Fallujah - Xenotaph (2025)

Image
Fallujah’s Xenotaph is a cinematic and cerebral expedition into the human psyche, weaving intricate technical death metal with progressive, dreamlike interludes. Spanning eight tracks with a runtime of around 42 minutes, it melds razor-sharp riffing, punishing rhythm sections, and soaring clean vocals, all underpinned by pristine production that highlights both brutality and nuanced atmosphere. The conceptual themes—life, death, reality, and illusion—are woven through shimmering opener “In Stars We Drown,” dynamic centerpieces like “Kaleidoscopic Waves” and “Labyrinth of Stone,” and the epic title track, which encapsulates the album’s full emotional spectrum. While rooted in their legacy, Fallujah push into new territory, blending cerebral musicianship with unsettling ambience and bold experimentation, making Xenotaph as emotionally resonant as it is technically dazzling. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xenotaph Genre : Technical Death Metal Country : US Final Verdict : 63% (Good Album...
