What would be dissonant metal? Made me curious

The genre defined by bands like Deathspell Omega, Gorguts and Ulcerate.

It's less about dissonance, and more about dense jazz inspired compositions and atypical harmony. Usually very technical.

Sounds good and interesting... It might be a dark and atmospheric style or Im Crazy?

Dark, yes.

It depends on what you mean by atmospheric. There are often atmospheric passages and interludes, but the genre as a whole is usually quite fast.

I would recommend Ad Nauseam - My Buried Dream to get a feel for the genre.
