UMUR
"Discipline" is the debut full-length studio album by Norwegian black/death metal act Cadaver Inc. The album was released through Earache Records in 2001. While "Discipline" is a debut album, Cadaver Inc are rooted in the death metal act Cadaver, who released two albums in the early 90s. It´s only guitarist Neddo (Anders Odden), who are left from the lineup who recorded Cadaver´s second full-length studio album "...In Pains" from 1992, but he has pulled in a couple of pretty prolific gentlemen, to fill the remaining roles in the band: Apollyon (Ole Jørgen Moe) on vocals (Dødheimsgard, Aura Noir, Infernö, Immortal...), Czral (Carl-Michael Eide) on drums (Dødheimsgard, Aura Noir, Ved Buens Ende, Virus, Infernö...), and L.J. Balvaz (Lasse Johansen) on bass (Disgusting, Braindead, Balvaz...).

So while Cadaver Inc is in some ways a continuation of Cadaver, it´s in other ways a completely different band. Actually I´d say there are more differences than similarities between the two artists. Cadaver started out a murky, brutal, and raw old school Scandinavian death metal act, but on "...In Pains (1992)", they had moved in a more technical/progressive death metal direction. The material on "Discipline" sound very different to that. The 11 tracks on the 38:56 minutes long album are all in a raw, extremely aggressive, and predominantly really fast-paced black/death metal style. Often closer to black metal than death metal, but not 100% black. No matter what label you put on the music, "Discipline" is a really extreme album, filled with blasting drums, sharp aggressive riffs, and hateful raspy vocals, and it´s definitely not an album for the faint-hearted.

Although it´s not a lo-fi sound production, there is a rawness to the sound on the album, which makes it sound like it was recorded in few takes in someone´s dark and gloomy basement (on professional equipment). So the production go hand in hand with the savageness of the material. Cadaver Inc are a really well playing band too (which isn´t surprising given the names involved), and upon conclusion "Discipline" is a high quality black/death metal release in the more furious and intense end of the spectrum. A 3.5 star (70%) rating is deserved.
