DISARRAY
The Darkening
(Jawbreaker Records)
25:40min

This is a short EP with two additional live tracks from 2025. They’re a Swedish Thrash Metal band from Stockholm. Try to picture a KREATOR in the “Pleasure To Kill” era. Very fast and aggressive, but it also has some melodic and groovy riffs. ‘Lord Of Lies’ is a mid-tempo song that starts with a melodic guitar duo that turns into a crunchy one with some interesting parts. The beginning of ‘Mass Abuse Power’ reminded me of NAPALM DEATH’s ‘Multinational Corporations’ to then turn into generic Thrash with a couple of DEATH rhythms. By the 2:42 mark it becomes more interesting. The last original song has blast beats. Of all the Metal genres Thrash is the only one that hadn’t evolved that much. I don’t think that there’s much room to evolve. So as long as you give us a couple of great songs within the limits it would be a good album. These guys have two albums and two singles, but they’re still young so they could get better. I don’t know where the live parts where played at, but they sound great. They’re professionally recorded. I kind of liked the live tracks better than the EP. www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61566552307142, www.facebook.com/jawbreakerrecords
