  • DISKORD - Degenerations Tie-Dye T-shirt (Pre-orders only!)
    T-Shirt/Apparel

    For the first time we're trying out tie-dye T-shirts. They're manually dyed by a professional and the colours here correspond to the ones on the beautiful abstract album artwork and this style too bears a similar effect which we believe looks great overall. There's a large white coloured band logo printed on top of it in the centre. Only very few of these will be made so we're only considering pre-orders for this type of merch.

    Washing instructions - the colours bleed the first couple of times so it's advisable to wash them separately.

about

Eccentric Norwegian death metal band Diskord have made quite a reputation for themselves over the years for playing some twisted, unhinged death metal that takes the best elements of old school death metal, dissonant death metal, technical death metal, even progressive and jazz music, and then some. Their death metal is wonderfully concocted, full of unpredictable twists and turns, while retaining ample causticity and drive throughout. There's just so much happening at all times, it's both mind-boggling and exhilarating as one attempts to decipher it all over the course of several listens - it's impossible to fully wrap your head around this fascinating beast of an album at one go. Mixed and mastered by Colin Marston of Gorguts fame, the clarity of the myriad instrumentation that includes electric upright bass, theremin, cello among the regular ones is highlighted, with the album once again receiving a gloriously abstract painting by Sindre Foss Skancke. Seven years in the making, 'Degenerations', in addition to being a virtually perfect death metal album, is also one of the most exciting albums to come out in recent times, one that doesn't conform to the standard template of death metal music and strives to create something altogether refreshing and unrestrained. 

For fans of - Demilich, Carcass, Morbus Chron, VoidCeremony, early Cadaver, Atheist, Cynic, Atrocity, Phlebetomized, Cryptic Shift, Defect Designer
