Please welcome Dispraised to the Rottweiler Records pack!!
When one dispraises something it means they disapprove and offer criticism or complete disapproval. Sounds negative, right? Well, if you are on the wrong end of that criticism, it sure is! Yet, if you are upholding an absolute moral standard as laid out in as an authoritative truth text, then the world’s ever moving, constantly changing subjective moral relativism is primed on the chopping block for some seriously cutting critiques. At least that’s how the members of Dispraised see it.
And they really don’t care what you think.
Dispraised was birthed by two friends on opposite sides of the world. Donovan de Necker (South Africa) and Tom Mong (Idaho, United States) first began talks of creating the project back in 2017. As two guys with lengthy backgrounds in the punk rock and live music scene, the two of them agreed that they could make something very different and very special for Christian punk rock fans to enjoy. Enter a true punk rock sound and style created by the two that in and of itself offers a critique against the mundane that passes for “punk rock” and has become only little more than milquetoast elementary school ear fodder.
And they really don’t care what you think.
By August 2020 Dispraised launched and released ‘Same God Modern World.’ By the end of 2020 Dispraised had also finished recording guitar work and vocal tracks for their debut full length “Moral Rot”. Only a short few months later, Dispraised took on Justin Ram (Grave Robber/The Jericho Harlot) as their drummer. Ram held the same convictions and critical ideals that the band had clearly aired, so the work began to replace the programmed drums with an actual live drum performance for Dispraised’s first full length album, “Moral Rot.”
And they really don’t care what you think.
Moral Rot is a project that captures and channels the cutting snark, criticism and outright attitude of some of the most renowned punk rock bands in music history. Dispraised holds nothing back and channels the aggressive anti-PC stance of such legendary punk/hardcore legends as Fear, Black Flag and the Bad Brains. The difference is Dispraised’s lyrics come from a faith filled Christian stance and are firmly rooted in scripture. Donovan’s guitar riffs paired with Toms snarling vocals and thought provoking lyrics make “Moral Rot” a truly one of a kind project, for fans of the spirit and sound of Punk Rock that aims to examine a flawed world.
And they really don’t care what you think. But, they’d love to tell you about One whose opinion they do care about.
