After a long wait, Montreal blackened thrash band DIZASTRA offers up their first full-length album “Elder Sun”, now available to massacre fans as of November 22, 2019.
Following their 2015 EP ‘Hell’s Gate’, their new album “Elder Sun” summons unholy ferocity by merging the sounds of black, thrash and melodic heavy metal to coagulate a distinct aural assault.
Featuring their lead single ‘Vae Victus’, an anthem to riding a dragon through Hades, this track combines all the elements of what makes heavy metal what it is. Bringing together shrieking vocals, pummeling drums, cosmic-threatening bass, and electrifying (literally) solos. Other tracks such as ‘The Second Coming’ and ‘Dead ov Night’, steer the listener through sonic waters vicious and dark, assaulting you with wicked verses and melodious choruses. ‘Gnosis’ and ‘Piercing The Veil’ inject the album with a dose of mayhem and speed while ‘Astaroth’ closes the full-length by bringing listeners from the most profound depths to the highest peaks of heaven.
Altogether, the alchemy crafted in “Elder Sun” brings a sound both new and familiar to the votaries of thrash and black metal. There is an undeniable shrill-heaviness to this album that gets paired with a thrilling melody to create a thing as awe-inspiring and terrifying as the flames of our solar star. And much like the forbidding beauty of a westering sky, DIZASTRA’s “Elder Sun” is not to be missed.

From darkness, Dizastra rides forth.
First there were two: Matt Conti and Denis Stoisin. Having played the likes of Quebec’s Heavy MTL festival and qualifying as finalists for Wacken Metal Battle Canada, these were veteran performers. Together they mixed melody with ferocity, merging the sounds of Black, Thrash and Melodic Heavy Metal to create Dizastra. Within a year of forming , the band their first EP titled Hell’s Gate in 2015, bringing them recognition as a rising force within the Quebec Heavy Metal scene.
Like tempered steel, Dizastra’s line-up was solidified in the summer of 2017 with the addition of Nathan Afilalo of Dissension on bass and Petey Giampa of Venomenon on drums. The contributions of these new members summoned new speed and malice to the group’s sound. With the band firmly established, they dug their heels in the trenches and began writing material for their first full-length album: “Elder Sun.” And four years after forming, at last, the album is here.
Dizastra released “Vae Victus” as the album’s first single. Bringing together shrieking vocals, pummeling drums, cosmos-threatning bass and electrifying solos, Vae Victus strides in triumph through listeners ears. Accompanied by a Tolkienesque music video of time travel and high adventure, “Vae Victus” is a perfect prelude for what is to come in “Elder Sun.” The following songs, such as “The Second Coming” and “Dead ov Night,” steer the listener through sonic waters vicious and dark, assaulting you with wicked verses and melodious choruses. “Gnosis” and “Piercing the Veil” inject the album with dose of mayhem and speed while Astaroth closes the album by bringing listeners from the profoundest deeps to high peeks of heaven.
Altogether, the alchemy crafted in Elder Sun brings a sound both new and familiar to the votaries of Thrash and Black metal. There is an undeniable shrill-heaviness to the album that gets paired with a thrilling melody to create a thing as awe-inspiring and terrifying as the flames of our solar star. And much like the forbidding beauty of a westering sky, Dizastra’s Elder Sun is not to be missed.
