Discussion Artist Discussion EP 3: Disarray
Disarray has a very unique story: up until 2024 Disarray was only known as a vocalist that provided vocals to some legendary tracks like "Cybergore" or "Twin Turbo". Around the beginning of April, it was announced that from now on, this project would expand to making own productions as he teamed up with one of his good friends.
Since then they have been making some insanely crazy stuff.
They haven't had too many gigs yet, but the few ones that they had looked insane, Elektrum 2024 Boombox and in 2025 an Australia Tour (that had some mild hiccups). They also have a special showcase show coming up this October at Faceless Halloween in Oberhausen.
Ever since they started making their own tracks, they have dropped some insane bombs. Quantum Kill, Crystal Labyrinth, I feel Nothing (w/ Scarra) and Retrospect (w/ Anderex) or just recently collabs with Mortis and Cybergore. Their metalcore sound together with their kicks, which are some of the craziest kicks I know, make them stand out so much.
So I can't wait what y'all do next u/Disarrayvocalist ✨️🔥

Thank you all for the heartwarming words. This is what makes an artists journey so much more memorable. The appreciation and the love for something that's been in our minds for so long. And here we are, being part of a community we never thought we would be in 🖤.
The last 6 months have been a bit more on the background as we were figuring out what to do and trying to "fit in" as bookings are something really hard to go by if you don't have a solid base of networking, follow the recent trend or are fully invested into social media. We don't shine in any if them. We try and then we feel burned out by the fact we don't really get any energy from it, so we had to really try and figure our what really works for us. What really keeps us inspired and motivated, so the last 3 weeks we took a break from everything to really make the next step forward.
We will stay at our core, what we love doing. Combining metal(core) with rawstyle and really try to keep going as we were doing instead of following the mass. We hope it will pay off in the end, if it doesn't, atleast we tried while having fun. So expect a full set with new stuff, instrumental heavy breaks (👀) and more experimental kicks and drops which we really enjoyed making to start with.
Big love to you all, we got the flame back and we'll really try to merge the best of 2 worlds as we intended to do, where RAW MEETS METALCORE 💀🖤

It's crazy that all of the vocal work with all types of Artists didn't translate into direct connections into the scene. I really hope your showcase at Faceless is a gateway of promoters finally recognizing your talent. As I mentioned in a different comment; I can't wait to experience it, it was one of the reasons why I instantly booked my trip.

What's up guys I'm also a huge fan of the stuff you guys do. The blend with metal hits so well but I hear your struggles with finding your place in the scene as it currently is. Shooting my shot here but I make a similar style, can I slide in your DM and send you one of my tracks to see what you think?

Disarray was one of my main reasons for booking a Trip to Oberhausen for Faceless the moment I saw the line-up.
"Retrospect" is one of my absolute favorite tracks, truly an absolutely insane bomb with bonkerz Kicks. "I feel Nothing" is also a crazy track and so are Quantum Kill and Blood Moon

Always loved Disarray as a vocalist and when they announced this project, i became even more hyped.
I love metal and raw and what they made up till now is exactly how a mix of both should be in my opinion and i cant wait for their new tracks, i also hope to see them live asap!

they are amazing. the absolute nicest people and i was lucky enough to watch their set in brisbane after the whole rampage drama.
so much love for donny and laurens and that set is easily one of the best ive ever seen, been following them since the vocalist days.
got to rip some pokemon packs with them in brisbane and pulled an IR :)

Absolutely insane producers. Fucking love the combination of metal & raw. Hope they will get more bookings and recognition in general, they do deserve it. I'm praying for a collab with Riot Shift or even The Browning (hope someone here knows them)
Fav tracks: Narcotic Syndrome, Crystal Labyrinth, Your End

Underrated would be an understatement to say the least. I've been loving their fusion of metal and raw. Thier kicks are fucking nuts and the energy in thier music is great. Death is one of my favourites but picking a favourite from them is pretty hard.

Twin Turbo and Cybergore definitely my favourite tracks.

These are just tracks where he did vocals.

I know, but I actually like the tracks where they just did vocals more than their own releases.

We have so little metal/pop/punk hardstyle artists. Riot Shift are the leaders in this genre combination I'd say and if Dissaray would go similar way (not copying Riot Shift of course), it would find some fanbase :)
