______________________________________

Recorded in both Israel and the United States, the songs on ‘Disburden Disciple’  express themes of longing and romance (FORBID) as well as metaphorical dismemberment (DEAR 666) , scars (SCARIFICATION), and resuscitation (KISS OF LIFE), the victim of passion, the dangerous love affair (SCORPION), the death bed of a lover (FORGIVE), the death of a loved one from disease set to maniacal piano (UNDER), the false accusation of a murder and the haunting of a spirit who calls from the deep (THE SÉANCE), and the sounds of rolling tanks and drums as backdrop of the war of the heart: “I want to teach you love. I want to touch the pure war inside you“ (PURE WAR).

The album begins with a list of things “free from” – in a stylistic groove that merges to 70’s rock (BOUND) yet the chorus reaffirms not being free at all – from love.”
