“Stige” by Italian nu-metal musician Joe Discordia AKA Joe D. is an explosive and edgy concept album. The 27th of April, 2022 release was partly influenced by the video game Final Fantasy VII and the principles of the Buddhist movement Soka Gakkai. This album is a blend of melodies and feelings that guides an audience through a fantasy scenario centered on the persona “Stige.” They are destined to cycle through agony and find a path to serenity through Buddha’s teachings. Anticipate a blend of aggressive trap beats, severely distorted guitars, and flavorful synths, all accented by Joe D’s strong vocals. This underground artist’s album “Stige”, is a vast creative effort that will captivate any audiophile.

Joe D. is an indie artist from Sardinia, Italy, who grew up with a fascination for video games, psychology, and Buddhism. When the musician began performing in bands as a youngster, he drew song ideas from every sentiment, such as fury and grief. Eventually, upon discovering Buddhism, he found the most organic source for music, dishing up a distinctive blend of nu-metal, hardcore punk, pop, and electronic music to surprise and draw audiences.

From the spiritual cadence of “Mishima” to the raw intensity of “Bahuana Ghet!”, we can feel the immense drive of Joe D’s melodies. The entire album has a fire mix of distortion guitars and electronic beats that keeps your feet tapping, and in awe of what to expect next. The musician is in his element with a solid musical flow.
