MOVING : GATLINBURG 1 / BRANSON

They’re not just powerful, they’re also eclectic. The title track starts with a chugging rhythm and a muted, repeated lick before bursting into a powerful riff laden with squealing harmonics, “Regime Change” weaves and surges through angry buzzing guitars and an angular tempo before bursting into a sing-along chorus. And “Someone” charges full-speed into a lightning storm of blazing guitars and longing vocals, pausing only for a radiant refrain before bursting into the next verse. But while Scars Remain is Disciple’s heaviest, most crushing record, it’s also their most dynamic. “After the World” is a rock ballad awash with acoustic guitars and harmonized vocals and “No End at All” is slow and sentimental, flush with pristine musicianship and echoing production.

“We cover the spectrum musically because we love all kinds of music,” Young says. “We consider everything our influences -- Michael Jackson, Prince, Stevie Wonder, Bon Jovi, Metallica -- You name it. We try not to categorize ourselves and we don’t try to cater to any particular style. We just go with what we feel, and sometimes it’s real heavy and sometimes it’s kind of slow.”
