Michael Malyan has released a new drum tab book for DISPERSE's new album, 'Foreword'. The publication contains a complete drum transcription of 'Foreword' and features digital Guitar Pro 7/6/5 audio files, a PDF copy of the book, and much more. The volume is comb-bound on high-quality 100gsm paper. The book is available for purchase at this link: https://tinyurl.com/kuxld92
To celebrate the release of the book, Mike Malyan is currently giving away the tabs to the band's single "Surrender" in digital form at this link: https://tinyurl.com/kqek3rh
Regarding the release of his tab book, the drummer comments: "I am so happy with this tab book. I have gone through and painstakingly mapped out the album drum parts, down to the extreme detail of exactly which cymbals were hit, and every single ghost note. Some parts are hybrids with some programmed drum elements, but the tabs encompass them into a playable hybrid of the two sounds! The digital book is written in Guitar Pro 6, and then optimized individually for the new Guitar Pro 7! I have also included GP5 files for those of you who have the older Guitar Pro 5 software, although I can't guarantee all of the ghost notes will make it through! The physical book is printed on high quality 100gsm paper, and comb bound by hand by yours truly!"
Mike Malyan has previously released a play-through video of the track "Surrender" taken from the band's current full-length 'Foreword'. The multi-cam video is still streaming at the link below.

The stick artist commented: "The song 'Surrender' is one of my favourites to play from 'Foreword'. The challenge of its intricate dynamics in the simpler sections almost trumps the later parts with the complex time signatures. Thankfully there is a mini drum solo section at the end to make up for all of the earlier difficulties."
DISPERSE are currently preparing more shows in support of their highly acclaimed recent full-length 'Foreword', which is out since February 24th. The album is streaming in full on YouTube: https://tinyurl.com/l98a4vc

Few young bands display such extreme technical prowess as DISPERSE. Yet talent and advanced mastery of instruments has never been the main factor in what sets a band apart from the mass of musicians trying to break through.
The road to success has rather been paved with great song-writing and this is exactly what the now Polish and English quartet is delivering on its third full-length 'Foreword'. DISPERSE manage to make complexity appear easy and add an incredible lightness to cascading syncopated breaks, odd-time signatures and all the tools of the trade that are considered as essentials for progressive music.
'Foreword' is the logical step further from sophomore DISPERSE album 'Living Mirrors', which witnessed the hopefuls injecting fresh momentum into the progressive genre. Elements of such giants such as PINK FLOYD, DREAM THEATER, and CYNIC were playfully incorporated, whirled around, and fused with other ingredients raging from Metal to Jazz into a new exciting sound.
DISPERSE embarked on their musical search with the debut album 'Journey Through The Hidden Gardens' (2010) three years after being founded in the Polish city of Przeworsk. With only one demo entitled 'Promo 2008', the band quickly gained a reputation as an excellent live entity. This was cemented by acclaimed performances on several tours as well as at prestigious festivals such as GO-Rock, the UK Tech-Metal Fest, and Germany's Euroblast Festival.
With 'Foreword', DISPERSE invite you to set sails on a luxurious musical passage that let's you drift over an ocean of sparking details and ever new wonders waiting at the beckoning horizon.
