The Faceless
Biography
The Faceless are a progressive death metal band from Los Angeles affiliated with the underground metal label Sumerian Records. Formed by guitarist Michael Keene and bassist Brandon Giffin, the band also includes vocalist Jeff Ventimiglia (aka Demon Carcass), guitarist Steve Jones, and drummer Lyle Cooper. In 2006 the band made its full-length album debut on Sumerian Records with Akeldama. The album's technical style drew comparisons to death metal trailblazer Chuck Schuldiner and his latter-day work in the band Death. Planetary Duality (2008), the follow-up album on Sumerian, was supported with multiple tours, including treks on the road with Meshuggah and the "Summer Slaughter Tour". ~ Jason Birchmeier, All Music Guide

"OMG, this is.......TRU E METAL! I'm going to delete all my other stations now." What are you doing today to promote TRUE metal? |
||
saw these guys live and they r amazing. met brett batdorf when he was the first drummer for them. bought his axis pedals he used for awhile and they r great
|
||
pretty good for the category they are being put in. Is everything from them this dynamic and well played? Are they consistent?
|
||
f**k tha hype f**k tha trash talking I saw these guys and I headbanged through the whole set! HUGE! .
|
||
these dudes came a long way from playing our high school battle of the bands...
|
||
Your information is wrong, the vocalist's name is Derek Rydquist. Planetary Duality should be up here, it's pretty sick although it sounds just like Spawn of Possession.
|
||
Listen to the fans Pandora...Pl e a s e add Planetary Duality on here...
|
||
Fantastic f**king artist. Everytime I hear them I s**t my pants (jklol) Some of the most technical metal I've ever heard! Pandora, PLEASE ADD PLANETARY DUALITY TO THE SELECTED DISCOGRAPHY! ! ! ! ! ! !
|
||
Must have Planetary Duality on here to emphasize the shift in flavor. It is a much faster, more technical album than Akeldama.
|
||
Yo they are up there with the likes of Necrophagist ! If you like tech Death Metal this is about as good as it gets!
|
||
best band ever!!!!!PHI L IS A P**SY planitary duality sucks. they just turned into another repetitive blast band
|
||
one of the most versatile metal bands ive ever heard.
technical riffs in your face bass constant pummeling of an onslaught of amazing drums insanely clear and deep vocals what the f%^k else would you want from a metal band!? just shut up and listen |
||
Theres a handful of you that say that these guys suck... WTF are you listening to death metal for it you dont like it? These guys blew my GD mind. BRRRRRRRROOO O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O T A A A A A A A L L L L L L L ! ! ! ! ! ! !

||
Very well done, they need to tour out with Necrophagist , that'd be a tour worth the money...
Horizons Of Chaos I: Oracle Of The Onslaught has some sick riffs. |
||
Amazing band. Get Planetary Duality, it will make you piss your pants and bang your head into technical oblivion!!!
|
||
this band sucks c**k everytime ive seen them live ive wanted to fall asleep they suck
|
||
I'm in awe. Everything they do is so good. And they even have singing! But the singing doesn't sound bad or inappropriat e . Their songs are written nearly flawlessly and every member is brilliant. I only wish they had a few more breakdowns. I mean come on, they are Americans. Great band though.

They just PLAIN SUCK!!!!! You obviously have no talent with music whatsoever, and shouldn't be allowed to listen to music ever again. This is what all the "greats" of classical music would be writing if they lived today. |
