Album Review: Dyssidia - Of Delight & Despair

Spooky organ lines and deafening screams open Dead Smoke as Dyssidia's third EP descends straight into the twisted progressive riffing that has helped them rise to the fore.

Inciting such acts as SikTh, Textures and Between The Buried & Me, Dyssidia have the technical chops and arrangement know-how to take on the world stage. Whether it's the softer, piano driven Dignity or the groove-laden An Absolute Severance, Mitch Brackman's divisive vocal range, Corey Davis' creative and challenging leads, and Liam Weedalls 'AK-47' blast beats are always there to hone in on in this densely layered, four-track EP.
