REVIEW: Disbelief - Worst Enemy Massacre Records, 2001
8.5/10
Disbelief - Worst Enemy - cover art Expect nothing but the most brutal and extreme death metal existing in this world when inserting this disc in your cd player. The German band Disbelief is back again although the band was very close to a split-up after their second album when vocalist Karsten Jäger and guitarist Tommy Fritsch left the band. Karsten came back to the band though and Tommy has now been replaced by Jan-Dirk Löffler who seems to be a talented player as well. This is definitely a band in the harsher league of death metal alongside acts like Hypocrisy and Bolt Thrower. Their music is heavy as hell but that doesn´t mean that it is lacking melody. Combine the monstrous vocals of Hypocrisy with the modern gothic groove of bands like Katatonia and Lacuna Coil and you will be pretty close to the sound Disbelief has set out to explore. It is heavy, it is thick but it sounds real good. This is no doubt a very talented and promising band but I would not say that they are as astonishingly excellent as magazines like Rock Hard (9,5 out of 10) or Legacy (15 out of 15) would want you to think. However, since it is a German band you might expect these magazines to be a little overly supportive. The dark melancholic atmosphere and beautiful subtle melodies together with the tormented vocals makes this an album worth buying and death/gothic metal fans should enjoy this one. "Worst Enemy" was produced by Andy Classen (Rykers, Richthofen...) and the scary but somewhat naive cover artwork was done by none other than Thomas Ewerhard. The German death metal scene is still alive!
