THE DISASTER “Black and White and Red All Over”
Wow!!! I will keep this review as simple and to the point as possible. THE DISASTER sound like the most incredible combination of KID DYNAMITE, IN MY EYES, and AMERICAN NIGHTMARE that I have ever heard. Great lyrics, fast-paced drumming, blazing guitars, and thumping bass propel this disc into an 11 song, 19 minute fireball of fury. Although nothing entirely new is being constructed, this is the ‘hardcore’ sound that I most rely on to get myself energized. THE DISASTER have delivered one emotionally fantastic release that emphasizes all that is right about having passion for hardcore (“Color Me Colonial”), and all that is true about fatalistic thoughts in moments of utter despair (“An Ode to A Dawn That Will Never Come”). Jaw-dropping artwork and packaging (it’s one of those clear cds, woo!), plus stellar, vibrant production top off “Black and White…” sealing its place as a release that I’m going to be talking about for a long time to come. Consider yourself warned when I start saying, “I told you so.”
