The Great Discord

The Great Discord is a female-fronted Swedish progressive metal band whose sound is rooted in influences ranging from technical and alternative metal to hard and prog rock. The quintet is fronted by vocalist Fia Kempe. She and longtime friend, drummer Axel Holmgren (formerly of 12 Gauge Dead and Prowess), sought to cement a musical relationship by forming a band that embodied the sum of their many interests. They recruited guitarists Andre Axcell (who had played in both of Holmgren's bands) and Gustav Almberg (PG.Lost), and drummer Rasmus Carlson (Pegasus).
