1 min read

Good Fight Music proudly welcomes ION DISSONANCE to its family. From Montreal, Canada, the band was one of the creators and refiners of a sound in the mid-’00s that was equally brutal, technical, and rich with pit-friendly grooves. Along with French Canadian countrymen DESPISED ICON and US bands like THE RED CHORD, ION DISSONANCE mixed dizzying math and earthquaking heaviness into a vibe that served as a gateway for the death-core boom that followed. Between 2003 and 2010, the band released four albums and toured the world. Now in 2016, Ion Dissonance is set to return with its fifth album, Cast the First Stone, to be released November 18th on Good Fight Music. Check out new song “Treading on Thin Ice,” from Cast the First Stone right here!

Ion Dissonance frontman Kevin McCaughey offers this statement:

“First and foremost, we are excited that we inked a new record deal with Good Fight Music. For those who know us well it is certainly no secret that our band has encountered its fair share of obstacles through this 15-year journey, leading us to remain inactive for the better part of the last six years. With that being said, we look forward to a fresh start, and couldn’t ask for a better fit than the relationship established with the Good Fight family. The professionalism, dedication, support and hard work going into this record is so much moe positive than our previous experiences thus far.

On a side note, we are beyond stoked to finally share with our fans the songs we’ve been working on for some time now. For the occasion we reserved some of the hardest hitting grooves you’ve heard from us to date. With Antoine [Lussier, Ion Dissonance guitarist] at the helm of production once again, we made sure to include a little bit of everything on this one. Cast the First Stone is a solid mix of all the essential elements you would expect to hear from us, with some new twists added. This is the next chapter in the Ion Dissonance discography and we are far from finished.”
