Disrupt was an American grindcore/crust punk band from Boston, Massachusetts, United States. They only released one mainstream album (Unrest on Relapse), however the band acquired a cult following on the strength of several underground 7-inch EPs and compilation appearances. Their lyrics are anarchist in nature.
Members of the band have gone on to play in many other bands since the dissolution of Disrupt, including Consume, Grief, State of Fear, Goff, Demonic Death Preachers, Effects Of Alcohol, and Chicken Chest and the Bird Boys
The Disrupt game engine for Watch Dogs was intended to be a game focused on driving, a successor of Driver: San Francisco. The Ubisoft Reflections staff who had previously worked on Driver: San Francisco, collaborated with Ubisoft Montreal on the development of Watch Dogs.
It was based on the former Reflections engine (Driver: San Francisco) and refactored with some components from AnvilNext and Dunia Engine, two Ubisoft game engines used in the Assassin's Creed game series and the Far Cry 2, Far Cry 3 and Far Cry 4 games respectively. Management of an open world city from the AnvilNext engine, and vegetation and AI mechanics from the Dunia Engine have been implemented in Disrupt.
