AFTER THE BURIAL GETTING READY FOR ROUND TWO
Thursday, January 21st, 2010 at 3:00pm by Vince NeilsteinSumeriancore princes After the Burial [which begs the question... who are the kings of Sumeriancore? I seek our readers' input] are working on a new album, the title and release date of which have yet to be announced. But they’ve just posted a video of the pre-production sessions on their MySpace page, and we’ve re-posted it for you below.
Sounds like the follow-up to 2008’s Rareform [a re-vocaled / re-mixed / better-sounding version of which was re-released in 2009] will be just as shreddy, groovy and technical as its predecessor. Rareform was an underrated gem of 2008, a promising label debut from a band on the rise in a scene on the rise. Here’s to hoping they can avoid the sophomore jinx (2006’s independently-released Forging a Future Self not withstanding) by one-upping Rareform and distinguishing themselves from the growing Sumeriancore pack.

Fuck that, they ARE the kings of Sumeriancore!!!
TWIN CITIES CRUSH!!!
Who are the kings of Sumeriancore?
The Faceless. I can’t believe this was even up for debate.
+1
However, The Faceless are the exception, not the standard.
Yup, it’s the Faceless, even if nothing post-Akeldama can bear that label. Truth is, Akeldama is probably going to end up being the best Death/Sumeriancore record of all time.
Dude, Planetary Duality is way better than Akeldama (which is awesome too). Yes, The Faceless are the kings.
yeah planetary duality is much better
+1
listening to XenoChrist at the moment…
Veil of Maya are the kings!
Upvoted
The Faceless, there is no other.
nice by far such an underrated band
That’s kind of like asking who the king of jellybeans is.
its me i’m da king a dat
at least i’d really like to be…
holy shit, I cannot wait for this. If they continue to put out these bullshit ‘productioin-teaser” im gonna go insane. fuck…
The Faceless are def kings of Sumeriancore.
Also, ATB shouldn’t have redone their last album but instead fixed Forging a Future Self. That album is a fucking gem but sadly has the worst production value I’ve ever heard on a metal album.
They sure do love Meshuggah.
seriously. 8-strings all around.
Sumeriancore.
What a ridiculous label.
Anyways, these guys are pretty damn good. Can’t wait for the new one.
After the Burial are the kings of sumeriancore. They have all the traits of the other sumeriancore bands only they’re better :/
Born Of Osiris.
fail
Fuck kings… The Faceless are the Gods
the faceless/conducting from the grave/ veil of maya/ after the burial and born of osiris are great bands its almost retarded how good these bands were to making accessible, catchy music while still being tech/ heavy as fuck…every body takes these bands for granted
the faceless. hands down. end of story. game over.
Don’t be that guy.
No one even cares about Stray.
first album was meh, but what I’ve heard of the new one is pretty good. I saw them live and got bored.
That stuffed sounded insane…
Now I’m itching for this..!
Wow, thanks for showing me these guys metalsucks… I can’t stop listening! Groovy. Great riffs. Lovin’ it!
yeah never listened to these guys, but after this vid I sure am gonna!!!
Thanks again MS!!!
What Daniel said. That solo was pretty wicked, I’m digging this shit!
I love The Faceless, but they really don’t seem like they fit the tag of Sumeriancore to me.
fuck born of osiris
after listening to their first album i realized it sounds the same on each track.
if they’re kings of anything it’s sucking it up, BIGTIME.
their guitarist though is damn good, however, ATB is waaaaayyyy better.
and then Veil of Maya seems pretty good.
in order of greatness? Faceless, ATB, VOM.
BOO? lame.
ATB > all
Agreed.
Over a year ago it looked like Born Of Osiris was going to be the King of Sumeriancore, but their new release didn’t really deliver anything to secure that spot.
It’s either After The Burial, Veil of Maya, or The Faceless. I couldn’t tell you who will it will be, they’re all extremely talented bands.
Though I would pay like a hundred bajillion dollars to hear Forging A Future Self re-recorded :O
Aspirations makes me jump around like an idiot. ATB songs sound different compared to BOO.
fuck calling it sumeriancore….its straight up meshuggah-core…call a spade a spade
Check this blog out from After The Burial…fucking genious
