DEBUT ALBUM POSTPONED!
Sep. 06 2010

Hello everyone!

Again we have to present you with bad news. We have been forced to postpone our debut album to November 2010. This has to do with the fact that we've decided to terminate our engagement with J.B. van de Wal due to lack of communication, commitment and failing to meet deadlines. The initial recordings were finished in March 2010, but we still haven't received the master copy of our album. Therefore we've decided to enlist a different producer; ReVamp guitar player Jord Otto has taken up the challenge. Due to this we've had to re-record the drums. And although that's already been done, it still delayed the process in the long run.

This situation as given us the chance to edit and improve some parts of the album. Together with Methilde Bouma (Sincerus) we've been working on new keyboard arrangements and producer Jord Otto will record a new solo for the song "The Art of Clairvoyance".

So once more we ask for your patience and consideration.

However, every dark cloud has a silver lining! Disintegrate has been confirmed as the regional headliner for the metal stage on this year's Freeze Festival. The Festival will be held on the 25th of September at De Harmonie in Leeuwarden. We'll be sharing the stage with Pestilence, Sincerus, Posthuman and Noir and others. We also have two headlining shows in Dokkum and Harlingen.

And Disintegrate still has a chance to play on Headbanging Enschede together with Sodom, Master and others. But we need your help! Please go to http://www.headbangingenschede.nl/nl/bandwedstrijd/ and vote for Disintegrate! Thanks in advance!

See you soon!

STATEMENT:
Jul. 08 2010

Dear fans,

For some time we've been telling you that our debut CD "Parasites of a Shifting Future" will be released soon. A lot of you have actually ordered the CD, for which we are extremely grateful. Unfortunately, due to the difficulty of the process and the side projects of our producer (e.g. tours with Aborted and Leaves Eyes), the project is suffering from delays.

On a brighter note, the CD is nearing completion and everything sounds very promising. As for a new release date, we hope to release the album the 28th of August 2010.

We would to thank you for your support and patience!

In the meantime you can watch the two final studio reports below.

Kind regards,

Danny, Jos, Leo, Sander & Joran






INTO THE GRAVE PROTEST(DUTCH)
May. 19 2010

Omdat de gemeente Leeuwarden bang is voor mensen in zwarte kledij en lang haar, heeft het besloten het Into the Grave festival niet te laten doorgaan. Om aan te tonen dat wij metalheads helemaal niet zo eng zijn, wordt er op Pinkstermaandag om 14:00 een metalpicknick georganiseerd. Wij zullen daar een exclusief akoestisch optreden geven en dat doen we niet alleen! Net als afgelopen zaterdag is Claudia(Lyonite) er ook bij.

Ook hebben we jullie massale hulp nodig. Kom met je broodtrommeltje naar het Oldehoofsterkerkhof en dan maken we er een gezellige middag van!

LOOKING BOTH BACK AND FORWARD
Dec. 24 2009

Hi everyone,

Another year is running to a close and it's time to reminisce. We can look back on very turbulent year for Disintegrate.

2009 kicked off with the departure of Rob from the band. Enough words were spent on this, and it still is one of the all-time lows in the band's history. Fortunately 2009 brought us a lot of highlights.

We released our first cd "Destructive Capacity", which received some incredible reviews. We also got the opportunity to replace Austrian band "The Sorrow" as an official support for Brazilian thrash-legends Sepultura.

Sander Stegeman joined the band on a permanent basis, completing our line-up and strengthening it even more. With Sander in our ranks, we made it into the finals of the "Kleine Prijs van Friesland", being the only metal band to ever make it that far. The first half of 2009 was finished by a performance on the legendary "Wâldrock" festival. It had always been a dream of us to play there and to see it come true is perhaps the greatest highlight of this year.

After the summer we continued with lots of performances, with the Freeze Festival and some headlining shows as other highlights. We also released our first official video, which can still be viewed here.

To bring the (already) awesome year to an even better close, we were nominated for the "Frisian Talent Award", being the only nominated metal band. We did not win the award though, but being nominated felt as a victory to us.

But enough looking back. Let's look forward to 2010.

In 2010 we will release our debut-album! It will contain 11 songs, including some songs we haven't played live yet. Details like a title, track listing and artwork cannot yet be given, but we will get back to you in 2010. Be prepared for some awesome surprises.

And last but not least: we want to wish you all a merry Christmas and all the best in 2010. We hope to see you all soon!

Cheerz!

Danny, Jos, Leo, Sander & Joran

BACK FROM THE HOLIDAYS AND READY TO THRASH
Aug. 22 2009

Hi all.It's been a while since we've updated the site. Let us just tell you what's going on in our world!

Upcoming Performances
We have some peformances coming up in September. We will finally make our appearances on the Freeze festival this year. We will hit the stage at midnight. We will also perform at the Gekletter Festival in Buitenpost. Our performance will start at 23:00. Check out our livesection for all the dates dates.

Wâldrock
It's been over two months since our last performance, at the Wâldrock Festival. We had the best time ever rocking the main stage. We were pleased to see so many of you showing up and giving us a very great response. Thanks! You can read some reviews on our myspace.

Video for Mediacrity
In June we shot our very first video for the song Mediacrity. Currently it's in the last stages of completion and it will probebly be out early september. Keep your eyes open for it. It will be awesome!

New Album
We are currently hard at work on our first full-length cd. At this moment we are in writing mode, composing some kickass melodic death/thrash metalsongs. At our performances in September we will play some new stuff, so be there. We hope to start the pre-production within a few months, after which we hope to enter the studio in late 2009.
