✦✦✦✧ After seven years away, JFAC treat us with this powerhouse album, a followup to 2014’s Sun Eater. The band continue to hone their punishing brand of techdeath, flirting with a more experimental approach to their songwriting. The riffs on here: sheer madness. Shout out to the always great Navene Koperweis filling in on drums this time around (but everyone turns in epic performances here). See the rest here
It’s both goofily entertaining and kick ass music, a rare combination. See the rest here
Oh man, how did I miss this when it came out? Nick Schendzielos is one of my favorite metal bassists around (two of his JFAC tracks are on my GAINZ playlist), and the other two guys (from Allegaeon and Havok) are no slouches either! See the rest here
★★★☆ This is JFAC’s most technical, ambitious, and impressive album to date, with the band sounding as much like BTBAM than BDM. For one thing, every performance is tight (special shoutout to Intronaut’s Danny Walker, who handles the drumming duties on this album, and elevates the entire proceedings). For another, Jason Suecof’s production is a perfect fit, and oh my god so much bass guitar all over this goddamned thing I love it! See the rest here
