Ion Dissonance prepares new album

Montreal's Ion Dissonance is currently writing a new album, which they hope to record later this year. Here's an update from the group: "We are all sorry for the lack of updates on our part but not to worry, we have all been really busy with work, girlfriends, studios and what not, but we have also been working really hard on new Ion Dissonance material. In fact, it's coming along quite well. Now, like all bands say when they are writing new material you have to trust us. You will not be disappointed with this effort! It's the perfect mix of everything we have done so far... it's nasty, it's fast, it's slow, it's technical, it's catchy but most of all its really heavy. It's also the perfect mix for fans of old school ID who want to be thrown into a whirlwind of dissonant riffage and incomprehensible drum patterns while still incorporating some of the new ID grooves which can be heard on our previous album Minus the Herd. Oh, and everything is done with the 8 string guitars! This spells disaster for the kids who like to get down at our shows. So far we have about 7-8 songs completed and we'll keep at it. Our inspiration is flowing well and everything feels like its finding its place within a vast puzzle of none sense. We plan to hit the studio sometime this fall/winter."

about fcking time...

xBEARFIGHTx 6/11/2009 4:35:23 PM

Oh shiiiiiiiiii-aaaaaaaaaaaaat! Can't wait

Kevl 6/11/2009 4:36:36 PM

breathing...err...this band is irrelevant (now)

breakDATback 6/11/2009 4:42:20 PM

this will suck

lamb_ghost 6/11/2009 4:42:44 PM

I hope it doesn't suck. They should get their old vocalist back.

xenosapien 6/11/2009 4:42:48 PM

Good band but the last album was all one tempo. Hope they mix it up this time.

stooooopid 6/11/2009 4:48:44 PM

Im eager to hear this.

cultureofwaste 6/11/2009 4:50:35 PM

stoked on this, sounds like they're taking every good part of their past records and putting them into this one.

kentucky 6/11/2009 4:56:45 PM

none sense?

anaturaldisaster 6/11/2009 4:59:12 PM

Will listen, could be awesome or mediocre.

HBDad 6/11/2009 5:18:36 PM

fck YES!!!! I hope they use Zeuss on this album as well. I've always wished their first two albums had the recording and mixing quality of their last one. This should be amazing, I hope we don't have to wait for it to be released after the new year!

fromheavensdarkestcorner 6/11/2009 5:21:22 PM

I had no idea these guys were still around. Will be checking this out!

rochesterian 6/11/2009 5:46:05 PM

fcking stoked.

embraceofdarkness 6/11/2009 5:59:32 PM

Great band. can't wait! :)

Sandwiches 6/11/2009 6:31:59 PM

bastardiser 6/11/2009 7:06:53 PM

SeveredInTwo 6/11/2009 7:13:15 PM

fetusgrinder 6/11/2009 7:14:31 PM

it's about fcking time.

loki 6/11/2009 7:34:50 PM

all of you are moshing at the next ion dissonance concert.

dimmu_faggor 6/11/2009 7:55:54 PM

*floor punches to china and back in anticipation*

SunnyvaleTrash 6/11/2009 7:56:08 PM

only their first two albums matter

zukkahmahdeek00 6/11/2009 8:03:29 PM

I'm intrigued. Hope this is more like Solace.

pseudoxme 6/11/2009 8:31:36 PM

lolz @ people who are too cool to listen to anything after solace. Band is always solid as fck. This album will rule.

Penis_Parfait 6/11/2009 8:45:17 PM

I didnt't like last record cause I could understand time signature.

thevenaedge 6/11/2009 10:31:50 PM

no one is "too cool" to listen to anything after solace. they're just disappointed that ID went from playing mind blowing tech metal to nothing but boring generic breakdowns. this album will be a similar letdown, i'm sure

XNobleX 6/11/2009 10:46:29 PM

I liked the first vocalist best. Bring that guy back.

peesoupoopot 6/11/2009 11:05:09 PM

I'm excited.

shit_spasm 6/11/2009 11:12:26 PM

its been so long I thought this band was over, stoked to hear some new stuff

DaveClinch 6/11/2009 11:16:23 PM

fck yes!!!!!!!

lloydbanksgunit 6/11/2009 11:20:50 PM

i like em. last album was solid.

musicsucksnow 6/11/2009 11:28:14 PM

THIS will be the shit.

