Fissure marks a subtle but significant pivot for Spreading The Disease. Written in the long shadow of the pandemic, the release distills the chaos of recent years into a more refined sonic palette — without losing its bite. Lyrically, the band continues to probe the fracture lines of contemporary life: addiction, disillusionment, mental unrest. But the delivery is leaner now — less sprawl, more punch.
This shift owes something to a finally-settled lineup and the influence of a label push through AMG/UNI, allowing the group to focus more intently on craft. It’s a shrewd move. If early STDs shouted from the underground, Fissure growls in control. You can feel the intent behind the structure — verses land with weight, choruses burn with clarity, and the production avoids overstatement. Everything here feels earned, not embellished.

There’s precision at every level — in sound design, in pacing, in thematic threading. The band’s approach to reality isn’t to shout over it, but to sculpt it into something sharper. They don’t ask for sympathy; they offer witness. And in that focus lies Fissure’s fury — restrained, but resolute.
