Disaffected/Rebirth/Massacre Records/2012 CD Review


  Disaffected  are  a  band  from  Portugal  that  plays  a  very  atmospheric  form  of  technical death/thrash  metal  and  this  is  a  review  of  their  2012  album  "Rebirth"  which  was  released  by  Massacre  Records.

  Drums  range  from  slow,  mid  paced  to  fast  drumming  with  some  blast  beats  being  thrown  into  the  music  at  times,  while  the  synths  bring  a  very  dark  and  atmospheric  sound  to  the  music,  as  for  the  bass  playing  it  has  a  very  strong  and  powerful  sound  with  progressive  riffing  that  dominates  throughout  the  recording.

  Rhythm  guitars range  from  slow,  mid  paced  to  fast  progressive/technical  death/thrash  riffs  that  utilize  a  great  amount  of  melody,  talent  and  skill  with  some  soft  and  clean  playing  being  utilized  at  times,  while  the  lead  guitars  are  very  melodic  and  technical  sounding  guitar  solos  and  leads,  as  for  the  acoustic  guitars  when  they  are  utilized  they  use  finger  picking  and  full  chords  to  add  a  variety  of  many  different  influences  from  many  different  musical  genres.

  Vocals  range  from  death/thrash  style  screams  and  growls  as  well  as  some  spoken  word  parts,  samples,  male  and  female  clean  signing,  while  the  lyrics  cover  dark  themes,  as  for  the  production  it  has  a very  strong,  powerful,  heavy  and  professional  sound  where  you  can  hear  all  of  the  musical  instruments  that  are  present  on  this  recording.

  In  my  opinion  Disaffected  are  a  very  great  sounding  progressive  and  technical  atmospheric  death/thrash  metal  band  and  if you  are  a  fan  of  this style,  you  should  check  out  this  recording.  RECOMMENDED  TRACKS  INCLUDE  "Getting  Into  The  Labyrinth"  "Evilution  Within"  "Hypnotic  Prophecy"  and  "The  Rebirth Of".  RECOMMENDED  BUY.