ion_stasi 6/11/2009 11:37:54 PM

they finally nailed the production on the last album. Hopefully this one sounds just as good. Can't wait to hear it!

unders_core 6/12/2009 12:13:12 AM

no gabe, no care.

xThizzelle_Washingtonx 6/12/2009 12:42:39 AM

I just got a tingle in my dingle

xflipgoatx 6/12/2009 1:30:49 AM

stoked as fck. *head explodes*

youeatdickbeats_7 6/12/2009 1:51:11 AM

6/8 breakdowns and one heavy riff throughout. gab left this band went to shit.

chicken_gang_bang 6/12/2009 2:52:25 AM

breathing is irrelevant is all these guys offer. other than an early split

punch_that_cooter 6/12/2009 1:58:08 PM

should be good

dot357 6/12/2009 2:17:19 PM

seriiously, fck Zeuss! fck him and his overdone productions!

SpawnOfCoachJoe 6/12/2009 3:24:37 PM

probably the best news in metal right now....technicality of solace + production of minus the herd = best album of 2010 although it would be nice if gab and xavier were on this

baker 6/12/2009 5:55:43 PM

I fcking hope to god that they don't ruin this next album. They fcked up Minus the Herd. Breathing is Irrelevant and Solace definately made this band. Brind that sound back.... And Gabe.

RUSerious 6/12/2009 6:31:33 PM

SSSSSSSSTTTTTTTTTTTOOOOOOOKKKKKKKEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

rickitycrickit 6/12/2009 7:45:14 PM

fck everybody. fck everybody real hard. Minus the heard was on point

rickitycrickit 6/12/2009 7:46:43 PM

*herd....fck now i look retarded. ...i am though

DaveClinch 6/12/2009 11:40:43 PM

ya heard me? I agree though, but I would like to see a little dash of solace mixed into the groove of the herd. This will be amazing.

xburnfacex 6/13/2009 1:28:15 PM

I'll check it out.

shots 6/13/2009 10:15:33 PM

Lol at dudes in a super techy death metal band having girlfriends... nevertheless, will check this out

moshyurface 6/13/2009 11:13:49 PM

everything in canada takes longer. but it's almost always quality. can't wait to hear some leaks

anaturaldisaster 6/14/2009 12:16:05 AM

Production on Minus the Herd was great, but it's easily their worst album. I'd like to see them give being a good tech band instead of a weak mosh band a shot again.

ienjoytacos 6/14/2009 2:48:08 AM

hahaha to "I didnt't like last record cause I could understand time signature." i'm pretty excited for this should be interesting

thetowerofrome 6/14/2009 6:59:21 AM

well i'd sure like to hear something of a switch back style to bii, but of course that'll never happen.

Bulsnoklfif 6/14/2009 10:09:45 PM

Minus was a really weak album, and that weak ass generic singer is awful. Liked the first two albums, but not expecting much out of a new one. 8-string guitars is wierd.

grizzlycupcake 6/15/2009 2:00:07 AM

down. amazing band im stoked

dot357 6/15/2009 5:26:25 AM

80% of Minus The Herd songs are irrelevant. Demo, Breathing and Solace in particular is some of the illest music I've ever heard. Bring back the old sound!

baobab 6/15/2009 4:28:28 PM

Interested to hear this, but fck "Minus The Herd".

YouGotScanned 6/15/2009 6:53:05 PM

This band is better than almost everyone.

YouGotScanned 6/15/2009 6:54:04 PM

p.s. i thought Minus The Herd was their crowning achievement thus far. BY FAR. Maybe some of you people need to see those songs live to understand...

xenosapien 6/15/2009 8:20:21 PM

^^^Crowning achievement? Are you serious? You must be in the band. And seeing it live doesn't change it's mediocrity.

shardsofpaper 6/18/2009 2:06:33 AM

p.s. obviously yougotscanned has not heard ID's first two albums, without gabe on vocals who knows what the fck this will sound like, all we have is the last album to judge, please lay off the mosh, more bii

SolaceInNothing 6/18/2009 4:35:28 PM

I feel very sorry for ID that it has an audience of ADHD patients. MTH was a step in the right direction with songs just as technical but with structure. My personal favorite of the 3.

watchthesky 6/18/2009 8:51:43 PM

stoked!!!!!!!!!
