However, sheer force and technical savagery of “Prison Born”, “The Ancient Ceremony”, “Xeno Christ”,and even the melodic/Sci-fi circus throes of “Legion of the Serpent” with their slight injections of Sci Fi synths and oppressive complexity far outweigh those moments making for a top notch album from a fast rising young band with a very bright future.Album Review: Faetooth - "Remnants of the Vessel" However, I have a couple of minor gripes again, the album hovers around thirty minutes, and I’ll admit the clean crooning of guitarist Michael Keene (who is also responsible for and excellent production job) that surface on a couple of tracks (“Coldly Calculated Design”, “Sons of Belial”, “Planetary Duality II : A Prophecies Fruition”) are pretty forced and unnecessary, almost derailing otherwise brilliant performances and song writing.
