Metalcore outfit Above All returns after a twenty-year hiatus to unleash chaos on the metal scene. 'Disarm The Gods' is their first record back, released last month via Memphia Music Management.
The band made their triumphant return during the 2020 lockdown, headlining the successful 'Then and Now Hardcore Festival' the following summer. The band were officially back with new guitarist Jay Rowe, and their first release in 26 years.
'Disarm The Gods' is a three-track EP steeped full of the brutality and aggression the average fan of Metalcore would come to expect. Produced and mixed by Charlie Wilson at Monolith Studio, the band return with a menacing growl and intense swagger.
The title track 'Disarm the Gods' is a hostile three minutes of strong vocals full of anger and raw emotion, accompanied by thunderous breakdowns and cutting riffs that slice right through you.
Next up is the equally blistering 'Deadweight' full of rage. The howling vocals, groovy breakdown and finger blistering drum fill and leads make this a throwback to the old-school metal of the '90s when bands like Machine Head and the aforementioned Fear Factory were cutting their teeth on the scene.
And finally, 'Foot to Throat' has more grooves to the intense guitar leads, as well as a slick solo to complete a satisfactory teaser for Above All and their future aspirations.
Rating 8/10
