Providing nothing new whatsoever, Stockholm, Sweden-based thrashers Disarray still pack a mighty Kreator-styled snap with their sophomore release. As the young foursome marches through \u2018Bound To Kill\u2019 I hear a Megadeth<\/a> traipse mashed with a Brazilian rawness, especially in the lethal vocal spits of Lucas Lee.<\/p>\n

Religious Disease<\/em> is one moment a sniping Sadus, the next a primitive Destruction<\/a>, but wherever this album roams you\u2019ll be assured that it\u2019ll be a hectic ride into the underground. Members, Lucas (vocals and lead guitar), Valter Emerot (rhythm guitar), Edvin Mossfeldt (bass) and Morgan Otttenvang (drums) don\u2019t necessarily construct primitive noise, but it most certainly has a real spine of malice, especially with the buzzing guitar tone on my favourite song \u2018Psychosis\u2019.<\/p>\n

Here, the band provides a steady chugging riff to accommodate the rasping snaps. Indeed, the band is quite the force with those mid-range grooves; I refer to the monstrous \u2018Guilty Until Proven Innocent\u2019 with its hefty backbone of bass and chopping riffage. But hey, let\u2019s not get too carried away here, after all the top leagues of thrash metal are difficult tiers to infiltrate, but with time I can see Disarray becoming a recognised face among the crowd of sound-alike bands.<\/p>\n

\u2018Hell\u2019s Fire\u2019 is lethal in its attack although measured its approach as again that bass rattles like a fully armoured vehicle ascending the slopes, and \u2018Realize You\u2019re Already Dead\u2019 scowls with mocking aplomb as the drums kick the rib cage like a rain of bullets. Meanwhile, \u2018Nightmarish Gaze\u2019 begins with timely doom strikes before its steady riff ascent that\u2019s built on foundations of 1986.<\/p>\n

Tucked away towards the rear end of the album is \u2018Apostate\u2019, another gem of a cut with some truly disturbing hack n\u2019 slash jabs as again the days of early Kreator come to the fore. Sure, there\u2019s a familiarity throughout the album, but then again Disarray also throws in a few punky shifts alongside what are already riveting changes between steady wickedness and faster sniping.<\/p>\n

In a world that is indeed in Disarray, let Religious Disease<\/em> be your soundtrack to the coming apocalypse because this is thrash of much quality and bite.<\/p>\n
