Disharmonic Orchestra is an Austrian death metal/grindcore band.
History The band was formed in Klagenfurt in 1987. They recorded two demos. A show in Germany with Pungent Stench led to a deal with Nuclear Blast in 1989. The first outcome of that deal was a split with country-mates Pungent Stench. After they released two full-length albums with Nuclear Blast, they signed a new deal and released their third album on Steamhammer. The albums sound different from each other. The band took a break in 1994 . This lasted until 2002. After their debut album, Expositionsprophylaxe, had been reissued, they released the studio album Ahead.
In October 2016, after a long break, the band released the album Fear of Angst. In January 2023, the band released a compilation album of early demos, EPs, and previously unreleased recordings, Repulsive Overtones? 1988-1989 on F.O.A.D. records.
