Disparager To Release New Album “Existential Dread” May 3rd
New Video For First Single “Fall” Streaming Exclusively via Metal Sucks
An overall mesmerizing sound—melodic, heavy, urgent, atmospheric, and beautiful… Brooklyn, NY’s Disparager have staked their claim on aggressive music, taking whatever familiarity was established in the 90s, 00s, and 2010s and completely flipping you on your ass.
Produced by Jay Maas (Defeater, Bane, H2O, Counterparts) and mastered by Mike Kalajian (Machine Head, Saosin, Moving Mountains), their new LP Existential Dread is a vortex of raw human emotion. The music channels sorrow, anguish, and punishing sadness and somehow brings you back to the calm white light and makes the entire experience beautiful.
“For the sake of speaking my mind almost selfishly,” vocalist Christopher AhKao explains, “I want this record, the push that we do, the touring, and the music–especially the integrity of the music–to inspire this Brooklyn scene ‘thing’ that we are a part of to write better fucking records. I want them to hear “Existential Dread” and go ‘Holy fucking shit… we need to write better records, because Disparager did something special and made such a damn good record.’ As selfishly as I breath air, that is what I want out of this—better fucking art.”
