S/R/E Recordings/Columbia Records band Disciple returns with their major label sophomore effort Scars Remain - in-stores nationwide on November 7th. Filled with hard-rock and metal anthems and power ballads, it’s a heavier, meatier album than their previous self-titled release.
DISCIPLE, the foursome from Knoxville, Tenn., goes for broke with Scars Remain. The band incorporates exceptional songwriting with a level of intensity they haven’t displayed in years, while sticking to their rock roots. “I’m screaming as well as singing and the songs are so fun to play,” says singer Kevin Young. “The songs are a lot heavier than anything we’ve done in a while.”
In the rock and metal scene, everyone displays power and volume. DISCIPLE goes beyond that and also displays their eclectic style. From the chugging rhythms and muted licks exploding into a powerful riff of squealing harmonics on the title track to the political statement via head-banging guitars in “Game On” and the rock ballad of “After The World,” complete with acoustic guitars, DISCIPLE leaves no genre omitted.
Since their debut release in 2004, DISCIPLE has been on the path to fame. Their previous albums have received much praise from the press. Billboard called the album “An impressive debut for these gifted musicians.” For the four men from Tennessee, who play venues from churches to ratty bars to arenas, the press is hard-up to find anything negative to say.
Scars Remain is similar to the debut with “…hard-driving energy with infectious hooks (The Dallas Morning News).” “Big, grinding… maintains the edge,” as per Guitar World. But DISCIPLE is aiming to prove HM Magazine wrong, when they wrote about the previous album “If this isn’t the most successful album of Disciple’s career, this reviewer will eat a bug.”
