Disaffection are Slayer-iffic thrash metal from Brazil. These guys have done their homework, studying the late 80’s American thrash metal scene and using this as the basis for their sound. Disaffection unashamedly wear their influences on their sleeves, sounding like a combination of Exodus and Slayer complete with machine gun riffing, shouted gang vocals, fast guitar licks, and those all important mosh beats and quick double bass assaults. There are no experiments with other styles of metal or rock. The CD opens up with noises of war noises before breaking into a furious thrash metal anthem. From this point on, the aggression and speed never lets up. “Stupid Ideas” is a catchy song and slows things down just slightly with only the slightest hint of groove. The Brazilian accent become very apparent in the song, though I find it adds to the appeal of the band’s sound. “Mytstery of God” is equally infectious, with it’s shout along chorus and head banging riffs. “Begin the Revolution” is thrash for thrash sake. Disaffection aren’t pretending to be the most creative band in the world. Rather, they are thrash metal fans in a thrash metal band. Nothing more, nothing less. Strap on on your bullet belt, your denim vest and prepare to enter the mosh pit. Disaffection will usher you in.

In 1982 Daniel Band burst on the scene with their song Im Sorry, the lead single from their debut album On Rock. Daniel Band was one of the very first hard rock/metal bands with a Christian message. This debut was raw and full of energy that expanded the scope of hard music in the church. In 1982, there were 4 hard rock bands with a Christian message that could be found in your local bookstore. There was Jerusalem, Rez Band, Petra, Barnabas - and now Daniel Band! Christian rockers thought theyd found pure gold in Daniel Band! With those Geddy Lee (Rush) vibes and the wild and dirty guitar tones (ala Ted Nugent, early Kiss, AC/DC) throughout the album, fans knew they had something special with On Rock! This 2010 Collectors Edition has been digitally remastered (far better than the 2001 reissue on Magdalene Records) and features the songs It All Turns To Rain and I Give You All as new tracks recorded by the band in 2009 for this special release! To commemorate this classic release, retroactive Records asked Christian hard rock/metal historian Keven Crothers (White Throne Blog) to reflect on the significance of this historic album in the liner notes. Long out of print and hard-to-find, now is your chance to capture the hard edged charm of the debut release from Daniel Band on this Collectors Edition release. Its never sounded or looked better!
