Canada, platinum in Australia, and gold in Germany, New Zealand and the United Kingdom. Ten Thousand Fists spawned singles such as "Guarded", "Just Stop", the Genesis cover of "Land of Confusion", and "Stricken". The latter charted at number 95 on the US Billboard Hot 100, and at number 88 on the UK Singles Chart.^[10][11] "Stricken" was later certified 3× platinum by the RIAA.^[4] Disturbed's fourth studio album, Indestructible, was released in June 2008. Like its predecessor, it peaked at number one on the US and New Zealand charts; it also reached the top position of the Canadian and Australian charts.^[2][3][9] Four singles were released for Indestructible, the title track, "Perfect Insanity", "The Night" and "Inside the Fire" (which peaked at number-one on the Mainstream Rock Songs, was certified 2× platinum by the RIAA, and was nominated for a Grammy Award in the category Best Hard Rock Performance).^[4][10] The band has released five consecutive number-one albums that have charted on the Billboard 200, with the release of their fifth studio album Asylum.^[13] Asylum was followed five years later by Immortalized (2015). The album featured a cover of "The Sound of Silence", which became their highest peaking song on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at number 42 and was certified nine-times platinum by the RIAA.^[4]
