4 of 4 thought this review was well written
What can be said about an EP that is good yet completely predictable? Not much, unfortunately. Dischordia like to believe that their music is unique. The EP’s description states that, “The band's music-first ethos has been forged through years of stylistic refinement and questing for a sound to call their own.” This ridiculously exaggerative statement is clearly a load of crap. Dischordia’s sound may borrow from an array of popular death metal bands, but they are bringing nothing new to the table. Leaning towards Meshuggah’s style with abnormal time signatures, they are playing a style of death metal that has already been proven to work. Oh sure, they attempt to experiment in ‘Radioactive Iodine 121’ with some progressive tendencies, but the result is a needlessly longer, and more boring song (like a more forgettable version of Nile’s ‘4th Arra of Dagon’). If Creator, Destroyer is anything, it is your typical, solid death metal album, and not much else.
The band members are actually skilled, yet too often their talent is inaudible. That is not to say that that the recording quality of the album is bad, nay! Rather, they too often play it safe, relying on simple, heavy chugging riffs rather than showing their skills. The same can be said for the drums where some insane double bass pedal parts are employed, but rarely. Their music is definitely heavy enough for metalheads, and it isn’t necessarily bad death metal, but more needs to be done here. Dischordia have impressive potential, but it’s going to take more than just potential to create a great album. For now, Dischordia should stick with playing shows, ‘cause I bet they rip it up on stage.

"pizza is contrib now sweet congrats"
and he's def puttin in work, coughin out like 80 revs a week
excellent review bro!! very descriptive, i won't be listening to this as im sick of all these clones wasting my time
i don't really get how all these bands keep emerging with nothing new to bring to the table.
its not like there's a ton of money to made in the death metal genre either, so why do they keep playin it safe. Im not sure how it is for the djent sub-genre or whatever they call it, but im sure these f'n bands are tryin to soak up whatever they can from the djent loving kids
