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 song writing 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. Adorned with form-meeting-content cover artwork, Speciation is bound to be the year's most forward-thinking/backwards-looking death metal album.
