The Dutch melodic metal outfit, Disquiet, represents an international sound, combining Bay Area oriented thrash with Scandinavian death metal elements. Tight rhythmic guitars supported by captivating harmonies, aggressive grooves and melodic guitar solos, create the perfect bed for the intense and diverse vocals of lead singer Sean Maia. His sharp criticism about lust for power and the destructive behavior of mankind echoes throughout the songs and guides you through the raging, hyper-energetic and often emotional landscape that is Disquiet. The music has a distinctive tone and feel, offering plenty of room for musicality and technique in the form of harmonies, grooves, solos and twin solos. The songs demonstrate the band’s versatility, each representing a unique story on it’s own. The band knows exactly how to channel these stories and their energy live on stage with a crushing show that moves the audience intensely.
In 2012 the band released its first full-length album, “Scars of Undying Grief” (Indie). The reactions in the media were highly appreciative, opening the door to larger stages such as Wacken Open Air. Aardschok Magazine: “Disquiet’s debut album is better than many of the established order.” In 2013 they conquered the metal scene in Suriname with a big festival headlining show. Their 2016 album, “The Condemnation” (Soulseller Records) gained favorable reviews and was followed by a UK tour. Rocktribune: “Unique and modern sound; a thrash album hard to beat this year”.
Until 2019, years of national and international performances followed, sharing the stage with acts such as Arch Enemy and Annihilator as well as a successful European tour with old school death metal legends Six Feet Under at the end of 2018.
The latest full-lenght album “Instigate to Annihilate” (Soulseller Records 2022) shows the determination to challenge itself and explore new dimensions like collaborations with vocalists Charlotte Wessels (ex-Delain) and Vicky Psarakis (The Agonist), guitarist Damir Eskic (Destruction) and Koen Romeijn (Heidevolk).
2025 marks the band 25th anniversary, celebrated with the 4-track EP ‘The Infinite Hell’ which sets the next step in Disquiet’s evolution. The EP explores themes of death and (self) destruction, wrapped in a whirlwind of precision-driven thrash and ferocious melodic death metal energy. With tight, crushing rhythms, haunting melodies, and pure unrelenting aggression, this release is set to reinforce Disquiet’s position and drags you into the critical message called Disquiet.
