The Faceless have booked a “Planetary Duality” 10th anniversary tour with Rings Of Saturn, The Last Ten Seconds Of Life, Vale Of Pnath, and Interloper.
The Faceless will release their new album "In Becoming A Ghost" on December 1, and the first single "Digging The Grave" is now available to stream
At the last Summer Slaughter Tour date, I got to speak to the Faceless to find out about their new album and plans for the future.
The dates and venues have officially been confirmed for the 2017 Summer Slaughter Tour. That trek will feature Black Dahlia Murder (performing “Nocturnal” in full for its 10th anniversary), Dying Fetus, The Faceless, Oceano, Slaughter To Prevail, Origin, Rings Of Saturn, Betraying The Martyrs, and Lorna Shore.
On the heels of The Black Dahlia Murder's announcement to play their Nocturnal album on this year's Summer Slaughter Tour, I wanted to shed light on this pinnacle album for the band..
Another person walks out the revolving door that is The Michael Keene Project aka The Faceless. Evan Brewer has left the band; you can read his statement below
Wes Hauch (guitarist for The Faceless) has announce he's joined Glass Casket (featuring Dustie and Blake from BTBAM) and they're working on new music. Read the announcement below
Between the Buried and Me released Future Sequence, the sequel to Hypersleep Dialgoues, last year and have now gotten around to performing the album front to back. Similar to how they did with Colors and Hypersleep Dialgoues
The Safety Fire opened the show, playing songs from their recent release, Mouth of Swords and their debut, Grind the Ocean. This was their 2nd time in the USA, the first being their tour with Protest The Hero. The band is good but whoever was running their sound made it unbearable for me to watch more than 15 mins of their set.
If you’ve been keeping up with The Contortionist lately, you’ll notice they have a new vocalist. Michael Lessard of Last Chance to Reason is doing double-duty as frontman for both bands (he’s going into the studio with The Contortionist around Spring). They only had time for 4-5 songs, playing only material from Intrinsic. Here’s hoping they do a headliner soon.
The Michael Keene Project- I mean, The Faceless took the stage next and Evan Brewer was noticeably missing from the lineup. Their manager, or whoever ran sound for them did a GREAT job. The vocals were actually higher in the mix and weren’t buried under the guitars. Lots of circle/mosh pits took place during their set.
After a brief audio introduction played over the PA, the legendary BTBAM took the stage. The talking between songs was kept to a minimum, similar to their Colors DVD. I’m really hoping they film this tour since they’re playing Future Sequence in it’s entirety. In typical BTBAM fashion, they only played one song for their encore; White Walls. The whole band was on point and tight. Not once did I see Blake count off to start a song. Don’t miss this tour when it comes to your town!
