On record, Disengage is a taut, a**-kicking hardcore machine. Live, it's a brutal juggernaut of unrestrained roar, cleaving the air like a locomotive and producing enough turbulence to knock you down. Singer Jason Byers roams the stage like a rabid animal, as the rumbling quartet behind him plays sonic steamroller. For the listener situated in this blast crater of sound and fury, it's nigh impossible to suppress a rising ire, a communion of alienation, anger, and frustration. (Courtesy of Scene Magazine)
