Italy's death metal scene is sure in full bloom, given the number of albums that come out of the land of pizzas and Rhapsody Of Fire. Sure, quite a lot of this scene is more hero-worship than anything else, but where do Anyface stand on the map?
Well, they're not ultra aggressive like Hour Of Penance; they're technical, of course, somehow similar to bands like Decrepit Birth, or Suffocation, only quite a bit slowed down. The riffs don't go at breakneck speed here; it's upbeat for sure, but not blisteringly so. They are quite twisted, with odd time signatures and what-not; OK, it's a staple of the style, but they do not sound cliché, and that alone is great. The drumming is good, precise, but not blatantly original; the bass lines are good, crunchy and powerful. And the solos are nicely melodic affairs, quite a contrast with the pounding rhythms.
