Absolutely sick! Lasting only one minute, “Noodles” clarify at least this aspect. Xenotropic murine leukemia virus (XMRV) – is a gammaretrovirus that was first described in 2006. Initial reports linked the virus to prostate cancer, and later to chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), but these were followed by a large number of studies in which no association was found. It has not been established that XMRV can infect humans, nor has it been demonstrated that XMRV is associated with or causes human disease. Numerous researchers have suggested that XMRV detection may result from contamination of clinical specimens and laboratory reagents with mouse retroviruses or related nucleic acids. I told you it’s sick!
A clash of nationalities, cultures, quite different tastes and musical influences and backgrounds, XMRV blending through their own creative filter hardcore, thrash metal, grunge, noise, punk, jazz, Latin music and delivering a killer sonic cocktail which will definitively knock you down. Are you ready for a punch directly in your immune system?
Administrated in 14 deadly doses, “Disimmunized” push further the boundaries of the hardcore rooted post-metal adding new tasty aromas and contorted dimensions to it. Mixing aggression and rawness with melancholy, syphilitic punk and hardcore brutality with gloomy melodies, dissonances and noises, cutting edge riffs with harmonies and unexpected aromas.
Coming from different European countries – including Scotland, Norway and Slovakia – and carrying different social and musical backgrounds, Ruth Laila – vocals, Hamish Black – guitar/vocals, Shisho – bass, and Miro Cuba – drums find their own color, flavor and taste. Sick and beautiful.

The band was formed in March 2008 by Hamish and Miro who’d played together a couple of times before. Tom joined on bass a couple of months later, then Ruth completed the line-up in May of that year.
They worked almost three years on the material of their debut album, but meanwhile, in 2009 they also released a demo called “500mg”.
Only $9, can buy “Disimmunized” directly from the band’s Bandcamp page. It’s worth every cent. And fuckers, as any artists, they deserve to being paid.
Recommended for open-minded listeners, fans of Rolo Tomassi and other like experimental avant-garde (metal) outfits.
