Discordia was a Melbourne band formed by Sade"Doll Juice, Sickman" and '''Soulscraper''' members Lynch and Schnookal. Their style was industrial death metal and Discordia was one of the few bands to pull this style off convincingly without coming away sounding like '''Godflesh, Fear Factory''' or '''Ministry'''.
Discordia was a Melbourne industrial death metal band formed by Sade, James Lynch and Jim Schnookal. Following the release of the two EPs, Saide Lava and Fee Omen departed for [[Spine of God]]. [[Damaged]] guitarist Hilly and Phaedra Press of '''Womnal''' replaced them for touring and an appearance at [[Metal for the Brain]] but soon afterward Damaged reformed and Hilly left. Discordia split at this point, but in the late 90s all previous members of the band reconvened and recorded a full length album that was eventually released in 2022.
 
The "Living Dead" EP was a brutal attack of controlled metallic bombast 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 Omen with him.  
 
Hilly from [[Damaged]] and Phaedra Press 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 shortly afterwards and Hilly left to concentrate on that band and Discordia fell by the wayside.
 
Discordia reunited with Sade, and an unreleased album was created featuring contributions by all members. Jim, James, Gregg and Sade have toyed with the idea of reforming for a few shows.
