Notable Quotes

❝ Finally, after countless changes in musical genre (first death/grind, then death progressive), it seems that Disharmonic Orchestra have found the musical style most suited to them: avant-garde metal, and it is precisely with this "Pleasure Dome", dated 1994, that they reached what has now been their sound for a good 13 years.

❝ If you are not used to particularly intricate sounds, if you are a passionate lover of melodic music, if linearity must be at least a fundamental component to make a song (in this case an album) enjoyable, this "Not To Be Undimensional Conscious" by Disharmonic Orchestra is not and I emphasize NOT at all for you.
