1998 was to be a year of great change for Disfear, however, as on the one hand they lost vocalist Jeppe Lerjerud, but - on the other - gained a vocalist who had not only the vocal chops to deliver on the sound the band was pummeling audiences with, but also a pedigree relatively unmatched by most in Sweden at the time. The album was their only full length release for Distortion, and in 1997, the band signed with Osmose to release their sophomore album, Everyday Slaughter. While their 1993 EP, A Brutal Sight of War, was critically well-received, it was to be the 1995 full length, Soul Scars that was to bring them fully into the limelight of their genre, touring with groups with such luminaries as GBH, DRI, and Doom. Anti-Bofors released one solitary 7-inch, before taking on the Disfear moniker in time for their 1992 self-titled debut EP. While the Nykoping, Sweden band would go on to weather a few line up changes and periods of relative inactivity, Disfear would build momentum with each release (and, in some cases, with roster additions) to become one of Europe's premier punk metal hybrid band of the 21st century. One of the many bands who took the (often overlooked) sounds of legendary punk/metal hybrid act (also referred to as the godfathers of the D-Beat sound) Discharge to heart, Disfear started out as Anti-Bofors in 1989.
