December 17th, 2014 - Mass GraveYard Sale

Good evening!  The Meista here pairing a favorite local band of mine with a favorite local brew of mine... I give you DiseNgaged's new EP "Mass Grave" and a Yard Sale Winter Lager from Uinta Brewing Company!

• Major themes/lyrical content: Death, destruction, aggression, and sinister intent
• Musical style: Balls-out, in-your-face, very heavy death/thrash metal!
• Sound: Apart from the very beautiful opening intro of "Unearthing", the album is powerfully aggressive and masterfully produced and executed!  My favorite song by the band, "Sleepless" is a wonderfully powerful and richly textured song.  If you are a fan of Lamb Of God, you definitely need to check these bad-asses out!!
