DISFEAR - Live the Storm CD
Imagine, if you will, DISCHARGE in a head on collision with MOTORHEAD at a Gothenberg intersection with a melodic death metalhead standing nearby cheering it on. Yeah well that's what you would expect since this is Tomas Lindberg's hardcore project. And if 2003's Misanthropic Generation CD was an experiment in the potencial. Then Live the Storm is definitely the mighty beast unleashed to it's fullest extent. Thankfully Lineberg saved his AT THE GATES influences for this year's reunion shows. Because on here he come's off like a man on a mission, diving head first into a music scene that just doesn't care. The Hardcore Punk music scene has always been suspicious of Metal bands dicking around in the realm of the Underground. But that was in the mid-eighties, by the late eighties and early nineties what people called hardcore was actually full blown Metal. And Live the Storm could've been the best release of 1991.
On here the music is full blown Euro Trash early 80's era Hardcore with Lineberg's vocals more intense than a man half his age. In 1979/1980 we called DISCHARGE and all the bands that copied them Hardcore, not crust-core and not D-Beat. Those are quaint rock revisionist reviewer terms by people who were not around then. If anything they were tagged as another "DIS-band". In fact the opener "Get It Off" almost sounds like an outake from DISCHARGE's "Hear Nothing See Nothing Say Nothing" or a genuine ripoff. Having former ENTOMBED guitarist Uffe Cederlund on board now
most likely helped in that formula. Because from that opener up until the last cut, "Phantom" a seven plus minute over indulgence, Live the Storm is a retro blast. The only things missing are the anarchy symbols and spikey haircuts.
