Album Review

Disciple is seeking to spread their message and music to as many new faces as possible. “We want to play for more people than we have ever played for,” says Young. “We have never been in this thing for money and I hope we never will be, but at the same time we want to reach as many people as we can with our music. We feel that our songs are more than just music – we've seen them have a positive impact on people's lives. As a band, we feel like we have had the opportunity to do more and be a part of more than we ever dreamed. We are thankful for that. But we feel like we have so much more to give. Things have fallen into place for us. We've got the right team around us for the first time in our careers and we think we've made the right music. Again, I feel like we are just getting started.”

I remember reading in HM Magazine that their reviewer said in reference to their last album, "If this isn't the most successful album of Disciple's career, this reviewer will eat a bug." Well, I sure hope that the HM writer likes bugs because we at WMP will eat a dozen bugs if this doesn't become the most successful album of Disciple's career as of now! Let me be the first to say, this latest release from Disciple has brought me back as a diehard fan. As soon as the album kicks in with "Regime Change" you cant help notice the ferocious onslaught and chugging effects of the guitars and intensity behind the first track. The song is a clear showing that the band is back and in full metal focus with great guitar breakouts and drumming that pounds you in the chest. Disciple's last album didn't show or invoke any passion but this album does it enough to make up for it. The title track and my favorite track on the album, "Scars Remain", shows the intensity of this band with a passionate track that has their matured musicianship with their old school flair at the center. This track shows the modern feel of this band with amazing hardcore breakouts that I have not heard from Disciple yet. This album is raw metal and it is great to hear the original focus of this band on tracks like "Game On." "Someone" is an amazing track with a rawness during the verse that holds you into the track. The track shows a brutal intro filled with that same style in and out. The album is complex and diverse with compassionate ballads like "No End At All", even an acoustic influenced track on "After the World", with a the highlight being the true metal focus of Disciple. "After the World" may be one of the most mature songs I have ever heard from Disciple. Scars Remain is bringing Disciple back to what they were meant to do...tear your ear drums apart and rip open your heart!Lyrically was one of my biggest complaints on their last album. I felt the tracks were watered down and lost their intensity and focus. Well, scratch that off because this album brings not only the musicianship of this band back, but it does the same with the lyrical content and focus. This album gets real about people's pasts and embraces the loving grace of Jesus to get things right. All the songs on this album deal with real life and our journey to be closer with our spiritual life. Kevin is on top of the game as always and the passion in these tracks make you believe he means 100% of what he sings about.

This will be Disciple's top selling album to date...no questions asked. This album is full of passion and talent from music to vocals to lyrics. It is raw and emotional and you will believe and feel this album from start to finish.
