THE FACELESS Xenochrist NEW SONG at Summer Slaughter 08 on Metal Injection TV

[Gabysoficial]

ZZZZZZZZZZEEEEEEENOOOOCHRIIIII­ST

[MattDeclaresWar]

their new vocalist has almost the same voice like derek. he's great.

[PanasonicTooth]

Fucking sucks they lost this singer he is an absolute beast!!!

[XCallXMeXmatt]

When Michael Keene uses his pinky you know shit is real.

[DrEviscerator666]

Derek Demon Carcass Rydquist you will be missed and never forgotten!

[MrCeebez]

@DrEviscerator666 Any clue to why he left? I just found out cuz the guy in the new demo Eidolon Reality is their new singer.

[DeimosFacility]

@DrEviscerator666 What happened to him?



[ItsAlxDee]

@DeimosFacility he left the band

[FagsLoveCountrymusic]

Dat boy got the devil in 'im

[laxedskater009]

@FagsLoveCountrymusic Well lets hope he doesn't get an exorcism anytime soon :)

[BiorythmicDrifter]

I haven't seen or heard a bad live performance by these guys. Truly fucking great shit.

[ziggmyster55]

This live version is tweaked a bit. Is the vid edited or do they change it up live?

[Rottigator]

"Thank you."

[whatacunningstunt]

Supporting Emmure? Poor bastards - Emmure can only ever hope to be anywhere near as good as The Faceless which will never happen anyway (yes, I do know they belong to two completely different subgenres of metal, but it doesn't stop Emmure being shit)

[MarkuzLee]

@whatacunningstunt Even though I totally agree with you, man, I still think Emmure is making much more money than The Faceless just because they are scene show-offs to the little kids.

[G27dude]

@whatacunningstunt I really don't even think Emmure tries to be good. So they're really not hoping for much.

[websterx9]

4:46 - 4:49 wooooooooooooooooo wooooooooooooooooo!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

THEN THE CROWD IS LIKE ooh .. its... its not finished yet..:$

[scheissdrek]

Wouldn't that be a trip of we got Halford or King Diamond to sing for The Faceless

[MackanBengtsson]

Sounds very Black Metal at 0:40 :) I like it!

[SuperXenomorph]

Got to say they all are very compitent musicianns especially the guitarist thats why I dont get the whole growling like a dog thing, its like you all practice for years to get tight as a band and then invite someone from the bus stop to make noises all over the track , sorry too old for this ,maybe Im missing the trick I will stick to Dio.

[vatscove]

@SuperXenomorph haha, i can't tell you how i agree enough to this, i dislike the "singing" even tho the lyrics are amazing, the guitarists and the drummer are the only reasons why i listen to bands like this

[TopshelfXPT700]

@SuperXenomorph Cuz alot of us who listen to metal now days love the screaming vocals

[MattKondrath]

@SuperXenomorph because this kind of music is too heavy to have someone normally singing in it. it just wouldnt sound right if Dio sung in a band that played like this. Which is why it has changed itself into the genre it is now. Screaming just fits perfectly into it.

[JraiProductionsFilm]

Can't understand !!!!! ....



[entrailsgalore]

@alih92 He probably borrowed their bass drum.

[dlmyers17]

Such a good live band.

[Larrbearandnatesheep]

this songs called... ZENOCHRIST.

[frehlicj]

@dandymcfishery yea! No kidding! Im used to the album lyrics as well:P

[redwinters]

that black guy is wearing a tshirt with a black guy on it.

[moto557Si]

@redwinters You just blew my mind man.

[auroravegas]

@alih92 have you heard the buzz were spreading! Check out Aurora (A New Order for an Ancient World) or (Imprisoned in Glass). Legit metal band from Las Vegas, guarantee youll enjoy it!

[DandyMcfishery]

Its weird hering this when im so used to the original lyrics, wish i knew what he was saying

[THEZYGOMADISPOSAL]

wow it was been a while i hear the faceless! think ill giveplanetary duality another turn in a few moments :)

[korppibragi]

Is michael's pinkie fucked up or is he so good that he don't need it? lol.

By the way, Imma agree with xmaggotx, sound out uf tune at the beggining

[TalonWolf]

That was surprisingly good sound quality :o

[Andrewvv1]

Someone just needds to cut off Michael Keene's Pinkie. XD

[xmaggotx1]

"....Hope You Dig It This Sonq Is Called.. XENOCHRIST!" Lmao That Scared Me He Was With An Ordinary Voice and Out Of Nowhere He Fukinq Snaped XD

[jesusantispray]

@xmaggotx1 you ever been to a metal show :S thats pretty damn standard.  Scares me your comment is getting so many likes

[mmnjk99]

i think someone is out of tune in the version anyone agree?

