First of all, I know this isnt a deathcore band, but it’s an album I thought was really good. Deathcore takes loads of influences from technical death metal, such as blast beasts and death growling, which is probably why I enjoyed this album so much.
The Faceless are a technical death metal Band from Encino California, they’ve been around for 6 years and Planetary Duality is their second album to date. They are also signed to Sumerian records.
Planetary Duality is pretty standard as technical death metal comes, but what makes this album awesome is that The Faceless have hit the nail on the head with playing great music; the drumming is mad, the guitars are insanely fast and the vocals, while standard, are powerful and dont turn into an endless pig squeal.
Another aspect of this album which is really awesome is that they’ve got a keyboardist playing a really creepy track behind some of the songs, it adds a great creepy feel to the music, which you’re more familiar to hearing in bands like Winds of Plague or Dimmu Borgir.
One thing I didn’t quite get with this album is the strange vocoder effect in some of the songs, its a little out of place and makes you think ” what was that?!”. Apart from this though I have no other problems with this album, it’s dripping with the talent and the obvious hard work which has been put into it.
The Faceless are able to produce a heavy as fuck album the whole way through, with a blistering pace, leaving you wanting more and not bored of mindless grind.
