- Above and beyond the requested
As my title states, this band is doing more than making metal, they are doing a lot of hybrid styling.

Flat out is this metal? Yes. Is this album generic? No

Not to put down any of the previously posted reviews, but I usually have a affinity to steer away from albums labeled deathcore, screamo, metalcore, whatever you want to state, I don't really enjoy labels, other than the one true root label of metal. more importantly I would rather it just be referred to as music. Which is how I will dictate the remaining review of this band.

With "veil of maya's" first album, I really found a lot of good music, and enjoyable riffs. However one thing it lacked was some tighter playing, everything was a little too loose and was begging for the slack to be picked up ... Read More

- TIGHT musicianship!
Not exactly my taste in regards to the vocals (cookie monster vocals), but the musicianship in this band is phenominal. TIGHT, TIGHT relationship with all the instruments. I love the polymetric breakdowns these guys go into. It's mindboggling to me how these guys are so tight with the various polyrhythmic patterns they go into. Even the avid Meshuggah listener will be challeneged with the polymetrics of this band. I used to not be able to stomach these types of vocals but I'm glad I've learned how, because I love the musicianship in this band. Since vocals are a matter of personal preference and I recognize it takes talent to sing like this, I give this album 5 stars, EASILY.

- Best songwriting I have ever heard in this genre
Most bands that get as heavy as VOM start to lose their creativity throughout albums but, VOM writes so that the listener does not become sidetracked while listening which makes them original in this genre. They are very talented musicians and were just on a tour with necrophagist!I would compare them to Necrophagist because of the low vocals, but VOM loves their off timing breakdowns that Necrophagist does not. Must have album!

- An epic smooshing for the ages
Smoosh the melodicness of At the Gates or Black Dahlia Murder with the technical precison of Meshuggah and Beneath the Massacre and you get this. It is quite good, my buddy's band shared the stage with them recently and I sampled them on a whim finding them to be amazing. Most songs leave you windmilling lone after its over. Any "breakdowns" in this album are tight and techy enough to keep even a shred-type fan like myself interested. Each one isn't the pinnacle of the song like most bands who write breakdowns in. Amazing leads and drum work make all the more fun. highly recommended for Fans of The Faceless, Meshuggah, Black Dahlia Murder or Beneath The Massacre.

- a big leap for modern deathcore
Veil Of Maya's "The Common Man's Collapse" will not fail any true deathcore fan. It is very unique compared to other standard deathcore bands. With a great record label (Sumerian) and release, soon the whole world will be jamming this cd. This cd is nothing more or less than great musicianship, and these guys surely have a great future. Definitely worth the buy!!!
