Just entered the studio! Hey guys, we just entered Trimedia studio this weekend to start recording our new album. We got engineers Mike Marucci and Sam A. Richard working with us on the project. Mike and I  spent like almost 20 hours mapping out click tracks over the weekend and Gibbs is almost finished recording his drum tracks.   The tentative title of the album is Casualties of War and the tentative song titles are:   Casualties of War Solitary Confinement Shadow Demons Les Ténèbres RCMP (Royal Corrupted Motherfuckin’ Pigs) Silent Genocide Mortal Deity Spiritual Suicide   Stay tuned! Luc

I’m going to start this off with a big thanks to all the bars/promoters/friends/fans who attended all of our recent shows in Moncton and surrounding areas. Since the new lineup was formed in October 2009, the shows we’ve played in Moncton, Saint John, Campbelton and Halifax have been amazing, you crowds keep giving us a great response and feeding us the energy we need to supply you in this vicious circle of intensity.

We have our new shirt design “Shadow Demons” for sale, message us through myspace or facebook, contact one of the members or just drop by our merch table at any show to grab yourself one and help support east coast metal by picking up some of our D5R merchandise as well. We’ll be heading into the studio as soon as the summertime draws near to record our second album. On this will be all our newer material, including “Solitary Confinement”, “Shadow Demons”, our 10 minute epic instrumental “Les Tenebres” as well as a few other songs yet to be played live. Along with our CD release we’re hoping to release our upcoming live DVD, filmed at The Paramount Lounge in Moncton.

In support of this upcoming release we’ll be heading on Dischord’s first ever tour, which should run us out a couple of weeks, playing the Maritimes, from Nova Scotia to Ontario. Also any of you on the East Coast be sure to keep and ear and an eye open for Dischord in your city as we have a few upcoming shows around in the near future! If you’re in Moncton be sure to be at The Manhattan on Friday, April 30th, we’ll be sharing the stage with Metal Blade’s latest addition, Aeternam, from Quebec, and from Galy Records, Reanimator, also from Quebec. For you fine Nova Scotian folk, there are rumors going around that Dischord may be plotting our revenge show at Gus’ Pub. If you’re reading this and you don’t know what I’m talking about, you had to have been there to truly understand our legacy of bad luck involving Halifax. We’re hoping this return to your city will be flawless, and we’ll truly deliver you a night of Extreme Metal without any breaking guitars, blowing amps, flying pedals, falling cymbals or any other mishaps. 

Here is a quick review of our last show done by Don Levandier, for anyone interested:

“Last Night was the beginning of MIMEFest and while the organization has been all over the place (guilty) - the bands last night were far from it.  The show was sparsly attended and at times busy - but first up was Dischord - and if you’ve seen them before - you haven’t seen them now.  They’ve got a fresh new line-up and they sound really polished.  I’m not a metal fan - but their performance last night made me see why so many like the genre.  They also looked they were just having a lot of fun playing together.  I was really surprised by how much I enjoyed watching this band and from the looks on the faces of the crowd pouring in from the Metallica tribute next door - I wasn’t the only one.”

That just about covers this update, be sure to come say Hi at any of the shows and come rock the fuck out and have a drink with Dischord!

-Norm

2 shows are coming up with Neuraxis! It will be the initiation of the new members! The first one being in Moncton on Dec. 11th at the Manhattan. And the 2nd one in Halifax on Dec. 12th at Gus’ Pub.

Also we’ll be playing a cover set of Slayer for the New Years Eve show at the Manhattan on Dec. 31. Make sure too check out those shows and let us know what you think of the new lineup and of the new song called Shadow Demons! I don’t think you’ll be dispointed…..

Cheers,

Luc

Sylvain Francoeur has joined Dischord on guitar and Jimmy Hamilton has joined on bass! Band is back to full lineup, gearing up for a string of shows in the maritimes in December. More news on that later. Cheers

Gibbs is our new drummer! YEH

A team player and a solid drummer. Just what the Metal Gods ordered.

Cheers

Hey guys, just to let you know that we are alive and well. We have recruited Mike the Machine as a permanent drummer and Norm Robichaud as lead vocalist.
I have just finished the extended biography of the band on the site yesterday. There’s still some stuff to do on the website but it’s getting there.

We look foward to record a new album this year as well as doing our comeback with Martyr in March.

Cheers,

Luc

Aside from appearing on the Artisanship Ship and War CD compilation launched by our label, who did the teeny mistake of misnaming the song on there Dysfunctional Conformity (which is obviously Treblenka), were gonna appear on an american compilation straight out of Hollywood! From 272 Records comes Killcity vol. 13.

Eric Gibbs will be playing a show with us on New Years Eve at the Manhattan. In keeping tradition with the NYE show, our tribute hommage will be: CARCASS

We are still looking for a permanent drummer, msg us here if interested or shoot an email to Luc@dischord.ca

Cheers,

Luc
