Description
Disarray is back with a new EP: The Darkening! The follow-up to last year’s highly acclaimed full length album Religious Disease, is a relentless continuation of raw technical aggression from one of the most promising bands of the young Swedish thrash metal scene.
This time around, the band entered Devo Andersson’s Endarker Studio, famous for crafting some of the most brutal black metal albums in recent years. Brutality aside, Disarray’s aim has been to go both for a more technical direction while also developing a more organic presentation. The result is an astonishingly accomplished offering that shows a more mature band, still steaming with furious anger towards a world gone off the rails.
The EP contains 3 brand new songs, a re-recorded version of the title track from debut album Evil is Reborn, as well as two live tracks. If you are a fan of early Kreator or Dark Angel with a soft spot for Devastation (Chicago) and Morbid Saint, Disarray is for you.
Release date: 24 October 2025.
Tracklist:
- Poltergeist
- Lord of Lies
- Mass Abuse of Power
- Evil is Reborn
- Deafening Sound (Live)
- Forbidden of Speech (Live)
