I’ve been listening to Evolution of Discord ever since a friend of mine in Long Beach turned me on to them over AIM not too long ago.

To say that I’m impressed is an understatement, as the band classifies itself as death metal on their MySpace, but the truth lies between melodic death metal and thrash  with breakdowns that don’t blow.

Standout tracks on the release include “The Perpetual Misconception” and “The Destructive Cognition of Man” with “Hostis Human Generis” being noteworthy as well. In terms of production, the EP is raw with a live sound on the drums and the guitar solos being rough, but the whole effort is solid as whole.

Hopefully they can get picked up by a label so they can benefit from some much-needed mixing and engineering work to make the percussion more powerful and the solos can be better arranged into the songs, otherwise its awesome as a blueprint for how much potential the band has.  The album is available for free download and streaming below
