  • The Faceless “Planetary Duality”

    When we last heard from The Faceless, I was pleasantly surprised by their debut effort Akeldama. Seeing the bands they were compared to and seeing Sumerian Records’ roster made me think that the band was going to suck ass. Akeldama surprised me by ripping out a slab of brutal death metal mixed with technicality, melody, [...]

  • After The Burial “Rareform”

    Oh Goody, another band from Sumerian Records.

God those pieces of shit [...]

  • Veil of Maya “The Common Man’s Collapse”

    What a deceptive piece of shit this band is. You see that band name? What’s the first thing you’d expect? Yeah, that’s right: Cynic-style progressive/technical death metal. That’s not at all what you get on The Common Man’s Collapse. A little deduction makes it clear that the band name is really a reference to the [...]

  • The Faceless “Akeldama”

    The Faceless was another band that caught me by surprise within the last few months. When I saw an ad for their cd and MySpace I immediately wrote them off: their label mates on Sumerian Records were almost a tell-tale sign of crap (i.e. bands entirely based within the Hatebreed lineage of "hardcore") and the [...]
