| While the skeptics will pigeonhole it with the smattering of deathcore bands who have emerged in the last several years, Akeldama represents a watershed record in technical death metal. In just over half an hour, The Faceless are able to fuse raw speed and intensity with varied and memorable songwriting in a tightly produced, crisp package. Deserving of many number of metalphors, it suffices to say that this simply slays. |
