Synopsis: I'm afraid it is going to be very difficult for another death metal album to top Disma's "Towards The Megalith" this year such is it's omnipotence. For starters, you just need to look at that artwork, which sets the stage perfectly, and then there's the music; dark, foreboding death metal of the highest quality. Disma are relentless and oppressive, no light, only darkness. They take a classic sound and make it their own whilst retaining a sense of familiarity and it is this that makes "Towards The Megalith" thoroughly compelling listening.
