With dozens of past shows and six years of experience, Dissonant is a well organized band which compromises on nothing. Dissonant's debut album, Consolidated Reality Fragments - (1000 copies limited edition), which was entirely self-recorded, produced and mixed, shows Dissonant's ability to create an international-standard release without any outside support.
Dissonant started out as a fun/instrumental band which came to realize its writing and composing potential. Over the years, Dissonant has been focusing on writing and performing while molding into its current structure. Dissonant's album consists of six songs which are marking stones in their musical evolution.
Today Dissonant is on a quest for an international recognition by searching a label that will take Dissonant's music to a new level.

In The Name Of God
Dissonant Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Bloodshed and murder in the name of our lord
Engaged with power, weapons silence words
It's not the truth we follow, it's sacrilege in shape of swords
It's our misconception
Of words that preach for tolerance and compassion
Evil is our sickness and sickness is our cure
Honesty forsaken for the sake of lies
In the name of god, our redemption is our demise
Justice confused with malice truth dazed by deceit
Books of narrow minded fools tell us what to breathe or eat
Freedom is deception created by their word
We chain ourselves in sorrow as we follow the herd
Oh, it's our misconception
Of words that preach for tolerance and compassion
We name our murders conquests
We name our victims foe
In the name of god
We'll rip the roots we've sow
Comprehension not upon us, manipulating truth
Distorted words of wisdom corrupting our youth
Ignorance we've nourished, fed our souls with pain
All we know is blurred reflections of what was once considered sane
Oh, it's our misconception
Of words that preach for tolerance and compassion
Think before you act
You are summoned by man and follow commands of words not true
Look in your heart. You die for their god but god's in you
The song "In The Name Of God" by Dissonant is a commentary on the violent and destructive actions that have been committed in the name of religion. The lyrics speak of the misguided attempts to rule the world in the name of God, and the bloodshed that has resulted from this quest for power. The song questions the hypocrisy of those who claim to follow divine teachings of tolerance and compassion, but instead engage in violent acts of sacrilege.
The lyrics also highlight the corruption of religious beliefs and practices by those in power, causing honest values to be forsaken for lies. The distortion of wisdom and manipulation of truth has led to the confusion of justice and malice. The idea of freedom is just a deception created by those in power to manipulate and control the masses. The song speaks of the ignorance that has been nurtured, leading to a distorted view of reality that creates a cycle of pain and suffering.
Dissonant is calling for accountability and urging listeners to think for themselves before blindly following any leader or doctrine. The message is that true spirituality is within oneself, and that one should not sacrifice their life for a God that is already present in them. "In The Name Of God" is a commentary on the state of humanity and the need for introspection and self-reflection to break free from the cycle of violence and destruction.
