Next Friday (3rd) Brooklyn’s melodic heavy metallers Disparager’s new album Existential Dread will be released (order here).  The LP was produced by Ja Maas (Defeater, Bane, H2O, Counterparts) and mastered by Mike Kalajian (Machine Head, Saosin, Moving Mountains). Their latest effort touches the subject surrounding human emotions such as sorrow, sadness, and anguish. As the band’s overall sound is a mix between melodic, heavy, and atmosphere, we asked the group what five band’s shaped their sound.
