Ion Dissonance is a mathcore band from Montreal, Quebec, Canada, that was formerly known for their fast-paced and extremely aggressive style but changed to a more heavy, groove based style with the release of their 2007 album Minus The Herd.

Antoine Lussier and Sebastien Chaput formed Ion Dissonance during the late summer of 2001 with the intention of creating metal that was more complex and daring than what they have done before. JF Richard would join shortly after on drums. With these members, their sound started to take shape, but they still required a few more individuals to fill some parts. To that end they recruited Gabriel McCaughry (vocals) and Sebastien Painchaud (bass guitar). Upon completing their first official line-up, the band released a demo CD named .357, which was quickly put together in 2002 for promotional purposes to various zines, labels and individuals around North America. This demo is now out of print but was released on mp3.com. Within no time, they received positive reviews and reactions. In this short time, they had to pick an appropriate label to support them and soon release their first LP. They decided to stay with Willowtip Records (Cacophonous Records in Europe). The line-up was changed when Sebastien Painchaud was replaced by their second bassist, Miguel Valade. With this change, they started playing their first major shows as the opening act for such bands as The Dillinger Escape Plan, Every Time I Die, Daughters, Misery Index, The End, and The Black Dahlia Murder.

The riffs are not nearly as original and it's way to repetitive with its common song structures. Solace and BII are better in every possible way. Nonetheless, I'm actually extremely stoked for their next release.

i try to get into "minus the heard" over and over again, but compared to "solace" it just seems to have a serious lack of good ideas. to many fillers. i'm sure the new stuff they write will be better though, i just feel it. ;)
