  Album Review DISCORDANCE AXIS-The Inalienable Dreamless :: Maelstrom :: Issue No 2
Stevil compares the impact of the drumming of this album to the impact Cryptic Slaughter had over 15 years ago, if you were into this stuff back then.
Discordance Axis doesn't quite play grindcore, although the feel of what they do most ressembles that.
The vocals in particular are the element that make one think of noisecore, as the singer's style brings up images of a person who has completely lost all traces of sanity and is in the throes of an uncontrollable, high-pitched, shrieking, frenzied rant, tearing out his hair and frothing at the mouth.

Because they rarely play live, avoid photographs and other forms of image mongering, and layer their releases with cryptic references, the grindcore band Discordance Axis remains a bit of an enigma.
What is known is that they formed in New Jersey in 1991 and feature a lineup of vocalist Jon Chang, guitarist Rob Marton, and drummer Dave Witte, the latter having played with a number of other bands including Atomsmasher, Human Remains, Black Army Jacket, and Burnt by the Sun.
Discordance Axis released their first full-length LP, Ulterior, in 1995 on the Devour label, followed by Jouhou in 1997.

 * Dusted Reviews - Discordance Axis *
This final piece in the complete story of Discordance Axis, Our Last Day includes two impossible-to-find DA tracks, a collection of covers, a 16-minute collage by Merzbow, and as a final link to the future, one track by singer Jon Chang's new band, Gridlink.
For those not in the loop, Discordance Axis were — as they split up following their previous album, Jouhou — an ultra-fast, ultra-snarly grindcore band from the east coast.
The first two tracks are from Discordance Axis themselves, both of course very fast, very heavy, and very brief.

 indieworkshop.com | music: Discordance Axis - Our Last Day
Their music pushed the technical and aesthetic envelope of grind, with influence refracting into manifold areas of underground music and its subcultures, and the trail of recordings they left behind is complex, obscure, and physiologically challenging.
So Discordance Axis is now the most extensively documented grind band of all-time, although this release is less essential than the previous two reissues and The Inalienable Dreamless.
Discordance Axis will continue to inspire many and revile many more, but hey, reciprocity is a bitch.

 Tiny Mix Tapes: Discordance Axis
Four plus years now defunct, Discordance Axis is (finally?) being put to rest by Hydra Head's release of Our Last Day.
Such a strange amalgamation of elements would seem a rather inappropriate tombstone for many bands, but when you are operating in the musical style of grindcore, very little can truly be called inappropriate.

 Melt-Banana
Some people have a chopped off shorter version (1.4 megs) of the Melt-Banana Y-Axis MP3 that they downloaded from NAPSTER (around 1998) and it is mis-labeled as Discordance Axis Remix, instead of Y-Axis - Bill T Miller Remix which is 1.6 megs.
Seems logical to mistake Y-Axis for Discordance, since Melt-Banana and Discordance Axis are friends and have played gigs together and Bill T Miller has recorded both bands....
but Discordance Axis was not involved in the Y-AXIS - BTM REMIX.

 Bagatellen: Black Army Jacket - Closed Casket
If Black Army Jacket are remembered for anything at all, it’s for being one of the dozens of bands drummer Dave Witte has passed through, including Human Remains, Discordance Axis, Melt-Banana, and currently East West Blast Test (his collaboration-by-mail with No Use For A Name’s Chris Dodge) and Municipal Waste.
In addition to pounding the snare like a nail-gun set on full auto, Witte gets to play in a surprisingly groove-like manner for the first 14 tracks of this disc.
Black Army Jacket didn’t reflexively take their grind to the same extremes that Discordance Axis, Circle of Dead Children, or Benumb explored, though they were certainly capable of sending listeners into moshpit spasms.
