REVIEW: Disturbing Foresights - De-Grunged Deity Down Records, 2008
4.5/10
Disturbing Foresights - De-Grunged - cover art It's been 15 years that De-Grunged has been recorded, nevertheless, due to certain circumstances (record date label GAP Records screwed up), the album has never been able to see the light of day at time. A deal was finally signed with Dutch record label Deity Down Records and out in late March 2008. De-Grunged is a compromise between melodic hardcore and punk attitude with a little dose of crossover. About inspiration, I would name a few references to bands like Youth Brigade for the rage and energy of punk rock, Beastie Boys for its elements of hip-hop and Faith No More for its eclecticism.

I definitely am not enthralled by the lyrical content. In fact, they relate to the basic things what could happen in someone's life and heard a ton of times: drug stuff, drinking stories, world vision, loneliness etc. "Going to the Pub" is one typical song dedicated to hard-partying. Make you have some fun, imbibe booze with friends until late at night. For those who are interested in a concept CD with various styles, you may pick up that one.

Well-know for their energetic live performances, Disturbing Foresights performed several times away from home, in Czech Republic, Denmark, Germany, Belgium and other countries. During these years of activity, the line-up has changed many times. Since then, Iwan and Cor - respectively singer and drummer - are still active in Rock'n'Roll and involved with their bands. Koen (bass) and Bas (guitars) are both retired.
