Upcoming Bullshit

AFTER THE BURIAL GETTING READY FOR ROUND TWO

 Thursday, January 21st, 2010 at 3:00pm by

Sumeriancore 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.

    Who are the kings of Sumeriancore?

    The Faceless. I can’t believe this was even up for debate.

      However, The Faceless are the exception, not the standard.

      • Alex_P

        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.

        • joshkid

          Dude, Planetary Duality is way better than Akeldama (which is awesome too). Yes, The Faceless are the kings.

          • cosk

            yeah planetary duality is much better

    • smear

      listening to XenoChrist at the moment…

  • Spanky

    Veil of Maya are the kings!

    • Brendan

      Upvoted

  • Ben

    The Faceless, there is no other.

  • myke

    nice by far such an underrated band

  • Tonberry

    That’s kind of like asking who the king of jellybeans is.

    • Flava Flav

      its me i’m da king a dat

      • Flava Flav

        at least i’d really like to be…

  • Driven9

    holy shit, I cannot wait for this. If they continue to put out these bullshit ‘productioin-teaser” im gonna go insane. fuck…

  • Kevlard

    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.

  • evilfatguy

    They sure do love Meshuggah.

    • orbital

      seriously. 8-strings all around.

  • iolanach

    Sumeriancore.

    What a ridiculous label.

    Anyways, these guys are pretty damn good. Can’t wait for the new one.

  • Nick

    After the Burial are the kings of sumeriancore. They have all the traits of the other sumeriancore bands only they’re better :/

  • http://www.myspace.com/somethinglikesweet CJ

    Born Of Osiris.

    • Kill All

      fail

    • http://myspace.com/legions Dylan White

      FUCK YES.

  • Timbodini

    Fuck kings… The Faceless are the Gods

  • needly needly doo

    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

  • hackman

    the faceless. hands down. end of story. game over.

    • http://www.noisecreep.com Jay

      Don’t be that guy.

  • De La Rosa

    No one even cares about Stray.

    • DecrystallizingReason

      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..!

  • Daniel

    Wow, thanks for showing me these guys metalsucks… I can’t stop listening! Groovy. Great riffs. Lovin’ it!

    • joshkid

      yeah never listened to these guys, but after this vid I sure am gonna!!!
      Thanks again MS!!!

  • MetalRod

    What Daniel said. That solo was pretty wicked, I’m digging this shit!

  • http://www.myspace.com/somethinglikesweet CJ

    I love The Faceless, but they really don’t seem like they fit the tag of Sumeriancore to me.

  • dick?

    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.

    • http://myspace.com/legions Dylan White

      BOOs become a letdown </3

  • Kill All

    ATB > all

    • Chris

      Agreed.

  • Brownsound

    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

    • http://myspace.com/legions Dylan White

      I agree, I loved BOOs first album, it inspired me a lot musically, but the new one only lyrically was interesting to me with maybe Now Arise as an exception instrumentally. When they make a new ablum it better make me wet myself, seriously.

  • Walker

    Aspirations makes me jump around like an idiot. ATB songs sound different compared to BOO.

  • skip crackers

    fuck calling it sumeriancore….its straight up meshuggah-core…call a spade a spade

  • Slaughterhouse
