Brooklyn, NY’s post rock metal band DISPARAGER has unleashed a new lyric video via Blank TV for their track ‘RIP Bill Hicks’ off their recently released debut EP ‘Timeless, Ageless’ produced by Jay Maas (Defeater, Bane, H2O, American Nightmare, Polar Bear Club) at the following link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mVGAWd57KFs
In additional news, DISPARAGER will be opening support for hardcore aggressors Sworn Enemy on July 12th in NYC at Blackthorn 51 alongside Thorn Constellatin, Fate Breaks Dawn, Mala Entrana, Apparition, Halo To Havoc and Risers (full show details below).
DISPARAGER will be performing the following show dates in support of their debut EP ‘Timeless, Ageless’.
Show Dates:
July 12 @ Blackthorn 51 – Elmhurst, NY w/ Sworn Enemy, Thorn Constellation, Fate Breaks Dawn, Mala Entrana, Apparition, Halo To Havoc, Risers
Formed just last year, DISPARAGER has always had the crazy notion that music is art and that art is never a means to an end but an end in itself. As an extension of frontman Chris AhKao regaining his life from personal demons, this debut EP is a testament to that. Bursting with dense rawness and precision while pushing the boundaries of metal with tracks like “At Least I Still Have Bon Iver” – half folk song, half crushing mix of Isis and Slayer – and “Pictures” – a time signature mindfuck the band is proud NOT to call prog rock. The music is meant to showcase a refusal to settle, to compromise, to live any other life than that inspired by unwavering intent, self-expression and integrity.

“Without the influence of hardcore bands like E.Town Concrete and Biohazard, there would arguably be no Disparager, at least not in the formation that exists today. Sworn Enemy was part of a really special wave of hardcore for me, and they’re such a killer band live. Looking forward to sharing the stage with them.” comments vocalist / guitarist Chris AhKao.
In additional news, DISPARAGER has teamed up with Blank TV for the premiere of their new acoustic video ‘Gratitude’, the third track off their recently released debut EP ‘Timeless, Ageless’ produced by Jay Maas (Defeater, Bane, H2O, American Nightmare, Polar Bear Club).

Brooklyn, NY’s post rock metal band DISPARAGER has teamed up with Blank TV for the premiere of their new acoustic video ‘Gratitude’, the third track off their recently released debut EP ‘Timeless. Ageless’ produced by Jay Maas (Defeater, Bane, H2O, American Nightmare, Polar Bear Club).
“A handful of Disparager songs stemmed from me playing acoustic guitar and grew from there, and acoustic playing is extremely intimate. It’s just you, and a block of wood, no distortion or drums or density of metal orchestration, and the end result is that uniquely human element that you bring to the table. Plus, I love screaming over acoustic guitar, it always gets heads to turn and there’s this stupid yet special “shock value” factor to its naked abrasiveness. ” comments vocalist / guitarist Chris Ahkao.

“Disparager are from Brooklyn, New York and play metal or hardcore, or post-rock, or whatever you want to call it. Above all else though, Disparager are fucking badass. ” – Pure Grain Audio
“Passion and sincerity are what matters most in music, and Disparager have an overabundance of those. Opening with “Pictures,” the band show themselves as technically adroit but never at the expense of the actual song. “Tuesday Love” is raw in its emotion; this is an antidote to the fake music that clogs up the airwaves like fat in an old man’s arteries. “Gratitude” reminds me of Cave In with its juxtaposition of darkness and light. My favourite track on the EP is the heartfelt “R.I.P Bill Hicks” (Bill Hicks was a genius and the world is a poorer place for his passing— look up some of his work for proof). Finishing with the epic “At Least I Still Have Bob Iver,” Disparager show themselves as a band with passion, a strong identity, and a reason to be. Not many bands can say that.” – Hellbound

Brooklyn, New York’s DISPARAGER has always had the crazy notion that music is art and that art is never a means to an end but an end in itself.
Formed just last year, the band is an extension of frontman Chris AhKao regaining his life from personal demons and the guys’ debut EP, Timeless, Ageless, is a testament to that.
Recorded with producer Jay Maas (Defeater, Bane, H2O, American Nightmare, Polar Bear Club), Timeless, Ageless is bursting with dense rawness and precision while pushing the boundaries of metal with tracks like “At Least I Still Have Bon Iver” – half folk song, half crushing mix of Isis and Slayer – and “Pictures” – a time signature mindfuck the band is proud NOT to call prog rock.
As AhKao explains, the band’s music is meant to showcase a “refusal to settle, to compromise, to live any other life than that inspired by unwavering intent, self-expression and integrity.” Because, at the end of the day, that’s what DISPARAGER is all about.
