Description/Reviews: 

 Their prog-metal style meant that Duende was a good album albeit a little hard to get into as it wasn’t dancefloor/radio friendly whereas The Rabbit Hole is still proggy but features a far more polished product – it’s not a comprise to the band’s sound but the album is much more listenable as the tempo changes aren’t quite as schizophrenic as they previously were.

Description/Reviews: 

Dichotomy or duality appears to be a prominent force that motivates the creative pulse and output for Sweden’s The Great Discord. A necessary entity for any progressive metal act like this quintet to truly sustain interest – because too much technical prowess or full on intricacy will dissuade non-schooled mavens and limit the average listener to push forward long-term. Because of this premise, Duende as a debut album plunges into those shades of dark and light, heaviness and quietness, along with copious attention to modern production and tone aspects to create quite the intriguing release.
