Versus Music Agency, together with Wraith Agency and Fire Was Born, are really proud to present the first edition of Dissonance Festival, which will take place on June 22nd at Milan's venue Live Forum. The festival's first headliner is Skyharbor (India – Basick Records). Often defined as "India's brightest hope", this band fronted by TesseracT's former vocalist Daniel Tompkins, claimed it's role as one of the most interesting band of the modern progressive metal/djent scene. Second headliner revealed is Napoleon (UK – Destroy Everything) bringing their experimental take on melodic metalcore. The local guests of the event will surely keep the level high: Damned Spring Fragrantia (Basick Records) have been Italy's biggest mathcore/djent export for over one year now, Lies Of Nazca (Rogue Records America) have recently confirmed for Uk Tech-Fest, while Forgotten Tears and Despite Exile are among the most respected acts in our country. Two more local acts have been revealed now as well, ready to warm up the night: Burn After Me and Got No Ego.
