Discordance Axis

Discordance Axis was an American grindcore band noted for extremely intense short-form songs and technical, high-speed drumming. Core members included Jon Chang (vocals), Rob Marton (guitar) and Dave Witte (drums). The band operated without a bass player and released The Inalienable Dreamless among other works.

Review content and public sources note: members Jon Chang, Rob Marton and Dave Witte; no bass in the lineup; Dave Witte also played in Human Remains, Municipal Waste and Burnt by the Sun (mentioned in the review); Jon Chang later worked with Gridlink (mentioned in the review). The review states the band was mainly noticed in Japan and references an onstage incident in which the guitarist received an electric shock leading to them stopping.

The available review by Vilde K. Voland highly praises Discordance Axis for virtuosic musicianship, extreme blast-beat drumming, and Jon Chang's piercing vocals. The review highlights the band's punk-rooted grindcore approach, lack of bass, and the 23½-minute impact of The Inalienable Dreamless. It notes that the band was primarily noticed in Japan and mentions an onstage incident (guitarist shocked) that contributed to their stopping.
