SPREAD THE DISEASE - The Darkness. The Dread. The Suffering. LP

Emerging from the frigid heart of Southern Ontario in 1997, Spread The Disease (STD) began as a darker, uncompromising side project from members of New Day Rising. Long before “blackened hardcore” became a recognized genre, the band was already forging that collision—fusing the aggression of hardcore with the cold extremity of black metal and the technical precision of death metal.

Now, decades after their primal beginnings, Spread The Disease returns.

Re-emerging at a point in life where the obligations that once eclipsed creativity have begun to fade, the band has reignited the same uncompromising spirit that defined their earliest recordings. The newly forged lineup, featuring Shane (Bird Of Ill Omen) on vocals, channels that legacy into something darker and more fully realized.

Their new album, The Darkness. The Dread. The Suffering., is the product of two years of grim inspiration: a blistering collection of songs that captures the band’s original ferocity while pushing deeper into blackened experimentation.

Blending the hallmarks of their past—speed, intensity, and viciousness—with a renewed creative drive, this incarnation of Spread The Disease honours its underground roots while forging forward with sharpened purpose.
