With ‘Artifice Dissolves’, Montreal's Dissimulator accelerate beyond the formidable sonic coordinates established by ‘Lower Form Resistance’ and plunge headlong into a future world where technological hegemony and catastrophic entropy exist in perfect equilibrium. Their jagged sci-fi Death-Thrash has evolved into an ever more labyrinthine construct, fusing serrated riff matrices and volatile rhythmic architecture into an algorithm-obliterating neural hack.
‘Artifice Dissolves’ propels itself like an untethered artificial consciousness recursively rewriting its own code, with each movement revealing another phantasmagorical dimension within Dissimulator's bionic mythology. Razor-wire guitar lines, alien yet familiar, whiplash and intersect at impossible angles whilst the rhythm section drives songs like ‘Alloyed’ and ‘Neon Metropolis’ through perpetual states of intensifying velocity, collapse, and reassembly, creating a surging sense of momentum undeterred by its relentless intricacy.
An awe-inspiring convergence of futuristic world-building and unrestrained, unapologetic technical aggression, ‘Artifice Dissolves’ is a cyborg hallucination of a civilization wasting away in the sunless gutters of its autonomous megacities, the warped fever dreams of an omniscient God-machine, and the malignant side-effects of its cybernetic enhancements. And beneath the album's dazzling precision and violent thrust Dissimulator maintain a timeless human striving for order and transcendence beyond the technological.
