The Profile

Austrian metal band formed in 1987, noted for evolving from death/grind and techno-death into an avant-garde/technical death metal style that incorporates complex rhythms and electronics.

Reviews note the band's stylistic transitions (death/grind → techno death → avant-garde metal), the use of electronics, intricate rhythms, and recurring criticisms of rough mixing and occasional chaotic arrangements.

Two DeBaser reviews (Pleasuredome and Not To Be Undimensional Conscious) track Disharmonic Orchestra's shift from death/grind and techno-death toward avant-garde metal. Reviewers praise complex rhythms, electronics and compositional growth, while criticizing muddy mixing and occasional chaotic excess. Pleasuredome is seen as a solid, identity-establishing album; Not To Be Undimensional Conscious is technically interesting but uneven.

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.
