NEWS: Disorientation make a pact…

It’s been a minute since their 2023 EP “Survival Mode” drew critical acclaim but with good reason as Montreal Dark Experimental Metal band Disorientation have been evolving. After two records with which Marie‑Claude Fleury and Daniel Daris, have carved their name into the tree of pain with their unsettling blend of harsh vocals, dissonant woodwind arrangements and structures that defy conventional metal boundaries, the pair have now been joined by guitarist Samuel Arseneau‑Roy (Spectral Wound, Basalte) and drummer Laurent Bellemare (Chthe’ilist, Basalte, Sutrah). Together they’ve forged a standalone single titled “The Pact“, an exploration of the rapid formation of intense connections and the darker undercurrents that can accompany them.

Vocalist and oboist Marie‑Claude Fleury comments: “We decided to limit ourselves to a single track so we could bring our two new members into the band quickly. We had to take some extra steps to bring the music to life, but it was worth it. This is our best‑sounding effort to date. It’s about those people you meet and get close to very quickly. As the attachment forms, a dark side appears. Is the bond as positive as it first seemed? And where can it lead? Which way do you go? This is the moment where choices must be made. Having a real drum and an extra guitar player definitely improved our sound. We now sound fuller and thicker. We’re looking forward to creating more music together”
