Band information

Dyscord is a death metal band from Perth. The band formed in 2003 and before long began racking up some serious supports to bands like Alchemist and The Mark of Cain and then a string of international acts including Mudvayne, The Haunted, Static X and Ill Nino. Originally playing a pretty generic metalcore style, they have since changed to a modern melodic death metal sound.

In 2006, Dyscord released a six-track EP and toured nationally with The Black Dahlia Murder. In March 2007 the band toured with God Forbid and featured at the Overcranked Festival in Brisbane. After Chuah and Blythman were replaced, the band began work on a full length album that was released in March 2008 after playing at the Big Day Out in Perth. The band toured widely during 2008, touring the east coast with bands like Daysend and opened for Carcass in Perth in October. In January 2009 Dyscord toured with Whitechapel and also played with Killswitch Engage and Unearth through the year. Recording began on their second album after this with Tirades being released on February 19, 2010. Following this release, Dyscord again toured with Daysend and appeared later in the year at the first Bastardfest. The band split up not long afterward.
