Dissona is a progressive metal band based out of Chicago. Since becoming active in 2006, they have become known for their diverse, imaginative sound, and powerfully expressive performances. They take a dramatic approach with their music, creating robust, yet intricate compositions with thought-provoking, often abstract lyrical content.

 

​Dissona has released three full-length studio albums to date: a self-titled debut, Dissona, in 2012, Paleopneumatic in 2016, and Receptor in 2025. Their music has been met with much acclaim and an invitation to join Norway's own Leprous on a full North American tour. Prior to that tour, Dissona has performed alongside such artists as Symphony X, Opeth, Dark Tranquility, Fate's Warning, Cynic, Persefone and many others. In 2023, the band released Dreadfully Distinct , a 3-song EP written about characters in the Blade Runner universe. This release included two official music videos and two performance videos.

 

Dissona looks forward to performing for you live in 2026 and beyond.
