These guys have been around since 1998 and they are from Chile– the same place where many good thrash metal bands started out back in the 80s. It’s pretty clear that these guys like their 80s thrash metal. The influences are hard to miss; with Testament being the most prominent influence, combined with the speed and aggression of Slayer. Oh yes, speed and aggression rules the day here. Throw in some Testament-style guitar harmonies to the mix and you will have a fairly good idea of what Dissident sounds like, offering more than enough energy and aggression to get a mosh-pit going. On the other end of the spectrum you get technical tracks too. In summary, this album is proof that old school thrash metal is having a revival. Had I not known that Dissident have been around since 1998 I would have assumed that they were from the 80s themselves. They are continuing the tradition introducing a new generation of metal fans to the old school Thrash Metal. Good stuff !!facebook.com/dissident.chile
