Disturbed [ tickets ]'s second Music as a Weapon package tour kicks off in early March with a roster that also includes Taproot [ tickets ], Chevelle [ tickets ] and Unloco [ tickets ].

Metal-quartet Disturbed is supporting its sophomore effort, last September's "Believe." The album debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 album chart, and has sold more than a million copies to date, according to the group's official website.

"Believe" houses the hit "Prayer" and the group's latest single, "Remember." The "Prayer" music video is streaming at the group's website, while MTV2 began airing the "Remember" music video this week.

Fellow metal act Taproot is also supporting a sophomore effort, last October's "Welcome.' Toby Wright (Alice in Chains, Korn, Metallica) produced the set, and Andy Wallace (Nirvana, Foo Fighters) mixed.

Chicago-based trio Chevelle released its major-label debut, "Wonder What's Next," last August, while Unloco is set to deliver its second major-label effort, "Becoming 1," in March.

Disturbed's first Music as a Weapon outing took place in the fall of 2001, and featured Drowning Pool, Adema, Stereomud and Systematic.
