Brian explains why Euphonic Dissonance is labeled as progressive industrial music ...
I must confess - I do tend to drift away from the self prescribed genre picked for Euphonic Dissonance when I'm writing songs but I can't help it. If you are expecting ED to puzzle piece fit into the progressive industrial genre then you're definitely going to be upset when you hear the full repertoire of our musical catalog. There are just too many wonderfully different styles of music in the world to listen to and learn from. How can a person possibly constrain themselves to just one style? In my mind - such a concept seems ludicrous and yet I chose to label the band with a very limiting genre distinction. Why?
Because, if I hadn't chosen a label for this band someone else would. So I took the initiative and created a label that I felt best described the project in a broad sense. I simply combined two of the greatest influences on the creation of the band: progressive rock and industrial music. By doing this we created a new genre that didn't exist before. The Progressive Industrial Music Genre was born.
Does that mean we can only perform those styles of music? Of course it doesn't. We will continue to experiment with all sorts of musical genres for our own personal amusement and hopefully the amusement of others. We will continue to examine different styles such as aggrotech, electronic rock, techno, indie rock and dubstep. And in a pinch - we will always be able to rely on our progressive industrial roots.
If you were going to pick a genre for Euphonic Dissonance what style would it be? Here are a few songs to help you decide.
Thanks for listening and don't forget to tell us the style you chose for us. We look forward to reading your responses.
