Album Review: Fallujah - Dreamless

A captivating, polished and fresh LP.

With Dreamless, Fallujah are really defining the expectations for modern progressive death-metal. Boasting a lead voice who actually has a backbone and a drummer to rival Gene 'The Atomic Clock' Hoglan, there's fast passages, cavernous screams, noodle-filled interludes and blistering solos galore. While the compositions are innovative and the production is crisp, there's a sense of realisation here you won't have felt in a long time from a metal release. This is a band who have worked hard to make the most of their talent, and have subsequently reinvigorated a genre.
