Experimentation is hardly off the radar when we're discussing Norse black metal artists. Why, just take a glimpse through the career of an Ulver, Solefald or Helheim and you'll find all manner of transitions to and from bizarre, often unexplored territory. As my last exposure to the explosive black metal band Disiplin was 2005's Anti-Life, I was not at all expecting that within 5 years, the band would make a shift into industrial metal territory, but here it has transpired, with the noisy and underhanded Hostis Humani Generis. This is one noisy record, and to some it might seem slightly off putting, but I'd urge you to adjust your headsets and listen far more closely, because this is actually quite a nice mix of crashing industrial waste, somber melodic overtones and post-everything.

At its best, Hostis Humani Generis provides the listener with a landscape of hostility that slowly unveils an inner, almost mystic beauty. This aesthetic is present for much of the album, but I found it most riveting through the early pieces like "ArioSophic Initiation" or "MithrAion". The band is pretty good at coming up with some jarring, central melody as found in "The World Trembles" which seems at odds with the crushing atmosphere of the machine drumming and suppressed vocal horror, yet rhythmically flush and fulfilling. Then, there are points at which the band delves into further into their industrial territory, such as the brilliant "Revolt Against the Modern Man" which exudes a rusted reality and nihilistic void over a grooving bass.

Other tracks still seem to grasp more of a black metal aesthetic, only fragmented into constituent elements and then splattered across the drum programming and warped into an alien byproduct. These include "Knives and Thoughts" or the hostile "Vilje av Jern". But really, despite the fact that they're all dowsed in the same caustic resonance of post-human discord, no two are exactly the same. "Weltenfeind" is this epic of calm, clean guitars ringing out hauntingly against the scream of samples and feedback while a slow beat pumps like an assembly line. "Stare Into the Eyes of Vengeance" is calming, with strings plucked against a mechanical dark ambiance with a disturbing rotor effect. "Kulturkampf" is stressful, death barks across a big industrial beat while rambling strings draw tight the psyche.

By default, Hostis Humani Generis is far more interesting than anything Disiplin have released before, but I fear that the average black metal fan will likely decry its differences more than revel in its intimate tortures, as he is won to do. Personally, I found the album enormously compelling, but the sounds are in fact quite harsh and it will require numerous spins of the listener to really delve in deeply enough. At 75 minutes, a work such as this might suffer to some sort of excess, but I really feel the Norwegians offer enough differential with each unnerving trip that it can clutch tightly to your heart like a surgical, mechanical arm. This is like Red Harvest on a massive acid binge. I truly hope this risk will pay off for the band.

From the Ashes Arose a Brilliant Flame!


Disiplin (Norwegian for Discipline), was formed the summer of 2000 a.y.p.s., by Eihwaz WeltenFeind. The music of the band was traditional Black Metal. The lyrics were there to enhance the mood and atmosphere of the music. There was no religious or political message behind the band, though the band, as common in Black Metal, opposed Christianity and other enslaving religions and thought-forms.


In 2002 a.y.p.s., Disiplin released “Vama Marga”! One hundred copies were handed out at that year’s Inferno Festival. The response was overwhelming! “Vama Marga” was later published on the Disiplin website, for people to download. In 2003 a.y.p.s., Disiplin signed with Moonfog Productions. Studio was booked (Akkerhaugen Lydstudio), and the release date was set for late 2003 a.y.p.s.


…and the World of the Unpure was Set on Fire!


The same year (2003 a.y.p.s.) Disiplin performed its first concert, and marking it, released “The DeathRite Sessions”, limited to 31 copies (self released). The War was begun! After recording the self-titled debut album, of songs dating back to the very beginning of Disiplin’s birth, it was released late 2003 a.y.p.s. in Norway, and early 2004 a.y.p.s. worldwide. The album was praised by local press, international music press and fans! Disiplin performed several concerts in Norway, including the Inferno Festival in 2004 a.y.p.s., where Disiplin, first publicly made its presence known!


Summer of 2004 a.y.p.s., Disiplin once again entered Akkerhaugen Lydstudio to record its second opus, “Anti-Life”. Again, 11 tracks of Raw and Intense Black Metal was recorded. The sound was more refined, and the articulation and focus was ever stronger! Early 2005 a.y.p.s., “Anti-Life” was released to the world! Again, Disiplin received the attention of everyone! Outstanding reviews and reactions from the press and fans!


(Note: Although many have commented that the title: “Anti-Life” suggest that the band’s stance towards life is a negative one, “Anti-Life” was used to describe religions etc. that are just that: Anti-Life.)


Molti Nemici – Molto Onore!


In 2009 a.y.p.s. Disiplin signed with FrentEuropa Records. The first release on this label will be: “Molti Nemici – Molto Onore!”, a compilation of seven old tracks (some unreleased), now remixed and remastered, as well as seven brand new tracks.


Hostis Humani Generis


The third full length of Disiplin is to be unleashed in the late days of April 2010 a.y.p.s. Expect nothing more than pure Militant Heathenism! Violent tunes for the Wolf-Age!


Disiplin Proudly Supports the Pagan Front! The Hammer of the Pagan Revolution!