[mmnjk99]

@15racedemon are you being sarcastic?

[phadedlife]

a lot of people who genuinely appreciate music go to these shows. a lot of people just stand in awe of the insane playing. you don't need to jump around like a special ed student to enjoy good music.

[tysono23]

I Thought Micheal Keene Didnt use his pinky?

[PitsofUtumno]

Saw them live at the opera house last wednesday and they were toooo sick!

[Bitchflakes666]

what ibanez is that ?

[DarknessSpawned]

Fuckin rights! Saw this band live in Edmonton during Summer Slaughter Tour, they fuckin ruled! Hope they come back soon!

[INCridley103]

their so amazing what was up with the silent audience?

[sasjenkyn]

@INCridley103 properly cause they were all crappy scene kids, look at the bass drum of lyle it says "immure" on it.... why is a greta band like this playing with a shit band like immure. fucking deathcore crap

[z0mgzt0m]

lol hes all relaxed giving peeps info on the band then hes like k this song is caled XENOCHRISSSSTTTTT"!!!!!

[whitewalls1222]

is mike wearing a tye-dye? hippie-deathmetal!! lol

[futilaty07]

most metal action that drum kit is gonna get all night

[ryankuisti]

ha i like the lyrics on this one

[seetherfeast777]

god they have fucking great tone live

[MaellaAbbeyFL]

Easily my favorite song from Planetary Duality.

[Behemoth994]

only The Faceless can b so technical yet melodic and not sound like shit

[Y0UfuckingSHEEP]

cool neurosis shirt

[xXTheNuFreakXx]

IN-FUCKING-CREDIBLE that a technical death band can sound this amazing live! o_o I'm seeing them next week. :D

[TheBrutalocalypse]

@RastaPutin It's Ice Cube lol

[rodsMetallicAforlife]

this is the song that im going to ear wen the apocalypse comes :P

[RastaPutin]

whos the black guy with t afro in the shirt of the guitar player?

[TheBlackDahlia815]

just saw them tonight at summer slaughter!!!!! they were bad ass, but only played like a couple of songs cus Michael Keene's gear was fucking up and took up alot of their stage time. decapitated was the shit !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[thygodofrock190]

pitty tho that there drummers playing ona bass drum that says EMMURE

[thychaos]

@thygodofrock190 ugh, yeah. tainted by a no-talent breakdown-band. fuck emmure.

[FuckTechno66]

i hate when they cover the mic!

[Matreyu42]

Perfectly Executed Solo!

[dirtpipedan]

THIS BAND NEEDS A DVD

[birdo123456]

@dirtpipedan Fuk ya they do haha

[Arthemesic]

@dirtpipedan

I seriously agree !

[BENABONZO]

@dirtpipedan You know what these guys need? TO MAKE A FUCKING MUSIC VIDEO.

[MarkuzLee]

@dirtpipedan I would love a studio footage. I literally have multiple orgasms when I watch a band recording in a studio.

[gutterdweller]

@dirtpipedan The irony of that comment is that their other guitarist, Steve Jones, went on tour with Animals as Leaders so that he could tape their shows :p. And to add to that their new bassist, Evan Brewer went on the same tour to promote his solo project

[tyofigel]

Fucking awesome!!!

[imoshwithwillywonka]

Definitely one of my favorite bands. Michael Keene's a musical fucking genious. Not to menion this sounds almost exactly the same way it does on the album. Fucking brilliant.

[antoniomartinez9898]

@voodoochild1029 finnally some one who agrees dimebag is overated

[juicyness94]

damn i love his fucking vocals

[Sojk65a]

Anyone else noticed how this version is different from the album version?

[dopert2]

the bass should be much louder.

and the voice a bit quiter

[Judoking96]

Michael Keene is a slap in the face to every close minded fuck that thinks death metal guitar is just mindless souless garbage.

[Igot6bigstrings]

2:45 he does like a zombie head bang



[regisethisgoals]

@Igot6bigstrings yes I agree they aren't pioneers but they are good enough to play at slaughter I saw them twice

[x3r3dbu11x3]

Pioneers of death metal.

[Igot6bigstrings]

@x3r3dbu11x3 wow they arent pioneers of anything. first off they are new and second off they didnt start anything new to be a pioneers. all they did was grab the dahlia fans and the bullets for my valentine fans. they shouldnt even be going to summer slaughter. more of a mayhem band, just another band trying to be obscura.

[x3r3dbu11x3]

@Igot6bigstrings You may be right aout the oioneers thing, but these guys sure do destroy live. Can you mmake anything better?

[voodoochild1029]

@Igot6bigstrings They aren't pioneers but they were here before obscura.... u can't blame the faceless if a bunch of posers like them...

