NEWS: Dissona confirm there is still life in Blade Runner…

Set for a 10th November drop via Earache Distribution, a Blade Runner based concept EP titled “Dreadfully Distinct” is on the way from Chicago Progressive Metal collective Dissona. Known for their diverse, imaginative sound and dramatic approach to music that often finds them creating robust yet intricate compositions with thought-provoking, often abstract lyrical content, this latest work takes a look at the three Blade Runner characters while painting them in a new light.

The first single “The Prodigal Son” focuses on the inception and development of Roy Batty, the so-called antagonist from the original Blade Runner film. The band explains further: “The track tensely opens with a newscast highlighting the release of the Nexus 6, Eldon Tyrell’s newest and most advanced replicant series to date. The band enters with an exciting instrumental section as Roy’s journey unfolds. As the song progresses, we experience an astonishing and awe-inspiring instrumental section that paints the delicate “C beams” Roy pleasantly describes witnessing. The situation turns, however, as new energies enter his mind. A four-year lifespan is simply not enough for him and he takes violent steps to return to Earth and confront his maker.”
