The Faceless Megathread ("Autotheism" available 08.14.12) - Page 13

BurialWithin · 04-14-2009, 08:56 AM

One of my favorite bands!! I saw them a couple of fridays ago with Obscura, Neuraxis, and Cannibal Corpse!! THE FACELESS HAVE THE BEST LIVE SOUND I'VE EVER HEARD FROM ANY BAND PERIOD. Clear and just perfect, no mistakes, amazing tone, drummer was on target 100%. Great band, great guitar players, love them!!

Triple7 · 04-14-2009, 09:32 AM

Definitely one of my favorite bands. They have an amazing live show, they killed it opening for Cynic and Meshuggah. Some of my favorite songs are, Pestilence, Xenochrist, An Autopsy, Planetary Duality Pt1., and Sons Of Belial.

MikeH · 04-14-2009, 09:51 AM

I can't really say that there's a song from them that I've never liked.

jimmyshred · 04-14-2009, 09:58 AM

Amazing band,
Studio they sound amazing and I'm yet to see them live but their pro- shoot videos look really good as well.
Definitely worth listening to.

thinkpad20 · 04-14-2009, 11:35 AM

I saw them with Cynic and Meshuggah. Tight band, definitely musically proficient but they don't seem to be doing anything original... to me they sounded mostly like a mix of, well, Cynic and Meshuggah

So yeah very talented musicians but the music sounds rather half-baked to me. But I guess that style is really popular right now so they're getting a lot of exposure... eh. At least they aren't so breakdown-focused now...

cyril v · 04-14-2009, 02:15 PM

Favorite song...
Planetary Duality II: A Prophecy's Fruition

wtf? they sound nothing like meshuggah and i'd have to say by a long stretch of the imagination they might vaguely sound like cynic. I'd say they're closer to obscura/within the ruins.

Saw them at the Filmore with cynic and meshuggah., I'd have to say their mix was probably the clearest out of all the bands and they were definitely tight as hell.

Yes.

I do.

I'm lol'ing at some of the stuff in this thread. Not whether they are liked or not, I can't really say anything about that (although I don't like them much).

But please, best live sound from a metal band ever?

When I saw Cynic and Meshuggah their sound was good, but nothing really special or in-your-face, although it had improved since the first time I saw them when they played on the very first summer slaughter tour.

They opened with an instrumental that was pretty cool. Everything else was very generic IMO.

windu · 04-14-2009, 04:35 PM

the faceless wreck! love the groove in planetary duality pt1 and pt2

the whole new album is badass. and so is the frist. i dont see them sounding like anyone else personally

they have there own sound. and there drumming is amazing

auxioluck · 04-14-2009, 04:48 PM

Awesome band; been a fan since Akeldama first came out.

Only tighter act I've seen in the last few years is Decrepit Birth.

Looneygah1 · 06-14-2009, 08:41 PM

I think his solo tone is so beautiful. Totally outstanding guitarist!
I would also love to get ahold of his guitar for a day or so =)

Any thoughts?

Bleak · 06-14-2009, 10:24 PM

Wow, I'd like to hear a solo album from him!

Dylan S · 06-14-2009, 10:25 PM

I think he's fantastic but it annoys me that he hardly ever uses his pinky.

Yeah but OMG he is only using a pod pro i think.
And his washburn is amazing! I dig the color! lol
But yes incredible guitar player by far more creative than muhammad from necrophagist

Variant · 06-14-2009, 10:29 PM

I talked with him a good bit before The Faceless / Cynic / Meshuggah show. He's an amazingly amiable, as well as being really into his guitars and gear.

powergroover · 06-14-2009, 10:31 PM

Rick · 06-14-2009, 11:01 PM

Yes.

/thread.

cyril v · 06-14-2009, 11:01 PM

amazing tone considering he uses the EMG's which tons of people dog so much and he uses the pod which people claim sounds so stale. lol

he's awesome and hopefully when these guys are done touring they'll put out another disc soon. btw, that guitar he uses will be available on the 22nd, completely sweet and makes me wish i could find one of these to test out.

Isn't that amazing

I'm beginning to think that people who dog EMGs and PODs can't dial in a good tone at all.

Awesome playing.

Rick · 06-14-2009, 11:16 PM

Especially considering he uses Vettas live.

Looneygah1 · 06-14-2009, 11:19 PM

Yeah i figured it would sound crappy but hell he sure pulled it off! he is by far one of my fav guitar players! so i though he needed a thread lol

5 out of 5!!

mikernaut · 06-14-2009, 11:20 PM

Well godly is going abit far but he does have great tone and melodic phrasing. Keene and Per from Scar Symmetry are my current favs when it comes to solos.

and are they actually releasing a Washburn "Keene green" guitar? Thats pretty cool I love the Parker stainless steel frets and fretboards so it might be worth giving one a try.