[Nocturnalseve]

@Igot6bigstrings you should douche more often

[kei2kurama]

they are so good why cant they but on a better show? just standing there is kinda lame even the lead ginger stays in one spot

[unoffended]

@kei2kurama First its not like there on a huge stage in this video, Second you do kinda need to focus when your playing music this fucking technical, Third they were all headbanging to some degree at least.

[kei2kurama]

@unoffended Man I seen way more technical bands Throw down, and ont many size astages too, the smaller the stage the better,because the band is more closer to the fans and can prove they can move people. Im not hating on them like I said, I just think it could be better.

[progrockrulz]

idk don't wanna get hate comments for this but its kinda like death or i guess it reminds me of death

[23igna]

Amazing band, genius musicians. That's really complex music. I love the growls

[ChuckisGOD1]

akeldama was a great album just some parts pissed me off and sure the same with alot of other people

[AILDvsABRlol]

Akeldama's drummer sounded kinda weird imo. That's the only downside

[BringerOfTruth123]

and to anyone who says the faceless are the most technical band in the world. you're full of shit. think about all the slow simple breakdowns and chugging. not saying their stuff is easy but it's not as technical as everyone makes it out to be.

[punkgothrocker]

@BringerOfTruth123 that is true, dude.

[BringerOfTruth123]

@punkgothrocker which comment are you agreeing with? the one about the faceless or the black dahlia murder?

[smcnic10]

Mike Keene is the the next Dimebag Darrell. He is a fucking guitar god!

[voodoochild1029]

@smcnic10 dimebag wasn't that good... he's overrated

[dontlaughatmyface]

Michael doesnt use his pinky at all but he still fucking rapes! Holy shit, imagine if he used it, it would end the world, thats probably why he doesnt use it.

[jugglingspace]

yo twister pa 1 stop hating just listen and appreciate they are both great bands

[darkstar805]

well theres a reason they call it technical death metal..

"BDM easier to listen to"? Ya just because their shit isnt as complex. and some minds just cant handle it lol you can hear alot of jazz influence on michael keenes solos too, which who the fuck can do that as good as him, in a crazy tech. metal band?!?

[chickenONtheFloor999]

mike keene is influenced strongly by frederik thordendal of meshuggah in his leads, and frederik is highly influenced by jazz fusionist allan holdsworth. thats where the jazz comes from, i love it too!!

[darkstar805]

the black dahlia murder sucks BALLZ compared to this band!! Especially their weak ass vocals and guitar.. their like a 7 and the faceless is a 10

[Twisterpa1]

whoa BDM weak VOCAL AND GUITAR dude seriously .

re think that i would rather listen to bdm then the faceless

although i love the faceless there too technical at times. Bdm is way easier to listen to as well.

[deathmetalinsanity54]

woah brosef thats a little too far. both of them fucking rule, but bdm is definitely not the same style as the faceless. personally i like bdm a shit ton more because it doesn't matter how goddamn fast the guitarist can play, its about style. and trevor strnad's vocals are badass on unhallowed but yeah they do go downhill a bit. its still crazy how he can scream like that though.

[BringerOfTruth123]

@deathmetalinsanity54 yeah fuck these haters. bdm still owns and unhallowed is their best.

[darkstar805]

michael keene is vagina busting lol ..my fave metal band!!!

[NoiseMaker231]

Wow. Derek rapes. Michael frickin triple rapes. Lyle is insane. The Faceless are metal geniuses

[Igot6bigstrings]

@NoiseMaker231 i see no genius in it. t their song structure isnt that good. they are good musicains though and ill give them that

[gotmilk742]

@NoiseMaker231 i think you forgot about the other two Steve and Griffin

[Tyme2Die]

lol the crowd.

[plistiff]

man i saw these guys 3 or 4 years ago and hated them because they were playing that jfac fake death metal stuff, but they've changed a lot, really good song! definately giving them a second chance.

[CorpseeDoodleDandy]

Great song, great guitar XD

[DOOMSDAYCHANNEL]

Even though many people associate them with The Black Dahlia Murder, but these guys are much better than TBDM by a long shot!

[immolationmetraton]

I'm a huge TBDM fan and this is the first time I hear someone saying The Faceless are associated with TBDM.. you must be out of your fucking mind to make such a mistake. Two awesome bands that are very much different.. you must be either stupid or not knowing your metal to say something like that. I'm talking generally, you don't have to be offended by my comment

[M4st3rB4ss3r]

You didn't mean to offend him but you just called him stupid and told him that he was out of his mind...

The Black Dahlia Murder and The Faceless are pretty similar I'd say. The Faceless are a lot more progressive and way more technically advanced.

your a fucking moron, but you don't have to be offended...

