"Stricken" came out in 2005 as the second single from Ten Thousand Fists, Disturbed's third album, and it found the band easing off the chug just long enough to let Dan Donegan cut loose: it's among the first Disturbed songs with a real guitar solo. Donegan wrote it with David Draiman and Mike Wengren, and the band produced it with Johnny K, with Ben Grosse mixing. John Moyer and Wengren lock the rhythm down tight while Draiman goes for a soaring, bruised chorus.
The video was shot in an abandoned hospital where parts of A Nightmare on Elm Street had been filmed, WWE made the song the theme of its New Year's Revolution pay-per-view in 2006, and it has since gone triple platinum in the US.
