Vomitile, album cover — scorched battlefield of bone and ash, war-torn sigils erupting from the abyss, echoes of militant decay and guttural invocation.

The First Three Sins, The Summary

The First Sin, The Strings/Keys: The guitars are tight, hostile riffcraft—built on classic death metal foundations and sharpened with modern precision. The bass is felt more than heard, but its presence is crucial. The Second Sin, The Vocals: The vocals bite, lead, and command with pure death metal authority. The Third Sin, The Percussions: Blast beats are furious, double kicks are machine-like yet human in feel. No triggers. No quantisation.

The Fourth Sin, Overall Discussion

Opening Invocation: The Blade Awakens

The instant a listener presses play, the first hymn erupts. Faces Of Terror kicks in with a raw instrumental intro. No extra bits. No soft edges. Just pure aggression and fury for twenty minutes, spread across five hymns, each one strikes with force, but joins as one potentially devastating blow.

Vomitile’s Face Of Terror digs deep into your mind. It burrows deep like a drill—drilling to the depths of the void. Face Of Terror is not for weak ears or the faint of heart.

This is not a casual offering, It’s a sharpened blade—packed with force, no mercy, wielded with intent.Furthermore, the listener will find that every riff serves a purpose, slices like razors. Drums are organic. Vocals bite and lead. They demand attention.

Grotesque Sound of Ritual Recording

Faces Of Terror is not a studio-polished release. It’s a ritual document, captured with urgency and intent. The band’s decision to self-record reflects their control over every sonic detail, reinforcing the underground ethos. From available details, this is a homemade EP, tracked entirely in Vomitile’s own studio, a space that has become a crucible for their sound. This autonomy allowed them to shape every tone, every mix decision, every vocal take without compromise.

The atmosphere and sound hits like a battlefield, war-torn, mechanical, unrepentant, hymns such as ‘DrillZone’ evoke machinery and industrial violence, “Grim Obsessions” slows the tempo, allowing dread to seep in. “Option Paralysis” channels chaos and mental collapse. Even the Slayer cover, “Dead Skin Mask,” is reinterpreted with a colder, more clinical edge, stripping away groove in favour of surgical brutality.

The result is a cohesive, aggressive slab of death metal, true to their Mediterranean roots and live reputation. Clarity without gloss—each instrument is audible, but never sterile.

Devilmanship: Guitars and Bass in Ritual Pulse

Vomitile delivers this flawless devilmanship that executes the instrumental composition and music arrangements. Vomitile’s guitar work stays locked tight, hostile riffs crafted atop a rhythmic foundation, the tone is dry, aggressive, and unpolished—no gloss, no reverb padding, built on classic death metal chug, but sharpened with modern precision. There’s no excess—every note is functional, every transition deliberate.

Tremolo passages are used sparingly, they inject cold urgency, especially in hymns like ‘DrillZone.’ The lead work is minimalist and surgical. Solos are short, scalpel-like bursts rather than melodic showcases.

The guitars sound like they were tracked in concrete, not velvet.

Vomitile’s bass lines are thick, low, and slightly fuzzy—never showy, always foundational. The bass shadows the guitars, reinforcing the riff structure without deviation, sitting beneath the guitar, adding weight without clutter.

The bass gives the EP its ritual gravity, anchoring the chaos with subterranean depth.

Vomitile Shot

Percussion and Voice: The Pulse of Terror

The drums are organic, unpolished, and alive—a deliberate rejection of modern sterility. The blast beats are furious and tight, especially in “Faces of Terror” and “Option Paralysis.” There are machine-like double kicks—which are execution, but human in feel. The vocal delivery is pure death metal authority — just deep growls that rattle the music with clear enunciation—no pig squeals, no theatrics, and they tear through the lyrics of war, terror, and psychological collapse.

Vocals sit slightly above the instruments, leading the charge without overpowering the ritual.

Drums: No triggers. No quantisation. The natural room sound is preserved, giving the drums ritual immediacy. The voice stands alone, raw and commanding.

Benediction of Brutality: Forbidden Fruit

Overall, Faces Of Terror is a brutal and heavy forbidden fruit of art — a dark fruit you shouldn’t touch. This isn’t mere songs. It’s a sound blade. Every part builds with intent. It sheds the gloss. Picks clear rite and raw truth from below. Listeners feel the weight. It sticks. Reminds why death metal endures—in scenes built on grit. Vomitile proves the fire still burns. Self-made. Unbowed.

Closing Rite: Gratitude and Final Hymn

The album closes with the final piece, Dead Skin Mask. We extend our deepest thanks to GlobMetal Promotions for granting us the honour of reviewing Faces Of Terror by Vomitile.

The Fifth Sin, The Memorabilia

For me, Faces Of Terror by Vomitile is a solid and heavy release—short, sharp, and unrelenting. Its twenty-minute runtime feels like a concentrated assault, with no filler and no hesitation. Each hymn strikes with intent, and the raw energy packed into this EP left a lasting impression. It’s the kind of release that doesn’t just satisfy—it provokes curiosity. After hearing it, I felt compelled to explore Vomitile’s earlier works, to trace the evolution of their devilmanship and see how deep the fire runs.

The Sixth Sin, The Artwork

This artwork is a grotesque invocation—an image that doesn’t just represent Faces Of Terror, but embodies it.


The Seventh Sin, Disrelish

There is nothing to dislike in the musical offerings of Faces Of Terror. Each hymn strikes with purpose, and the EP as a whole delivers a sharpened ritual of death metal precision. Thus, we conclude our review of Faces Of Terror. I would like to take this opportunity to express my sincere gratitude for your time in reading this article.
