There are several bands known as Disdain: 1) Disdain, from Gothenburg, Sweden, is without doubt one of the most exciting bands you will happen to hear this year. Their music is full of life, with choruses that really wake you up, but which are counterbalanced with deep lyrics, heavy and dark enough to suit even the most evil ones of you out there! Watch out, cause the power of this machinery is about to be let out in a world-resounding roar with their debut album 'Leave this World', due early February 2010 on Scarlet Records.

Their wide range of influences include bands such as Iced Earth, Nocturnal Rites, Metallica, Dark Tranquillity, In Flames and many more, but it's life in general that inspires this kick-ass quintet's music, which often deals with subjects such as escaping difficult situations by fighting your way through them, thinking on your own and being resourceful individuals when hard times come.
The album was recorded, mixed and mastered in cooperation with renowned Studiomega in Varberg, Sweden (Tiamat, Katatonia, Sonic Syndicate, Beseech, Lake Of Tears), and includes very special guest appearances by Swedish guitar wizard Mattias "IA" Eklundh and former Lost Horizon singer Daniel Heiman.
2) A Dutch metalcore band from the late '90s. They started out in January 1997 with members of Maypole, Daisy's Dum Dum, Tribute and Tryptizol 50mg. They played a lot in the Netherlands and Belgium and released several live demo's. In early 1998 they entered the studio and recorded several tracks, which would be used for a split 7" with Swedish band Seasons Change and several compilations, including the 'Fear No Evil' compilation which was released by Last Word Records out of the USA. Over the course of their existence, Disdain has had a bunch of member-changes, which were always guitarists. In mid 2000 the band ended. In 2001 the band got asked to do a reunion, so several reunion-shows were played. In 2005 the band played 2 more reunion-shows.
