5.0 out of 5 stars An epic smooshing for the ages, May 3, 2008

By	John Dudek "Big John" (Michigan, United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best songwriting I have ever heard in this genre, October 8, 2008

By	Joel Botet "Joelsifer" (Sunshine State) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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!

5.0 out of 5 stars a big leap for modern deathcore, April 7, 2008

By	skeith "hellstorm" (houston, tx usa) - See all my reviews

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!!!
