Ill name, ill logo, ill tunes. Disorienting and constantly up-tempo death metal with atypical arrangements and a stalker-like obsession for Unseen Terror, Terrorizer, and Napalm Death. Disharmonic Orchestra was one of a small cadre of preferentially death-oriented European grind bands that materialized between the release of Napalm Death's first two albums, with D.O. also gleefully indulging in a dark technicality that never wanks. Drums get the fuck dowwwwwwn, gruff vocals bark cold hate, and guitar/bass tones mimic Master. The band has my respect for the power and speed they could project with boombox recording methods ("Requiem For The Forest" is what got them signed). Just as original and refreshing as it was 28 years ago, if you want a goddamn j-o-u-r-n-e-y through time and your mind, this is the stuff (I think it's more engaging than the vinyl).
