Diskord is a disharmonic–technical death metal band from Oslo. The band was started in 1999. Diskord's music can be categorized as doomy, progressive/technical death metal, while several critics have labeled the band as hard to classify genre-wise.[1][2][3] Nevertheless, their releases have been critically acclaimed, as for instance evidenced by Austin Weber's piece in the No Clean Singing webzine: "Regardless of what comes out this year, I will be jamming Dystopics a lot; in retrospect. it’s my favorite death metal album from last year",[4] and their inclusion in Norwegian newspaper Tønsberg Blad's list of best albums of the year.[5]

The band has toured extensively and played a number of festivals including several appearances at the Inferno Metal Festival and by:Larm in Oslo, Mono Goes Metal and Kill-Town in Denmark, Old Grave fest in Bucharest, Hole in the Sky in Bergen, Szczecin Extreme Festival in Poland, Asakusa Deathfest in Japan. Diskord was supporting Nasum in Bologna and Possessed in Prague, Behemoth in South Africa, Johannesburg, toured with Dødheimsgard and Cryptic Brood in Europe.

In 2020, the band signed to Transcending Obscurity Records for the release of their upcoming full-length album [6]
