Ion Dissonance - Minus The Herd


Today's word of the day, from the Page-A-Day calendar sitting on my desk, is dissonant.

dissonant: adj 1: marked by dissonance : discordant 2: incongruous 3: harmonically unresolved

Ion Dissonance is deathcore/mathcore/technical metal from Montreal. They have often been compared to The Dillinger Escape Plan, Beecher and Meshuggah. They are known for their technical riffs which are played one over another, groove-like drum patterns and a heavy atmosphere. Their lyrics are quite disturbing, dealing with death, murder, more death, and somewhat more acceptable topics such as struggling with faith. Lyrically, I don't stand behind this band's decisions, but hot dang can they riff. Stand-out tracks include The Surge and Shunned Redeemer.

Like businessmen you squeeze every resource to maximize profitability.
Helpless followers in what seems to be a game of hide and seek, but you too will crumble
beneath her wrath
