From Dissension

100 Proof METAL!

About Me


From Dissension infected the local/regional music scene in June of 2005. The band recorded their first 4 song demo on June 6th; two weeks later they unleashed their first live assault at the first annual Lacypalooza festival. After Lacypalooza, the band never looked back and began to book shows all over the state. From Dissension’s bludgeoning live performance earned them a solid fan base as well as a respected name within the local metal community. With each passing show the band’s sound and live performance became more distinct. Only 9 months after their first show the band was beginning to open up for national acts; such as Rumplestiltskin Grinder and The Autumn Offering. The band was also beginning to play at more prestigious venues, including The Chameleon Club and The Trocadero Theater.
In April of 2006, From Dissension began to dissipate because of musical differences. This would eventually lead to the amicable split of the original lineup. However, Zach Downey(lead guitar) and Dave Koch(vocals) decided to move the band forward by searching for a new rhythm section. Shortly after, the prime candidates were found who would take From Dissension’s sound to the next level. Bryan Asper(rhythm guitar), Marcus Skrinak(bass) and Dan Schafer(drums) breathed new life in to a band that many people thought would not return. This marked a new beginning for From Dissension.
The band promptly took on a stringent practice schedule and began to mold a sound that was significantly heavier and more technical. The show schedule began to increase once again, including an appearance at The Mantis MetalFest(sponsored by Relapse Records) on The Trocadero Main stage. The members also took it upon themselves to be their own local street team and promote local shows to the fullest. They began to organize local metalfests that have drawn hundreds of people and proven to be huge successes. Along with other revered bands such as Ninetail and Scars of Hatred, From Dissension has helped to put Central PA Metal back on the map. The band’s live performance is not one to be missed. From Dissension’s sound only continues to progress and mature. The band’s DIY attitude and relentless determination continue to be the catalyst for consistent shows and quality music. From Dissension has just released a new 4 song EP, so be sure to pick up a copy at a show near you. The songs are brutal, yet melodic and will be sure to gain the respect of true metalheads.
