This album is only the first, of what will hopefully be many for the death metal band the Faceless. The minute you start, you get a smack in the face by what the Faceless is: heavy, fast, and differnt. Listening to the song "Akeldama" will change your prespective on death metal (as it did for me). If you're into death metal, and don't mind the weirdness of certain bands, then you should check out the Faceless!

Necrophagist is known for their neo-classical riffs, and heavy sounds, but in their new album "Epitaph" they seem to take a new approch to things, while still staying true to the death metal sound. "Epitaph" differs from "Onset to Putrefaction" on certain points; the neo-classical solo's Suicmez was known for is missing in this album, but the heaviness is still there, and Suicmez has even involved new things into this album which he didn't have in the last one (such as Polka in "Only Ash Remains"). If you're new to Necrophagist, then you should get Epitaph. And if you've been a Necro fan for a while, then you won't be dissapointed by it.
