Everything started back in late summer
of 2001 when Antoine (guitar) asked Seb
if he wanted to start a new band, a much
more complex and interesting project
than any of their previous efforts in
the musical scene. Seb accepted
immediately and the writing process
began in order to pinpoint exactly which
direction the new material would take.

A month later, they offered JF (a good
friend) to fill-in on drums... it didnt
take much convincing. At the moment, the
only thing missing was a reliable
bassist and a dedicated vocalist.
Although we were still incomplete in
terms of members, our sound was slowly
taking shape as an aesthetic balance
between insanity and a seemingly dark

We tried different people to solder the
loose knots, but it proved to be more
difficult than expected... it just
seemed most of them lacked the needed
intensity or commitment.

Still, in February 2002, Gabriel
(vocals) joined the band and introduced
Seb Painchaud (bass) to us. We had our
first completed line-up (or so we
thought). Gab came up with the name; Ion
Dissonance and we were like, yeah man, it
sounds pretty much like what were trying
to achieve alright! It has a good ring
to it, its different and kind of
reflects the abstract side of our
music.... Not long after, we created the
first 4 titles in the history of ID.

Rapidly, we put ourselves together and
worked very hard so that we could
finally record something and release it in
order to put ourselves on the map.
Coincidentally, at the time (in
September 2002) we were asked by a
student of Lcole du Show Business (a
Montral-based school specializing in
recordings), to record a 2 songs demo for
one of his school projects. Two months
later, we finally received the already
mixed DAT, and while the sound was
pretty bad, the execution was still quite
satisfying. So we called a friend of
ours, Yannick St-Amant, to see if he
could come up with a clearer sound and
do some kind of mastering. Fortunately,
the result was much better.

We printed about 250 copies of this
recording, named .357, as a demo to use
as promotional material, and we put the
2 songs from the demo on Mp3.com. The
reaction was quite immediate and we
received a lot of good feedback and
interesting proposals.

Upon the dismissal of Seb Painchaud
(ex-bassist) right after the release of
the demo (for some personal problems
which we wont elaborate on here), it
was decided that we would concentrate on
getting our name out there and quickly
found a new permanent bassist. That
person was Miguel (who had previously
played in a jazz band with Antoine)
who joined our ranks in December 2002.

The line-up is now finally solid and
every member is devoted to Ion
Dissonance. We are now ready to show
any audience what we are made of, and
trust me, you wont be disappointed
