Kinetic Dissent

The infancy of Atlanta, GA's KINETIC DISSENT dates back to '84 with a group of friends writing and recording initial ideas in a four-track home studio. Once solidified as KINETIC DISSENT in '87, the group quickly set out to work on a six-song demo. The band commenced performing live and subsequently recorded another demo in '88.The strengths of that demo landed KD a deal with Roadracer Records. The band entered Musicplex Studios in Atlanta to demo four new songs that would eventually be re-recorded for their full-length debut. That album, I Will Fight No More Forever (1991)—the group's lone proper release—remains an unsung masterpiece of truly unique and innovative progressive thrash metal. However, despite having opened for the likes of Death Angel, Pantera, Type O Negative, etc., KD never received proper tour support to promote the album. Now a quartet, the band self-financed the recording of three new songs in '92. Roadracer decided to pass, and within a year this promising young outfit had run its course far too soon.
