            █  Since its origins in the 80s, thrash has undergone  █
            █  quite the revitalization, melding with other metal  █
            █  sub-genres to become a beast quite unlike the one   █
            █  in its heyday. That said, the sheer number of       █
            █  bands attempting to emulate successes has also      █
            █  watered the scene down, creating uninspiring        █
            █  carbon copy acts. ItÆs remarkable, then, that a     █
            █  young band from Pennsylvania named Dissentience     █
            █  can make the genre sound fresh in 2018, with a      █
            █  style that already screams æsignatureÆ on their     █
            █  dΘbut EP.                                           █
            █                                                      █
            █  From the opening moments of ôManiacö, Dissentience  █
            █  make their statement clear û to twist thrashÆs      █
            █  hungry intensity in a progressive direction.        █
            █  Selecting flavors from black and death metal, each  █
            █  moment feels hand-crafted for maximum impact and    █
            █  memorability. There is also a melodic thread that   █
            █  runs through proceedings, carried ably by Jimmy     █
            █  Vitale and Connor ValentinÆs guitar work, while     █
            █  the latter screams his throat hoarse about          █
            █  societal woes and moral quandaries û in some ways   █
            █  recalling the great Chuck Schuldiner. While the     █
            █  bandÆs influences are detectable, itÆs more akin    █
            █  to carrying the torch further than running behind   █
            █  in their shadows.                                   █
            █                                                      █
            █  As the EP unfolds, each memberÆs talents is         █
            █  brought to the fore û whether the relentless        █
            █  drumming of Nick Scherden on ôDisinterö or Sean     █
            █  LangerÆs furious bass lines on ôSynapse             █
            █  Corruptionö that underpin the frantic yet           █
            █  empowering riffs and solos. Every one of the five   █
            █  songs has something to write home about, and by     █
            █  the time Mask of Pretense comes to a close, the 22  █
            █  minutes feel like an eye-blink. ItÆs rare that a    █
            █  band lands fully formed and meaning business, but   █
            █  Dissentience are that rare case                     █
