D.I.S – Critical Failure (2010)

All-star band D.I.S grace us today with the Trash/Crust influenced D-beat that will surely blow you away. Featuring members of Phobia, Exhumed, Mange, Impaled and Eat The Living, this band is ready to kick ass and take names. “Critical Failure” is their long-awaited debut album and they have pretty much delivered in every single aspect with this album.

If you are expecting anything original or innovative, you have picked the wrong genre and thus the wrong band/album. D.I.S is something that most nostalgic people about the old days of Hardcore punk will treasure and completely identify with. The band’s Swedish sound is very thick and will blow you away.

Some of the Crust and Trash elements round-up this release nicely and the punkish drumming and vocal style are the most notable (and enjoyable) things about this release. As you can expect this album is short and sweet, all songs showcase enough rage to leave you plastered to the wall if you play this too loud.

A surprising element of this album is the Slayer sounding clean vocals that are fast as hell and provide a nice narration to the trashy riffage attack from D.I.S. There is not much else we can say except that you should definitely check out this well crafted release.
