I think we have another contender for "Death Metal Album of the Year" here. Dystopics hasn't garnered the same popularity of say... the new Disfiguring the Goddess, which is strange because it's infinitely better. Stylistically Diskord fall somewhere between Stargazer and later Gorguts, although slightly more melodic and tonal. Dynamics are also here in spades, but are exhibited through tempo rather than volume (which keeps the brutality level high). The songwriting and musicianship are stellar, especially considering this is only their second album. Like the mentioned bands before them, Diskord have opted for a very "dry" and organic production (which fits very well). Although there is a bit too much feedback "hum" for my taste. Part of what took me so long to post this review is that I'm having a really hard time describing the wonderful uniqueness of this record. You're just gonna have to listen to understand.
