Beginning production in 2020, “Receptor” was poised to be the immediate successor to Dissona’s 2016 album “Paleopneumatic” before the pandemic dashed the industry’s momentum upon the rocks. Time, however, has a curious way of reviving what was once forced into dormancy. Now completely realized and tangible, “Receptor” is an electrifying journey that embodies Dissona’s dynamic and unmistakable approach to the metal medium. Dissona’s third album, “Receptor,” is coming on October 1, 2025, via Earache Distribution.
First single, “Receptor”, is available right now for streaming. The title track is the culmination of everything Dissona has built themselves to be and effectively serves as the overture to the “Receptor” album. The song is at once a showcase of Dissona’s inimitable sound, more mature and robust than ever, as well as a scene-setting piece to immerse the listener into the album’s distinct aural realm. Featuring the siren-like guest vocals of Laura Guldemond of Burning Witches fame, “Receptor” bursts forth with ferocious urgency and crackles with a fiery intensity. A churning rhythm section acts as the propulsive undercurrent, carrying waves of raging guitar, seething synth-work, and a powerhouse vocal performance, ultimately cresting to an iconic duet both haunting and captivating. “Receptor” can be heard right now on all streaming platforms and Bandcamp.

In regard to the album, Dissona states:
With ‘Receptor,’ we challenged ourselves harder than ever before to not only create something that tests our limits as performing musicians, but also burns bright with raw energy and real emotion. It is by far the most dynamic and focused work we have created–unadulterated and unyielding.
