BLUE FIRE HORIZON’s Album ‘Disease’ Is a Contagious Catastrophe In Christian Metalcore

Let’s talk about diseases, shall we? Not the kind you catch from a coworker who never covers their mouth when they sneeze (although, honestly, that might be preferable), but the kind that spreads through the airwaves, infecting your eardrums with sonic torment. Enter Blue Fire Horizon, the Christian metalcore outfit here to unleash their own unique strain of musical affliction upon the world with their album, “Disease.”

Now, I’m no medical expert, but I’m pretty sure this album isn’t covered by any vaccine. If you thought COVID-19 was bad, just wait until you hear the relentless onslaught of growls, screeches, and guitar riffs that Blue Fire Horizon throws your way. Who needs a vaccine passport when you have earplugs?

They claim to be influenced by bands like Impending Doom, Phinehas, and Breaking Benjamin, but I’d argue that their music is more like a mishmash of different diseases you’d find in a medical textbook. There’s the “Oh-My-God-What-Is-That?” growl, the “Make-It-Stop” screech, and let’s not forget the “Is-This-Even-Music-Anymore?” breakdown.

Now, I’m all for musical diversity, but Blue Fire Horizon takes it to a whole new level. It’s like they couldn’t decide whether they wanted to be a death metal band, a screamo band, or a choir in a church basement. So, they decided to be all three at once. The result? Well, let’s just say it’s about as pleasant as a visit to the dentist.

Their song titles are like chapters from a particularly grim self-help book. “Condemnation,” “Cannibals,” and “Graveyard of Hope”-it’s like they raided a thesaurus to find the most ominous-sounding words they could. I mean, seriously, “Graveyard of Hope”? Is that where optimism goes to die?

But fear not, because Blue Fire Horizon also offers a “Fading Memory.” And I must say, after listening to this album, I wish I could erase it from my mind as well. It’s like a bad dream you can’t shake, haunting your thoughts long after the music has stopped.

Now, I don’t want to imply that Blue Fire Horizon is the sole reason for the decline of Christianity. But if Jesus were to listen to “Disease,” I’m pretty sure he’d be shaking his head in disappointment, wondering what happened to the good old hymns. I mean, those suck too, but I digress. Maybe it’s time for a new commandment: “Thou shalt not subject thy neighbors to terrible music.”

But wait, there’s more! As if the relentless barrage of growls, screeches, and a musical identity crisis wasn’t enough, [Band Name] decided to sprinkle some guest appearances throughout the album. Because, you know, when you’re already on a sinking ship, why not invite more people aboard, right? It’s like watching a horror movie and thinking, “You know what this scene needs? More monsters.”

The guest appearances on “Disease” are like additional symptoms of an already debilitating illness. They don’t provide a cure; they just add to the chaos. It’s as if [Band Name] wanted to make sure every corner of the album was thoroughly infected with their unique brand of musical malady

In conclusion, “Disease” is a relentless onslaught of noise, a cacophony of chaos, and a true test of your musical endurance. So, if you’re looking for a new form of self-inflicted suffering, give it a listen. Otherwise, steer clear and stick to something more uplifting, like a dental appointment or a colonoscopy.
