Description/Reviews: 

“Progressive” might be a slight misnomer in the sense that, when deconstructed, there’s nothing on here that you haven’t heard before, and let’s face it, we live in an age where just about every metal act that eschews linear song structure in favor of multi-layered instrumentation and expansive lyrical narratives ends up with the ‘prog’ tag. At the risk of getting overly pedantic about it, let’s just go ahead and call Disforia a “smart metal” band not entirely dissimilar to the likes of Pharaoh and Into Eternity (insofar as their sound is built upon a foundation of alternating contrasting-yet-complementary elements that run the gamut from power to melodic death metal). It’s not the sine non qua of the subgenre but it’s intricate and engaging enough to get geeks the world over very giddy.
