Dissimulation
Mighose
[Ledo Takas]
Right, Ledo Takas - same as the old 'zine. This 7" is limited to 666 hand-numbered copies, and was nicely pressed on violet vinyl. The packaging is incredible! So uniquely dark and brooding! The cover reminds me of a bleaker version of the Ancient 7" even.
Musically, the band has changed ever so slightly. Venomous's vocals are slightly more high pitched and pissed off sounding now, for example. Sounding almost like the fellow from Sammath, but with more control.
Musically, the band have taken the Bathory influence and moved away from it, and done the same thing with the typical Lithuanian keyboard bits. 'Mighose' reminds me of the first Immortal LP: mid-paced with the occasional blast (such as on 'Dvasios is amziu senu'), but still overflowing with tight and 'cold' sounding Northern style riffs. 'Genocidas', an instrumental, uses military style march drumming, backed by the heavy guitars, which is an obvious break from the rest of the recording.
A solid release. Nothing to make the mind shake with awe or other emotions, but still solid black metal from the quality Baltic scene.
