Mysto Dysto - The Rules Have Been Disturbed
Mysto Dysto is quite an unknown name within the speed/thrash realm, even in the Netherlands, but would later become better known as Mandator.
As Mysto Dysto two demos and one self-released full-length were let loose upon the world.
What I primarily remember Mysto Dysto for is for the title of their No Aids In Hell demo. Two tracks of that demo are featured on this re-release as bonus tracks.
Listening to The Rules Have Been Disturbed I realise I missed out on quite a spunky speed/thrash band. Their sound reminding me at times of Kill Em All era Metallica, some Fistful Of Metal Anthrax (especially in Full Speed To Hell) and a bit of Doomsday For The Deceiver Flotsam and Jetsam. However, The Rules Have Been Disturbed was released before Doomsday For The Deceiver, so if their was any influence of F&J in Mysto Dysto's sound it could only have been through demo tape trading.
This album is the only one in the Dutch Metal Cult Series that has not been re-mastered. I for one don't mind that at all. The original sound is nice and rough without becoming muddled and the guitars can easily be distinguished without any instrument being too loud in the mix. The only minor gripe I have are the vocals which sound very pinched although that fact also adds to the charm of this band. Talking about vocals? is that some growling I hear in Power Of The Law?
So, in conclusion, another re-release of Dutch metal worth getting. Hopefully, Rusty Cage Records will continue reissuing Dutch metal, and hopefully next time around also some death metal like Mourning, Sempiternal Deathreign, Burial.
