Review: THE FACELESS – “Planetary Duality”

The Faceless - “Planetary Duality” [Sumerian] … whatever “-core” this band once embodied has since been replaced by Tech Death in spades, further embracing forefathers like Necrophagist (read: no breakdowns) … they have also clearly been listening to Cynic, evidenced in their artwork, lyrics, and use of vocoder … still trying to find their niche on their second release, they were wise to ramp down the keyboards on this album, but should consider doing away with–or improving–the clean vox … 3 and 8 are instrumentals … FCC OK … Try 1, 2, 4, 5 … 2008Nov11
