Biography
(1992 – 2003)
The band was founded in 1992. Rather than taking the normal route of releasing Demos, DA instead recorded a multitude of limited edition split albums, though rehearsal tapes and demos were released later on various compilation sets. Some of these have such poor sound quality that they just sound like blasts of noise, whereas later releases like The Inalienable Dreamless have very clear production which revealed the complexity of the guitar riffs.
They split up in 2003 when guitarist Rob Marton developed tinnitus from standing too close to the amp during rehearsals and live shows. They gained somewhat of a cult status post-split, and are renowned as one of the foremost art-grind bands.
The band was notable both for having no bassist and for packaging most of their full-length releases in DVD cases rather than standard CD cases, presumably to accommodate the unusually large booklets (normally with liner notes for each song longer than the lyrics).

Normally I'm a huge fanboy of any grindcore band that uses screaming vocals, but for some reason, I've never liked this band so much.

Discordance Axis is the only grind I can listen to that helps me sleep. Something so soothing about the perfection of it.

Oh, God, it worked. :D This will be revolutionary for the poor unscrobbled 3 second bursts by Napalm Death.

Can't scrobble A Crack In The Cataracts, Attrition, Walls, Empire and a few more tracks 'cause they're too short. :( Poor A Crack In The Cataracts, Attrition, Walls and Empire.

Cheers, I had to settle for getting it off bandcamp in the end. D: Managed to get cds of Jouhou and Our Last day without too much searching though.

@Wisker: It's currently out of print. Hydra Head has indicated they will keep their back catalogue in print so I'm assuming they'll bring it back at some point, but for now secondhand copies are the only way to go.

I clock the signal to noise And take suicide capsules now For me the sky has fallen Is this how Braille sounds?

Any CD stores still sell The Inalienable Dreamless? D: Can't find it anywhere besides expensive second hand copies on ebay...

"A Leaden Stride To Nowhere" is my favorite track from "The Inalienable Dreamless". Heavy and sludgy, love it. Also a longer song by them for once.

DA is too fucking Techgrind. Newsflash, you don't look trve trying to deny it. [4]

Just in case there was any doubt, it sounds amazing on vinyl. Kind of surprised it got to me that quickly, but I guess UPS is faster than regular mail.
