The infancy of Atlanta, GA’s KINETIC DISSENT dates back to around 1984 with a small group of friends writing and recording initial ideas in a four-track home studio. Having immediately set out to be an all-original band, once solidified as KINETIC DISSENT in 1987, the group quickly set out to work on a six-song demo, The Fall of Individualism, that same year. The core lineup—Dwight Irvin (vocals), Stephen Danyo (guitar), and Ed Reimer (drums)—was then joined by new bassist Troy Stephens and the return of early guitarist Rick MacConnell. As a five-piece, the band commenced performing live and subsequently recorded the four-song Controlled Reaction demo in 1988 at Audio Animations in Smyrna, GA.
