Heavy metal band Disturbed rolled into Raleigh, N.C. on a hot night, and the night only got hotter when David Draiman, Dan Donegan, Mike Wengren, and John Moyer took the stage. The Wednesday night concert was rescheduled from a date earlier this summer that was postponed due to storms.

Here are photos from the concert:
