Deathlike Dissonance

In late 2006, Misanthropist and Distorter created the band Atropos. Misanthropist handled all guitars, vocals, and keyboards. Distorter handled the drums. The two self-recorded a demo which was unreleased due to financial difficulties at the time. In 2007, Atropos, were put on hold, until 2008, when Misanthropist and Distorter joined forces again, and changed the name to Deathlike Dissonance. In the spring of 2008, they home-recorded Deathlike Dissonance's debut demo, which was unreleased until now. The demo showcased a more melodic-based black/death metal approach as opposed to Atropos' raw black metal sound. In the fall and winter of 2008, the band picked up two members; Ays (bass) and X (drums). With a complete lineup, the band created and rehearsed 8 songs until going to the studio to record their debut album, called "The First To Die". Seven of these songs were to be recorded. The album was recorded in April and May 2009, but without X, who was voted out of the band due to personal issues. Another member, Pessimist, entered the lineup as the band's new keyboardist and contributed to the full-length recording.
