about

"The most intelligent minds can be led astray by what seem to them phenomena, but to me, mere problems susceptible of lucid explanation" – this quote, derived from A Magician Among the Spirits by Harry Houdini, became the basis for the 2nd Obsidian Mantra's full-length album's title.

The main focus of Minds Led Astray was on writing shorter and more coherent songs – still keeping the refined compositions – and delivering the former dose of groove – but rooted in even more inhospitable and darker sonic aura.

Lyrically, Minds Led Astray explores the issues of irrationality and mankind’s vulnerability to it, drawing on and referring to the skepticism tradition extending from the first protests against witch trails, throughout denouncing the spiritists séances to more recent activitity of modern skeptics.

If you told me that Dischordia shared members with Dysrhythmia I'd believe it without checking. Angular, dissonant constructions that give no fucks about human enjoyment. I need more. Ghuughra
