Ion Dissonance
Cursed
Rating
Style: Technical Mathcore
Release date: August 23rd 2010
  

Holy shit, these Canadians certainly does not let the grass grow under their feet. In ADHD style they throw their fast and furious extreme mathcore through the boxes, and they do not calm down. Sometimes it is rather fast and chaotic and you certainly have to appreciate the genre to like it.

This, their fourth record, sorry guys I missed the first three, is a bit too much for me. I have to admit I'm not a real fan of this genre and Ion Dissonance is rather extreme. But, after a few spins I discover the structures in the songs and I even get used to the music and start to like it. Vocalist Kevin screams and growls as if it was his last minute on our beloved earth and the two guitar players see to the necessary variation. The bass has a rather dominant role and the double bass drums hammer away on full-speed.

All in all, a good album for this genre. I am a little less enthusiastic, that's why some of you can add 10-15 points to my rating.
