ÜBER DIESE EPISODE
On this episode of Discography Discussion, Joe and Lucas will tackle the dense, and brutal discography of Ion Dissonance, a Quebec-based band that has been pushing the limits of mathcore and technical metal since 2003. Our hosts explore the band's evolution from the raw production of their early work to the more polished, eight-string-driven aggression found later in their career. This band will walk the fine line between musical anarchy and total chaos while Joe and Lucas question whether high-level technicality and "musculature understanding" of an instrument necessarily result in a "good" song.
The episode also features a deep dive into the history of the tritone, where the hosts debunk popular myths about the "Devil’s Tritone," and its supposed ban by the Catholic Church. While Joe and Lucas find common ground in admiring the band's dogged tenacity and singular vision, they remain sharply divided on the merits of specific releases—particularly 2007’s Minus the Herd. Tune in to find out which host found the experience to be a "slog," which one ended up finding "more and more to like," and why they ultimately conclude that this band might be "free jazz" for the metal world. #discussmetal
