Disma - "Towards the Megalith" Coming out on July 19th!!

Just when I thought that I was content with listening to "Leprosy" once a year, a new death metal band had to come out and blow me away. Although Disma is a brand new outfit, its members (of former bands such as Incantation, Citizen's Arrest, Assuck, and Born Against) need no introductions. These underground veterans play death metal the way purists love it played, ugly and full of aggression! Reminiscent of Grave and Goreaphobia, Disma's muddy guitar tone and thrashing drums will floor you shortly before Craig Pollard's brutally deep vocals have you swearing that the Hot Tub Time Machine just dropped you off in 1991. Perhaps there is something about this band and this particular death metal sound that nostalgically reminds me of what I fell in love with as a thirteen year old, when teenage angst and youtful enthusiasm led me to underground music and changed my life forever. Despite what your current tastes are and where your life's trajectory has led you musically, pop this record in, grab some bud lights (yeah, I said it), cut the sleeves off of your shirt, and throw those fucking horns in the air!
