REVIEW: Dissimulation - Atiduokit Mirusius Ledo Takas Records, 2008
7/10
Dissimulation - Atiduokit Mirusius - cover art Dissimulation? What a strange name... well, they seem to be a well stablished band in their country, Lithuania. If a label such as Ledo Takas is behind these guys, one should take them seriously! The beginning of the album mocks us with a circus melody, and then the metallic fury comes to the fore. Sometimes thrash, others black; seldom deathsters, when not simply a raid into thrash-black landscapes, the metal performed by this band is nothing but pounding and powerful, aggressive as hell. Mid tempos are quite comfy to these guys though fast parts aren´t forgotten in these tracks. Technical extravaganzas are not in their agenda either, this is rather straight music to the core of darkness. However, there are no traces of clumsy abilities or awkward structures; the music is endowed with great dynamics and variety and that fact makes the listening enjoyable. I evoke some blinks to bands as Tormentor (for example in the snare drum rolls in “Šliundra”) and plenty of thrash and speed metal influences, being Sodom a prominent name in this issue. The production has been solid and consistent; put the blame on Phoenix Riga and Gints Lundbergs as the man behind the mixing table, both names associated with the Latvian band Skyforger with worthy results, like this case. Definitely a good dose of extreme metal from Lithuania able to please a wide range of fans.
