DISSENT (di-sent’) – (noun) – 1. Difference of opinion or feeling; disagreement. 2. The refusal to conform to the authority or doctrine of an established church; nonconformity. Formed in August 1996, this trio immediately began to forge an identity as an outside-the-boundaries, uncompromising hybrid of metal, deathcore, and progressive influences. Punishing, relentless music, scathing lyrics, and a distinct anti-establishment mindset are the staples of a band whose live sets are a study in barely controlled rage. For all those tired of the same bandwagon-jumping, trend-following sheep in wolf’s clothing, Dissent deliver a sonic assault that refuses to be ignored.
