Widowmaker

DIS is an enigma to say the least. Album starts with an acoustic piece then immediately into 2 other long brain grinding pieces you would expect from these guys. I was fortunate enough to see them play live and the music definitely maintains it's crushing ambiance that DIS emits. Would suggest Hatred for Mankind first then follow up with this cause you'll definitely need more. Not for the big four fans at all (you know; Ancraps; Megacrap, Metallicrap, and Slayer); much more intense.

Fantastic

this DIS has the feel of a concept album. There's a long slow buildup which creates a lot of suspense, and then an explosion of energy and anger. you will recognize the same intensity in the guitars and vocals that made their first album so good, but this one seems somehow more thought out. excellent album!

This is the no frills no thrills version. No inside cover art, no crazy colored record. Just the sleeve shown and a black record with some black metal (if you want to call it that) on it. Good for people who aren't into collecting vinyl for any other reason than to jam it.

Widowmaker is an Album comprised of 3 songs, Part 1, Part 2 and Part 3. Some call that unimaginative, I just say that is the simplest way to break up the behemoth this is, "Widowmaker."The album is a roller coaster of crushing highs, and desolate, thoughtful down periods.I couldn't really say what the genre is, as there are influences from many different kinds of metal, black/death/sludge being the most prevalent. The riffs vary from evil+sinister (death) to tremolo picing (black) and the distortion on this thing is just right to give that sludgey "wall of sound" feel, without being so distorted you can't hear a thing.It's a journey, due to it's highs and lows. It's a process. It's not something to listen to for 5 mins here and there, and often (for me) not something to listen to while you are doing other things. It is there to listen to when you have 40minutes to spare, close your eyes, sit back, and feel the ritual take you where you need to go.Each part, flows beautifully (in a sick way) to the next. There is a lot of hatred and intensity in this album, there is a lot "going on" and the first listen, while I thought it was good, it didn't captivate me completely and utterly. However now it gives me goosebumps, it takes a while to understand what is happening.It isn't music, it is art. And as with all art, what it means exactly is open to interpretation. This is a ritual to me, a summoning of emotions, both good, bad, and intense.This album opened my eyes to this "kind" of sound, generally only being able to enjoy the fast nature of death metal prior to this, now I can appreciate the slower nature or sludge/black metal.It feels like death metal is that instant gratification, as beautiful as it is, at times there are no secrets, or greater meanings behind it, it is just "high."However with black/sludge you have the "low", that requires patience to understand and get the most out of.With this album, you get both. The highs can tear the world apart. The hate is blistering, and has festered for years.The lows give you time to recover, reflect on what just happened, but before too long it's time to die again.5/5, really fantastic album.

It's dark, it's, heavy, it's beautiful. It takes you to a world where DIS are the mighty satanic god's. One hell of an album! Can't wait for the next album, whenever that'll be.

Awesome album

speechless

All good!
