Faceless Burial to Release Speciation 2020-06-13 by Fernando Alves | 11 Comments | Me Saco Un Ojo and Dark Descent Records have announced that Australia’s death metallers Faceless Burial sophomore album Speciation is scheduled to be released on August 7th, 2020.
Take a peek at the album's teaser below.
Tracklist:
1. Worship
2. Limbic Infirmary
3. Irreparably Corpsed
4. Speciation
5. Spuming Catarrhal Gruel
6. Ravished to the Unknown
ClawHammer PR states:
For the past five years, Australia’s FACELESS BURIAL have been flying the flag of classicist ‘90s death metal, first across a demo in 2015 and then the subsequent (and acclaimed) Grotesque Miscreation debut album in 2017 and follow-up Multiversal Abattoir MLP a year later. Those latter two recordings, in particular, portrayed the potency of this power-trio, displaying an unremittingly dark and dexterous sound which draws in a variety of death metal traditions.
Going from strength to strength, FACELESS BURIAL play their strongest hand yet with the full-length Speciation . Altogether sharper and more finessed than all previous, Speciation spreads unimaginable DEATH METAL MIGHT with malignant ease.
FACELESS BURIAL exude a charisma that’s totally their own, which largely comes down to the songwriting itself. Where the preceding records maintained a murky ‘n’ malodorous aspect, that was predominantly in the sound itself; here on Speciation , it’s been parlayed into the tense ‘n’ treacherous textures they explore. Otherwise, no great changes have been made, nor should there be: forever twisting and never stagnating, each of these six songs reveals new corridors through which to spelunk, and efficiently so across the album’s deceptively epic 36-minute runtime.
Thankfully, once again, FACELESS BURIAL evade the riff-salad tendencies of so much tech-oriented death metal; their sound isn’t so much a restless blast through scattershot ideas as it is an endlessly malforming entity making rude shapes, and now one colored by narrative lead work. Which is to say nothing of the album’s powerful production, which is rendered in authentically analogue tones and further underlines the band’s reverent devotion to death metal classicism.
Adorned with form-meeting-content cover artwork, Speciation is bound to be the year’s most forward-thinking/backwards-looking death metal album.

Ugly album art but the band is good

Production & solos on the Multiversal Abattoir EP were incredible. Really looking forward to this.

somehow I missed that this band released anything since their demo but sweet that means more material to check out

Grotesque Miscreation is one of the best death metal albums of the 2010s, this will be a must listen

This teaser was great, sounds like Ulcerate if they weren't so...modern sounding. Very interesting direction, excited to hear the whole album.

Haven't heard these guys but I get advance stuff from Clawhammer so I'll check this for sure. Teaser sounds promising
| | |
Yeah, teaser has peaked my interest

This isn't a new Alkaline Trio record.
