NEW DISORDER
New Disorder are a powerful twin guitar Alternative Rock band from Rome, Italy
The Band:
It’s hard to believe that New Disorder was only formed in 2009, (with the current line-up only being together since Spring 2011 when drummer Saf joined the band) but this is mainly due to the fact that the members have played in other significant bands previously, and have a wealth of experience behind them, which has obviously helped form their professionalism as well as their excellent musicianship.
Their musical style:
The musical style of New Disorder comes from a range of influences and has major elements of Rock, Prog, Punk and even Emo-Metal, but maintains a sound which is appreciated by any rock music fan.
The band members are all talented musicians and lead singer Fran’s powerful vocals give the band it’s distinctive, exciting sound.
Influences:
New Disorder have an array of artists they admire including Muse, Avenged sevenfold, 30 seconds To Mars, Bullet For My Valentine, Emarosa, System Of A Down

Album Review – New Disorder – Total Brain Format
I am not sure how many of you have heard of New Disorder, but if this is your first time, then you are in for an ear busting treat. Imagine metal crossed with soul crossed with punk, crossed with Brit pop. Sounds incredulous, don’t believe me? You will have to give it a listen!
The album kicks in with the fast paced ‘(What’s Your Aim?) Call It Insanity’. The haunting and creepy vocals match the system of down-esque guitars and drums perfectly. Following this epic beginning is ‘A Senseless Tragedy (Bloodstreams)’. Big, brash and beautiful. It has a real sense of feeling that so many metal bands are missing these days. I would like to imagine that when New Disorder do this live it gets to the crowd with a passion like when Metallica perform ‘One’ and Maiden ‘Fear of the Dark’.
‘Bitch On My Wall’ has straight up guitars and melodies, with a lead up to chorus that is so good I could listen to it on a loop for hours. ‘Drown’ and ‘Just A Mind Failure’ has an early 90’s grungy feel reminiscent of Alice in Chains and better than Soundgarden
‘Escape part III’ and ‘Judgement Day’ burst into being with raw, energetic and relentless riffs, which are remindful of early Muse. Next up is ‘Lost In London’ which reeks of old style British punk music. Fantastic. This album clearly has so many influences; it doesn’t know which way to turn next.
‘Loves Kills Anyway’ and ‘The Perfect Time’ have powerful lyrical statements which compliment the heavy drums and epic vocals. The latter is, to me, the stand out track on the album. It has a familiar and emotional feeling, yet still rocks with some hard ass lyrics.
New Disorder knows how to rock and with that knows how to do a rock ballad. ‘Nevertheless’starts off real slow but builds up to what is surely going to become a classic. The album comes to a close with ‘Youthopia’. At first I thought it was actually Brian Molko. The track is so verysimilar to teenage angst that I had to play it twice. It is, however, possibly better with New Disorder adding their own distinct edge.

"Escape" - from the "Hollywood Burns" album
"Hollywood Burns" - guitar intro and solo
Review – Hollywood Burns by New Disorder Deafening, delightful yet downright dirty. The debut from New Disorder is at the forefront of emotive metal. The soulful singing and mental music perfectly blends to create ‘Hollywood Burns.’ Vocally the band sound like a cross between Serj Tankien, the metal yet operatic singer from System of a down and Muse’s Matt Bellamy. And on some of the more psychedelic tracks slightly reminiscent of Placebo’s Brian Molko. All in all a deadly cocktail.
‘Hollywood Burns’ has a big feeling too it. The songs yearn to be played loudly and to be heard by everyone. Tracks like ‘Sick Feeling’ ‘Blue skies’ and ‘Another hero to save’ are gutsy, anthemic slices of rock and roll.
Other brilliant finds in this album are the groovy, trippy and delectable ‘Escape’ and ‘Last Breath.’ The latter also having an extra gothic feel too it, with a beautiful Celtic twist.
The stand out track for me on the album is ‘Free me from the dark’. It starts off with soft, harmonious vocals; then kick in the filthy guitars. Awesome. Lyrically the song is exquisite too.
New Disorder obviously love to experiment and are not satisfied with just one basic sound. As well as the aforementioned journeys into psychedelia and all out rock, they have also gone all early 90’s on our asses, with grunge influences in tracks ‘Hollywood burns’ and Break out disorder.’
A welcome treat into the weird and wonderful world of all things meta
