Every riff serves a purpose, be it building a groove or creating tension within technical runs or descending pulses. However you might envision that sort of spectacle the result on ‘Multiversal Abbatoir’ begins to approach the untouchable spirit of classic Immolation without aping their actual sound. The crooked blasting and Suffocation-esque opening riffs of “Theriomorphic Meconium Aspiration” soon give way to Funebrarum styled flitting between Incantation‘s pinch harmonic punctuated crawls and a monstrously regal riff. None of that would be particularly notable if their music wasn’t entirely willed into form through inspired riffcraft and succinctly delivered song structures.
Faceless Burial do not dabble in any sort of -core, though, their style is comparable to a band like Abramelin Intrepid brutality inspired by the New York old school death metal scene of the late 80’s/early 90’s is complimented by considerable talent for the twisted death/thrash riffing of that same era. Young but seeming veterans of the Melbourne adjacent grindcore and powerviolence circles it seems that the fellows that make up this band began to circle the wagons around the time activity in (post- Cut Sick! band) Internal Rot began to wind down for a longer hiatus. If you slept on their debut full-length ‘Grotesque Miscreation’ (2017) consider your complacency an easily absolved hindrance.
With the echoing crackle of a campfire snapping under a doomed acoustic guitar intro riff Melbourne, Australia death metal trio Faceless Burial signal the return of their intense brand of riff-based brutality in 2018.
