Reviews
DARK DISCIPLE - UNHOLY HATE GORE - MORBID
Dark Disciple is a hitherto underground band from Maryland with rabidly anti-Christian views and music that smacks of Morbid Angel, Deicide and Vital Remains. The short, but vicious, album features ten death metal tracks with speed, heaviness and gruff vocals. The lead guitarists occasionally launches into an early Morbid Angel guitar diddling which is good to hear. On the other hand, the album's sound leaves a lot to be desired. The demo-quality recording must originally have been an independent recording which Morbid Records eventually pressed onto CD. The drum sound, to be specific, varies from heavy to light and pots and panish. The guitars are muffled and lose some of their power because of the recording quality.
Dark Disciple's debut album is a trade-off between the brutality of death metal and the limitations of a small recording budget. - Ali "The Metallian"
