Spotlight On: FACEBREAKER

Swedish death metal band FACEBREAKER have seen their latest full-length, Infected, get an upcoming US release through Metal Blade Records’ new venture with Cyclone Empire. A new song titled “Bloodlust” is streaming on the band’s MySpace page. Despite my appreciation for things that thrash, Infected earns high marks for not having any trace of thrash at all. Played mostly in mid-tempo with an extra emphasis on pure evil guitars and growling, FACEBREAKER just kind of crawl under your skin and chomp away.
