DIVERTED DISORDER – new single out

Diverted Disorder Releases Emotionally Stirring Single ‘Portraits’ – A Song That Speaks To The Soul

South African rock/metal dynamo Diverted Disorder unveils their latest single ‘Portraits’ – a deeply emotional and sonically distinct track that showcases the band’s artistic versatility. Known for their raw intensity and hard-hitting themes, Diverted Disorder takes a bold step with ‘Portraits’, exploring a more haunting and melodic side while offering an unfiltered look at the devastating impact of poor choices and the silent weight of depression.

Unlike their traditionally heavy, riff-driven sound, ‘Portraits’ leans into a deeply evocative atmosphere, blending melancholic melodies with introspective lyricism. Yet Diverted Disorder refuses to be confined to a single musical identity – for them, music is about expression, not expectation. This song is different, but it is still unmistakably Diverted Disorder. Music should be honest, and ‘Portraits’ is as honest as it gets.

To further explain the magic of this single, Raynier Swiegers wrote the below words about it:

Hardy and his band Diverted Disorder are rapidly making a name for themselves, having been active for quite some time. And as the saying goes – hard work pays off. Their latest track ‘Portrait’ clocks in at just over three minutes, yet it effortlessly draws listeners in with its expertly crafted alt-rock sound.

This ballad is beautifully written, mixed, and produced, blending emotive depth with a polished, dynamic energy. While ‘Portrait’ explores the darker aspects of life, it still carries an uplifting undertone, resonating with a sense of hope and determination.

With undeniable talent, solid musicianship, and relentless ambition, Diverted Disorder continue to carve out their place in the scene. Keep an eye on these guys – there’s serious potential here, and they’re just getting started.

A Journey of Growth and Transformation

Since their official formation in 2022, Diverted Disorder has been carving out a unique space in the metal and hard rock landscape. Consisting of Hardman (guitar, vocals), Kheel (guitar), Chris (drums, vocals), and Prometheus (bass, vocals), the band fuses alternative metal and hard rock with elements of thrash and blues, creating a sound that defies easy classification.

Their music carries a powerful message of resilience, introspection, and transformation – themes that remain at the core of ‘Portraits’. While previous releases have tackled topics such as grief (‘Friend’), addiction (‘Ignorance Is Bliss’), and societal struggles (‘Tainted’), this new single focuses on the internal battles we fight within ourselves. Through haunting melodies and gripping storytelling, ‘Portraits’ serves as both a cautionary tale and an invitation to reflection.

Making Meaningful Music

‘Portraits’ follows an imposing discography, including 2024’s ‘Serpent Queen’, an anti-bullying anthem that resonated deeply with listeners, and their debut album, Technical Difficulties (2022), which received international acclaim for its fearless lyrical themes and genre-defying sound. With previous singles charting internationally – Diverted Disorder continues to push the boundaries of what metal can be.

In 2024, the band gained further recognition when ‘Serpent Queen’ was nominated for Metal Without Borders Single of the Year and remained a staple in the African Metal Top 10 for several months. With ‘Portraits’, Diverted Disorder remains committed to creating music that not only challenges conventions but also sparks conversation and connection.
