Disiplin is a brand new acquaintance for me; their (press-liked) self-titled debut album that was released a year ago didn't cross my path.
And now they returns with "Anti-Life" that's supposed to take the band to the next level.
With their Thrashy Black Metal, these Norwegians aren't following the typical Norwegian recipe; they are standing on their own feet's.

Since I'm no fan of the Blackish way of playing Metal, I first never ever thought I would have anything to get from this release, so it soon ended up at the bottom of the reviewing pile. But today it found it's way to my stereo and I was a bit surprised at first, since it wasn't really what I thought it would be.
When I was expecting a Black Metal band like in the Old Norwegian School, I got a band that's mixing Black with Thrash in a very good and modern way.
And the music actually appeal me much more than regular Black, that I can't listen too more than 3 seconds before I'll get bored.

Anyway, "Anti-Life" is not a bad album, it's really not. Disiplin's sound might not be original, but it's surely harder to find than usual Black.
The Thrash-influences is making it much easier to listen to, and it's adding a "melodic" feeling to the music (that's two things Black Metal usually misses).
But then we comes to the part of the review where I'm supposed to say what I personally thinks of the music.
In this case it's a bit divided, I like it because of the almost original music and because they are skilled musicians, but still Black Metal is not a genre for me, in almost any way.

The music is fast, very fast, and it contains many elements from Black, such as monotonous guitars, blast-beats and vocals right from the other side of the grave. And that's exactly what I don't like.
But it also contains lines of melody, where guitars, bass and drums slows down and creates a melodic rhythm, and that's what I like about it.

Pretty hard to explain, as you might understand after reading what I wrote above, but that's as close as I can get without just repeating myself over and over again, as an old record player.
So I won't go on anymore, I'll just conclude this review with saying: If you want a band that's playing a more "melodic" and modern, but still hard Black Metal, then try Disiplin, a new band that surely will remain around for many years ahead.
