Dissimulation mix glimpses of Death, Black & Thrash into mid-paced to fast, mediocre, overly poppish and bland metal. Say what?

Frankly, I can't be bothered to give more of an introduction for this band, as I'm in general not a fan of wasted energy and effort. Instead, I'll point this very useful link out to you, if you really want to learn more about these bland Black/Thrashers.

You know, don't get me wrong, I have absolutely no problem with Black Thrash. Quite the opposite actually, the genre can create a dark rage that has few matches. When done right, obviously. But Dissimulation doesn't do it right. Hell, at times they sound like they don't even care themselves. The title track, for example "Atiduokit Mirusius" starts off reasonably, but halfway it sinks deep into a swamp of lethargy. Add that particular track to the overkill of filler-riff and wholly un-exciting song writing ideas and it's as if the band doesn't even want us to thrash our heads. I'm actually quite offended that they are trying to shove their boring drivel down my throat.

And you may know how to handle your guitar, but once it results in angry reviewers, you're pretty much screwed. But there's a reason for my anger, and that is this piece of mediocrity. It doesn't spark, it doesn't excite, it's just there. Predictability and the lack of originality kill this album. Check a sample if you don't believe me, but don't bother me whining about your time lost.
