Artist description Technical, chaotic, brutal, elegant, these terms don't even begin to describe an entity such as the Disciples of Power. Screaming out of a scorched planet in decibels beyond human comprehension is a start, but it is just that, a start! Witnessing the dimensions that have been forged while eagerly awaiting new futures to conquer, the Disciples will always be a band ahead of the pack. Formed by guitar psycho Hart Bachmier, The Disciples of Power was born of Metal, Speed and more Speed. Going through line-up changes, name changes, the Disciples path had been set, and on that path they forged. Bursting in the underground, Disciples released their first onslaught on the masses in the form of the Power of Death demo.

Music Style technical thrash metal
