This past Tuesday I got to see Dysrhythmia play again for the second time here in Portland at the Rotture. What a show! These guys seriously melt some faces. They have just released a new album this past summer called Psychic Maps on Relapse Records and played “Festival of Popular Delusions” from it and gave that song a whole new breed of energy. With only three guys, they can give one hell of a power punch, Jeff wailing on the kit, Kevin shredding passages on the 6-string machine, and Colin playing the bass faster and more technical then most guitar players around.

Also from the night, a local band from Portland, With Eyes Abstract, opened up right before Dysrhythmia and grabbed my attention causing me to leave the show with both of there albums. Right up the alley with Dysrhythmia, With Eyes Abstract surely knows how to create some wild passages and patterns with only three dudes too. They just released a brand new album called Fire At The Library and if you enjoy the tunes of Dysrhythmia, I would definitely recommend these guys.

Above is the artwork from With Eyes Abstract’s: Fire At The Library album done by Eatcho. I really think it’s some fun stuff, you can check out more at their website.
