Already for seven years Dark Disciple have been strolling around in the Death Metal scene and know the Americans from Baltimore offer with “Kill Everything – Worship Nothing” their second album. However, the lyrics are artificially evil, but due to the fact that nobody understands the lyrics while listening to the music, this doesn´t matter much. The music of Dark Disciple is good, rough and brutal Death Metal, which has not need to hide. Songs like “In Gods Hands” or “Eat A Bowl Of Fuck” are the highlights of this record. But extremely disgusting are the diarrhoea-samples in “Kill U, Fuck U, Eat U, Shit U Out”. It does agree with the title of the song, but it avoid every good taste. Despite this and the others, more human, samples this album is quite good, although the US influences are a bit too obvious.
