  Maximum Metal Rating Legend
5 Excellent - Masterpiece. A classic.
4.5-4 Great - Almost perfect records but there's probably a lacking.
3.5 Good - Most of the record is good, but there may be some filler.
3 Average - Some good songs, some bad ones at about a half/half ratio.
2.5-2 Fair - Worth a listen, but best obtained by collectors.
1.5-1 Bad - Major problems with music, lyrics, production, etc.
0 Terrible - Waste of your life and time.

Note: Reviews are graded from 0-5, anything higher or not showing is from our old style. Scores, however, do not reveal the important features. The written review that accompanies the ratings is the best source of information regarding the music on our site. Reviewing is opinionated, not a qualitative science, so scores are personal to the reviewer and could reflect anything from being technically brilliant to gloriously cheesy fun.

Demos and independent releases get some slack since the bands are often spent broke supporting themselves and trying to improve. Major releases usually have big financial backing, so they may be judged by a heavier hand. All scores can be eventually adjusted up or down by comparison of subsequent releases by the same band. We attempt to keep biases out of reviews and be advocates of the consumer without the undo influence of any band, label, management, promoter, etc.

The best way to determine how much you may like certain music is to listen to it yourself.

Thrash thrash thrash, riding hard and riding free. From Lithuania (sorry, never been there) comes Dissimulation, a seasoned thrash style black metal band that is a bit controversial for their blasphemous tendencies. The band has released their second effort to date through the label Ledo Takas, known for their release recently of Obtest. Dissimulation is made of Nekrofagas on guitars, Stabmeldys on drums, and Venomous on bass/vocals.

Fans of old thrash leatherneck bands should enjoy this group. Think of bands like Venom and Bathory crossed up with the German and bay area thrash scene of the '80s. At times I can hear that wicked bay area romp laid down by the mighty "Kill 'Em All" era Metallica, combined with the black metal, blasphemous bomb beats of Venom or Darkthrone. The end result is a thrash 'em and weep, killer black album that is both retro and raw.

"Prakeikimas" is highly recommended for the likes of old Kreator, Sodom, Metallica, Venom, and Bathory. Live from the batcave....perhaps.
