Bonus - Discordance Axis pt. 2 (Feat. Requiem Metal Podcast)

This is the second half of our conversation with the Requiem Metal podcast about the grindcore band Discordance Axis. In this half we dig into the way they incorporate images and concepts from Neon Genesis Evangelion. We also talk about Discordance Axis's spiritual successor Gridlink, who frequently referenced bullet video games, mecha anime, and the War on Terror in their work.

Special thanks to Jon Chang for his interview, and to Jason Hudney and Mark Rudolph from Requiem.

Requiem is one of the most in-depth and thoroughly researched msuic history shows around.
