Discordance Axis - Full Discography

From: U.S.
Year: 1992-2002
Genre: Grindcore, Technical Metal, Experimental

I haven't been the best about posting lately . . . Downright negligent would be an apt description I suppose. Anyway, to make it up to you, here's the full Discordance Axis discography (minus the fucking Hellchild split which I can't seem to track down. Oh well, it's on Original Sound Version.). I believe this is pretty much every song that they have put down on one format or another (I just embedded all of the "official" live vids from youtube, but you can download them using one of the popular flv download sites and then convert them to another format if you want them on your comp.), so enjoy-->>

Jeff Hughell - I Came to Hate EP

From: U.S.
Year: 2009
Genre: Technical Metal, Instrumental, Death Metal

This is the ex-Brain Drill, Reciprocal, etc . . . bassist's solo project and it's pretty badass. It also features Lord Marco on drums.

Machinist - S/T EP

From: U.S.
Year: 2007
Genre: Mathcore, Technical Metal

Pretty crazy mathcore from California I believe. These guys were signed to Debello for a while, but I believe this is the only thing they released.

Meshuggah - Psykisk Testbild

From: Sweden
Year: 1989
Genre: Thrash, Technical Metal, Jazz

I always like to see where cool bands came from musically, and Meshuggah definitely had some interesting beginnings. Fredrik Thordendal (who performed vocals on this as well as guitar) even sounds like an early James Hetfield, which is kind of awesome, so check it out-->>

Gridlink - Amber Gray

From: U.S.
Year: 2008
Genre: Grindcore, Technical Metal, Thrash

Thought I'd post this beast of a tech/grind album. Features ex-Discordance Axis, Hayaino Daisuki vocalist Jon Chang and live Discordance Axis, ex-Human Remains guitarist Steve Procoprio(he doesn't appear on the album) and also Brian Fajardo of Noisear and Kill the Client.

Also, I have some pretty cool stuff I'll be posting soon, I just have to stop being lazy long enough to upload it.

Enfold Darkness - Our Cursed Rapture

From: U.S.
Year: 2009
Genre: Technical Metal, Black Metal

Ok, I'm back from my "vacation" right in time to post some cool technical black metal from Tennessee. Try to imagine "The Black Dahlia Murder" on a "Necrophagist" binge-->>

Tangaroa - One Hand for the Knife, One hand for the Throat

From: U.K.
Year: 2008
Genre: Technical Metal, Progressive, Death Metal

Taking their name from a Polynesian sea-god, Tangaroa are a truly unique hybrid of experimental extreme metal and progressive grind. An abhorrent amalgamation of virtuoso technical abilities and incendiary metal riffs that combine a wealth of styles from black metal, grindcore, hardcore and jazz, and push back the boundaries and concepts of song structures, offering a defiant middle finger response to the current wave of tech-metal pretenders to the throne.

I'm serious, get this-->

Chon - EP

From: U.S.
Year: 2009
Genre: Technical Metal, Progressive, Jazz

All I can say is WOW. I heard about these dudes a while ago on a forum, but they didn't have anything good up so it kind of stopped there. But now they have this 4 song EP and it kicks so much ass. Just looking at their pictures they look to be about 16 at the most. But listening to the music you think them to be 20 years older. The thing that really struck me about was that even though this EP is chocked full of Shawn lane esqe shreddage, it is NEVER pretentious, which is nearly impossible to find among musicians this age. Pure awesomeness, get it!!! -->
