Archive material and source history
Discordance Axis formed in New Jersey in 1995 with guitarist Rob Marton, vocalist Jon Chang, bassist Dave Witte, and drummer Dave Verellen. Their approach to grindcore was unconventional from the start, favoring intricate polyrhythms and dissonant harmonies over more straightforward aggression. This put them at odds with some purists in the underground scene, but they kept working on their material anyway.
They released albums like 'The Inalienable Dreamless' in 1995, 'Jouhou' in 1997, and 'The Intimacy of the Deviate' in 2000. Their sound incorporated unusual elements at times, including sitar and gamelan textures. A track like 'A Broken Tomorrow' gives a sense of their approach, with its dense layers of guitar and shifting rhythms.
Their live shows were known for being intense and chaotic. The band stopped working together after 2000, but those few records left a distinct mark on experimental heavy music.
