By far one of the most over-powering, precise and immensely talented bands within the ever-growing metallic hardcore scene, the Montreal-based quintet Ion Dissonance are getting ready to record their 3rd album and follow-up to the Abacus Release “Solace” that left reviewers raving in 2005. Ion Dissonance’s new album is going to be entitled “Minus The Herd” and will be recorded with Zeuss. Singer Kevin McCaughey says of the album: “This is by far some of the best stuff we have ever written. There are some changes in direction with this new release, but I definitely think the die hard Ion followers will still be into the new stuff. I guess the only word to describe this new album would have to be brutal. Just straight and plain heaviness.”
Ion Dissonance will be hitting the road in the United States with Arsis and Beneath The Massacre with a stop at the California Metal Fest. They will also be touring Europe with Dead To Fall and Through The Eyes Of The Dead in May. “ As for the upcoming tour dates I have to say that I, myself and the rest of the band are really looking forward to heading out with our good friends in Beneath the Massacre for their first strand of US shows. I have never been out to the west coast and I am really excited about it. We have also just confirmed our first ever European tour with our good friends in Dead to Fall and Through The Eyes Of The Dead. We are all really excited about this, and I can’t wait to hit the road with these new songs once the recording process is finished.”
