Iron Maiden have evoked their "Ghost of the Navigator" - for all their existence and with all their might, the Darmstadt, Germany based Disbelief have fought through the winds and battles of ruin. Not only in Germany, their style is unique: the highly emotional growls by Jagger burst for diversity, this strangely looking coloss doesn't just roar his lines, he lives and suffers them. Added by Germany's most massive wall of sound with storm tide high guitar walls and an overwhelming dynamic providing that the sometimes almost monotonous Disbelief-killers don't fray. Pace is of less importance - "The though product" and "Sacrifice" set several sails - what counts is pure survival. Despite some breaks featuring soft guitars or reducing the tension through hidden chorals, like in "When silence is broken", the sea is rough in "Selected" or "The one". The shallow waters of "Between red lines" finally bring relief: the team has overtaken "6 6 Sick" and mastered this storm, too.
