As someone who only has fleeting enjoyment for Breathing Is Irrelevant, Cast
the First Stone finds Ion Dissonance continuing where they left off from
Cursed, while also tightening up their songwriting. Apart from the short
instrumental "Untitled II," this record is an unrelenting mix of angular riffs,
stuttering drums, and violent, misanthropic screams. "To Lift the Dead Hand of the Past"
might just be the best song these guys have ever written.

Might bump this to a 4 after a few more listens but this album FUCKING destroys. What a great year for metalcore, plus a new Zao album in a few weeks? Fuck.

A destructively-strong closer for one of the best years metalcore has had in recent memory. Ill Will still leaves me dizzy.

70-80% of this album is fantastic; The rest is still pretty good. What the FUCK is up with the EQ, though? I had to turn the mid down and treble and bass way up to actually enjoy this in my car (using Spotify).

Ion Dissonance? What a fucking terrible name. I couldn't come up with a cornier name if I tried.
