Brigade make their long awaited return for 4th LP, "Dissonance"
Like a shot of adrenaline right into the senses, Brigade’s 4th full length album Dissonance is full of endless rhythms and infinite passion. We loved it! Read on for an in-depth look into the record, in addition to a background on the band.
11 long years later and Brigade have finally made their return with another massive album release, Dissonance. We can say with confidence right now that the wait was well worth it, and even with their EP being released as recent as 2018, they’ve still managed to revolutionize their distinct sound. If their music is somehow just making its way into your life now, Dissonance is a fantastic starting point, but we do urge everyone to start way back in the beginning too.
At 10 total tracks, spanning right around the 40 minute mark, Brigade waste not even a single second cranking the energy levels way up and getting everyone involved. It’s almost as though there was a pent up feeling, considering that the opener is a tad over 7 minutes long and serves as an ideal opener. They took the work from This Is Not For You, sat on it for a while, but ultimately didn’t rush themselves into creating or releasing something that was subpar. Too many artists nowadays have that hidden pressure from labels or similar outliers to share as quickly as possible. That typically turns into the least memorable work, but Dissonance has become something we already know we’ll be cranking up for the foreseeable future.
The band has been around since 2003, and while we definitely need to do a re-exploration of the rest of their discography, there are certainly tracks on here that we’ll be coming back to. Specifically, “Hot Sick” and the closer “One Day At A Time” are going to be staples in our personal workout playlists. The crazy energy that’s displayed, along with musicianship and intense instrumentation, are unbelievable to sum it up. Brigade is back and we sincerely hope it’s not 11 more years until we get to hear what else they’ve been working on.
