Cover Art by Disguise

How to mix in a really good way extreme brutality with interesting compositions? Well, maybe listening to Disguise´s music will give you an answer. This band plays what I would call black/death metal with a lot of keyboards ideas that add originality to each of the compositions. Here you have extreme vocals (a mix of guttural vocals and of the type used in balck metal bands) mixed with fast riffs with twisted guitar ideas (as you may listen in "The Unchangeable Truth (2:35)) and many keyboard melodies and passages that give the darkest feeling to each of the songs while at the same time contrasting with the guitars and adding interesting arrangements to the compositions. I would define Disguise´s music as the perfect balance between what is extreme and brutal and what is subtle and original.

Favorite tracks: "The Unchangeable Truth", "The Calice of Death" and "Puppets..."
