Album Rating: 4.0

Good News: The Faceless rid of breakdowns and no longer sound like a self-parody, there's more diversity to be heard between the tracks, the vocals will smite your ears, and the band has dropped much of the nonsensical Nintendo-influenced "look what I can do" bullshit so prevelant on their debut.



Bad News: More Cynic-esque robovocals and less of the multi-layered chaos that made them stand out in a sea of tech-death clones.



All in all, it's a worthy album and a must-have for all fans of shreddy death metal.

Good News: The Faceless rid of breakdowns

Album Rating: 4.5

yeah they wrote some pretty awesome breakdowns...and you could say that there's some on here too.

could someone break down the breakdowns for me

Album Rating: 4.5

they're siqq breh

i see i see

i cant stand the drumming on this album. it might be the download though. i prefer their other album

their other album with the 6 different drummers lol

i think this is better. flat out better, really. Akeldama was boring except for An Autopsy and Leica.

Album Rating: 4.5

An Autopsy was probably the least interesting song on Akeldama lol

Album Rating: 4.5

nah An Autopsy rules, especially live

Album Rating: 4.5

Yeah it was fun when I saw them a few weeks ago and all, but it just can't match up with Pestilence, the title track, Ghost of a Stranger, etc

Album Rating: 4.5

GHOST OF A STRANGER

Album Rating: 3.5

ancient covenant is still my favorite off the album. also, is it just me or is the alternate picking on prison born ridiculously fast?

Album Rating: 4.5

The majority of this album is ridiculously fast.This Message Edited On 11.17.08

i've given it more than a week to digest. it's definitely better than akeldama. it has a more focused sound. the style is unique, genuine, and tasteful.

keene's leads are sort of similar though, with a few exceptions. many times during this album, i'll hear a run or phrase that'll remind me if pestilence or an autopsy. i wish he had more technical skill, but it's enjoyable enough i suppose.

Album Rating: 4.5

Great album imo. Easily one of the best releases this year. It really does get better with every

listen. At first i would have given it a 3,5-4 rating.



The album as a whole did not hit me as hard as 'Akeldama' did though.This Message Edited On 11.17.08

Nice review. This band does absolutely nothing for me.

Album Rating: 4.0

I actually prefer Akeldama over this release. However, still very good album. Sons of Belial and XenoChrist are some of the best Deah Metal songs I have heard in awhile.
