3 stars Don’t be fooled by dark intro to “Foreseen” – this is not your typical Scandinavian Prog!

DISCORDIA can be described as Eclectic Prog – they fuse hundreds of genres and styles in their music, from reggae to heavy metal. On the other hand, they’d also fit into Crossover Prog or even Prog-Related: their songs are very accessible, short (the longest track is 6 min long! :) ) and devoid of usual Prog pathos and pretentiousness. It was “Mighty Power of Metal” track that have set a revelation on me – DISCORDIA is actually a Parody Prog! Dunno if musicians would agree with this label (ha, find me a musician that would agree with ANY label!), but it’s pretty true. The more I’ve been listening to DISCORDIA the more clear it was. ROXY MUSIC, SPLIT ENZ, PAVLOV’S DOG, even QUEEN, SUPERTRAMP and some Canterbury bands – these are the ones to be compared with Finnish guys’ MOOD, not the MUSIC. But I hope you’ll get the point ;)

In today’s Prog which is possessed with half-an-hour epics and lush pompous orchestrations DISCORDIA is a sanctuary for those who tired of such a frightening seriousness. Recommended, but beware – don’t expect here that much Prog you’ve used to!
