"The Animal" went out in October 2010 as the third single from Disturbed's album Asylum, and singer David Draiman has said it drew heavily on that year's film The Wolfman. Guitarist Dan Donegan produced it and Neal Avron mixed it, with John Moyer on bass and Mike Wengren on drums, and the band shares the writing credit.
Its video, directed by Charlie Terrell, premiered on MTV2 that November and was the first from Asylum to show the whole band: the clip for "Another Way to Die" featured none of them, and the one for "Asylum" only Draiman. Draiman's then-fiancée, the former WWE Diva Lena Yada, turns up in it as well.
