Montreal’s Dissimulator will be a new name to most in 2024, but with the release of razor-sharp debut LP ‘Lower Form Resistance’ the band unleash an overwhelming future shock on the auditory and sensory nerves, permanently imprinting on the cerebral cortex with their pulsating unconventional attack. Comprised of a membership with resumes that include Chthe’ilist, Atramentus, Beyond Creation and more, the band executes its jagged sci-fi Death-Thrash with vicious intricacy.
Over the course of ‘Lower Form Resistance’s’ 42 minutes the jarring angular riffs, complex structures and atmosphere of exuberant incongruity meshes acutely with a straightforward momentum and perpetual accessibility at the crossroads where the Thrash and Death Metal scenes began to coalesce and directional potentiality felt limitless. Add to this a Voivod-ian prescience of robotic sentience and technological doom and Dissimulator’s vision makes for total immersion in their world-building enterprise.
The off-kilter and adventurous spirit of ‘Lower Form Resistance’ that manages to sound fresh today while conjuring a certain spirit of ’88-’93 makes the Dissimulator debut a mesmerizingly bizarre and gratifying dose of aggressive alacrity.

REAL STUDIO ENGINEERING THAT SOUNDS GREAT. The drums *actually* sound like drums.

[@vinhxo2k632]

The artwork is by Jesse Draxler who also made the cover for You Won't Get What You Want

[@RandyX666]

Everyone go buy this album! It fucking shreds, and 20BS did a great job of edging us with singles for a couple months - they earned it!!

[@cenotaphobscure]

Voivod and Obliveon are obvious touchstones but I also hear elements of Coroner, Sadus and more modern bands like Vektor. Along with the new Sovereign album this is some grade A technical death/thrash.

[@alainrutishauser8327]

Woww, great record! For anyone into technical thrash with harsh vocals: Check out Chemical Breath from Belgium, especially their '92 album Fatal Exposure.

[@INTOTHEPIT]

Awesome! Now imagine this with Alan Tecchio or Jason McMaster in vocals.

[@doumgreg]

Un produit du Québec 🪓

[@araccooneatinggrapes8633]

great sequel to Nemesis by Obliveon

[@itsybitsyzombie]

This is some of the best death/thrash I've heard in a long time. So good.

[@JoinTheVoidOfEnuo]

Only a few minutes in but this rules! I mean this in the best possible way but this reminds me of one of those mid 90s era European Tech Thrash albums that got criminally slept on because people thought the genre was "dead" at the time. I've been hearing a few friends and people in online Metal circles say that Thrash is at the lowest point its been since the 90s, but I'll be damned if this gets slept on too because people refuse to look hard enough beyond the more well known bands.

[@cameronmackenzie6076]

Hell yes! Best use of a vocoder since Focus

[@spectrum-g9511]

Tight, heavy, aggressive, complex, memorable with twist and turns and it grooves like a motherfuckrr. My album of the year so far (I know is early in 2024, but still, this is so f... good, right up my alley) remarkable work, congrats, guys.

[@grandfathernurgle2840]

Instantly a fan of this album; gives me strong Martyr vibes.

[@radosawkucharzak8164]

Great album ,I like the Voi-Vod influence.

[@Barbara-86]

Very solid. Been a while since I've heard good thrashy death, but this scratches the itch for sure.

[@nickcovington8005]

So stoked for this!

[@pmgrafael]

Excellent! 10/10! Creativeness at its high point

[@andsin999]

holy shit!!

[@AlexB414]

Yea this is my jam. Besides the obvious aforementioned influences, it's giving me hints of Forté and Watchtower of yore as well as commonalities with Canadian contemporaries Autonoesis.

[@mattstiglic]

Straight banger

[@hannahe6738]

Most excellent 20 buck spin does not fail

[@therealandrecorbin4050]

Damn!, other than that, speechless.

[@emergentform1188]

Absolutely savage and super groovy, nice! Do I hear a little voivod influence too maybe? And the great Philippe Boucher from Beyond Creation on drums, what's not to love?

[@RussFerri]

Will there be a tape at some point 20 buck spin? This album must go in my collection!

[@20buckspinlabel]

A tape is available from Canadian label Productions TSO. We'll get hold of some soon or can be ordered direct from them.

[@Metalholic7of8]

They shred n slam in all the right places definitely like this very good musicians,. Does anybody know the country of origin

[@20buckspinlabel]

Montreal, Canada

[@gatopebre4970]

that flanger

[@christianauerbach9845]

Stands to reason when you consider BC is just a Fucking superb Metal Machine . Ancient Metal Guy / Cheers Fucko's

[@jamesheiman1602]

Holy shit this album 😍 i hear alot of influences and sounds but this gave me Revocation Chaos of Forms vibe the most. I will definitely replay this again and again

[@Lilmacmcmo]

I was blown away the first time i heard this album so i immediately looked them up and saw that they had 2 other albums. Super stoked so i clicked and realized in about 2 seconds that it's not the same band. It was some deathcore BS that is literally the most pretentious genre of metal there is lol.

[@_ADINFINITUM]

this is just the right balance of Voivod and Vektor (with Morbid Angel vocals) to make my ears all tingly.

[@cavemant4842]

Filthy DM with Cyber Grind vibes? Don't mind if I do!
