![]() “Piteous Sepulchre (of Amentia)” also cleans up the sound somewhat, allowing the music to sound like the product of three individuals rather than an undifferentiated blasting roar. On “Thereomorphic Meconium Aspiration,” the production took some sharp left turns - during the guitar solo, the sound became significantly cleaner, allowing Macfarlane’s bass to be heard as an almost industrial-thrash rumble, rather than the usual swollen throb at the bottom of the mix. It was more or less in line with the debut, but there were definite signs of growth. Their follow-up was the Multiversal Abbatoir EP, released in 2018. Sepultura, Kohane’s drumming was blindingly fast, and Füj‘s guitar solos screamed across the sky. The music made a strong impression all on its own, though the riffs had the rumbling, rockslide quality of early Deicide or pre- Chaos A.D. The track titles (“Seeping Aberrational Fissures,” “Malignant Excavation,” “Grotesque Miscreation,” “Unrelenting Member,” “Dominion of Swelling Flesh and Chaos,” “The Transfiguration,” “Useless Seed,” “Excoriate,” “Black Ovulation”) implied that it might be a concept album about some kind of monster emerging from underground to impregnate a human woman, but it was hard to say because Macfarlane’s blast-furnace roar rendered the lyrics totally incomprehensible. A tight 34-minute slab featuring nine tracks and a mercifully short sound-effects-heavy intro, it showcased a group already confident in their artistic identity. ![]() The band formed in 2015 and released its debut album, Grotesque Miscreation, independently in 2017. Their second full-length album, Speciation, is out this month, and demonstrates significant artistic growth on their part. ![]() Faceless Burial are a death metal trio from Melbourne, Australia: bassist/vocalist Alex Macfarlane, guitarist Füj, and drummer Max Kohane.
