DISCORDIA

Greg Trull (vocals); Saide Lava (guitars); Fee Omen (bass); Jim Schnookal (keyboards); James Lynch (drums)

Awesome and powerful mix of devastating heavy metal and thunderous industrial techno--Discordia was one of the few bands to pull this style off convincingly without coming away sounding like Godflesh, Fear Factory or Ministry. Living Dead is a brilliant and brutal attack of controlled metallic shred and cacophonous industrial noise. The follow-up made the first album look decidedly tame, but almost before it came out Saide had left the band to devote to his Spine of God project full time, taking Fee with him. Hilly from Damaged and Phaedra from Womnal slotted into their places within the band and with this line-up the album was toured and Discordia played at Metal for the Brain, but to no avail. Damaged reformed sometime afterwards and Hilly left to concentrate on that band and Discordia fell by the wayside. Greg is also a member of Dreadnaught and James and Jim were formally with Soulscraper.
