Diskord

Bizarro Norwegian trio Diskord have been plying their unique trade since 1999, recording somewhat sporadically along the way (2021's Degenerations is their first record in 7 years, and only their fifth overall). Their style of unhinged, frenzied, experimental death metal is quite refreshing, their songs frequently seeming to careen out of control, yet within the usually short tracks there are real riffs, unique and intense drumming (a random use of cowbell is unexpected yet quite welcome), and a general sense of unbridled lunacy. Soundalikes are hard to come by, maybe at times early Voivod if that band opted to go full-on bonkers death metal, or perhaps someone like Disharmonic Orchestra, another band intent on forging their own odd path through odd riffing and insane drumwork. A surprise and a relevation to these ears, Diskord isn't for the faint of heart, it can be a bit much, but nonetheless a solid recommendation.
