Rude Awakening Records is proud to announce the reissue of DISPHERE debut album, “Abscience”, originally self-released in 2007. Born in Naples in 2006 as a trio led by Pirozzi brothers, early years sound was inspired by acclaimed extreme Metal bands such as Cynic, Meshuggah and Cephalic Carnage, and brought them to compose "Abscience", a promo lasting slightly longer than 30 minutes with eight fierce tracks. The band's sound will evolve across ten years of career diverting from previous influences to incorporate Alternative and Post Metal elements, represented nowadays by their fourth full length, “Mountain.Crushing.Waves.” (2015).