[BSnyd84]

Its 2 different types of metal man...you cant say 1 is better than the other. Opinions differ through genre. At least you arent like most assholes that say they blow, though.

[SuperBobsuruncle]

whos drumming in this? not lyle?

[DOOMSDAYCHANNEL]

Yes it is.

[deestracto]

@SuperBobsuruncle its the lylemang

[bowiekniv]

badass song! 19999th viewer lol :D

[Nofucksgiven]

LOOOL on the bass drum, it's written Emmure this whole band is a breakdown haha.

But The Faceless is one of my favorite band of all time ! And certainly my favorite ''metal'' band.. I saw them live yesterday (nov 26) and it was pretty insane.. They started with Akeldama and the sound was perfect haha

Nice vid btw

[skatelaresistance]

god bless them.. rythem guitarist is wearing an ice cube shirt and michael is wearing tyedye. god i love them.

[GishEagle]

but, the vocalist is wearing a neurosis shirt, haha.

w\e, regardless, who cares, they are fucking boss!

[BigT4313]

He doing exhales or inhales?

[donvader69]

im pretty sure theyre exhales

[xXDanielDrummerXx]

thats right.

[Apexxofdoom]

they`re exhales. if you listen carefully, you can hear hm taking breath between the vocal patterns. also the sound is not inhale-ish.

[guitarhero323]

michael keene is like the herman lee of death metal.....exept hes not fake! :]

.....and hes got that long ass hair

[gorlockthegreat]

their drummer is one of the fastest ive ever heard

[soloton]

perfect live act, LOVE THEM SO MUCH !!!!

[EfdUpPrdctnz]

not trying to be racist but i didnt know there was a black person in the faceless. we learn something new everyday lol.

[dirtypirate666]

michael keene doesn't use his pinky. what a noob.

[skatelaresistance]

imagine how fucking insane he would be if he did use his pinky!!!! jesus it makes me mad almost xD

[dirtypirate666]

yeah, its crazy how he plays so cleanly with such sloppy technique

[Akermin]

Jesus, watch his fingers at 0:30

[ridethelightning64]

someone get the vocalist a wig haha

this has got to be my favourite song of this album. sick vid.

[darkjedi1993]

When I saw them Steve was using a Line 6 head, I couldn't tell what Mike was using, but they both sounded fucking amazing. Flawless playing, especially on Mike's part, all of his leads and solos were fucking PERFECT!

[darkjedi1993]

I saw The Faceless last night at the Expo Five, in Louisville, with 3 Inches of Blood, Between the Buried and Me, and In Flames. They were flawless! Much better than in this video...it's fucking amazing, I moshed all the way through that fucking show, and I'm still fucking sore! They were the best fucking band there, and the whole reason I went!

[Koolkeithmathew]

I don't how people bash Akeldama. That album was fucking brilliant. Planetary Duality was nothing short of Amazing.

The Faceless are bad-fuckin-ass,

[naterd00d]

Akeldama was a better album IMHO

[atavismdream]

I agree. The first part of the title track to Planetary Duality is cool though.

[guitaraddict359]

akeldama , some riffs and vocals sounded too much like generic / metalcore

[dooki123]

@Koolkeithmathew dude, i know what u mean about Akeldama! everyone overlooks it. i'm well pissed off, cuz planetary duality is on itunes, but Akeldama isn't

[Draitube]

@Koolkeithmathew i liked akeldama except for the song akeldama...

[jihadMuffin]

@Koolkeithmathew there's not a single bad song by them.

[warheart454]

@Koolkeithmathew akeldama my favortie too many sick songs

[travillion7]

My favorite song off the album. I love the slow bridge part. Horns!

[Atern0x]

Are those guys using Vetta Heads?

[Metalshred95]

yeah vetta ll

[Atern0x]

Sure? At Summer Breeze this year those Heads didn't really look like Vetta II's (I own one myself) but like a Vetta I. o.O

Might be mistaken though.

[Queuex]

Pestilence was a kick ass song.

[ASPftw]

now what i dont understand is how the crowd would just sit there and stand still with such an awsome band playing?

[wickedjester]

Thats because this show was in New Jersey. Kids from New Jersey don't know how to comprehend real metal and just fling their arms and shit around to open palm mutes over, and over, and over, and over, and over again.

[Speakinnumbers]

i love this band and the song is amazing but the double drum in this vid just sounds awful

[jerkass411]

its the mix, the bass is waaaay too loud and its distorting, annnd everything is probaly compressed to fuck so...

[flippervernon]

their using triggers, making it impossible to accent a double bass beats :(

[jerkass411]

ok what the fuck are you talking about? theres no accenting with bass drums almost EVER, especially this band, or any band for that matter. secondly BakonmanSC if you dont know the answer to this question then ya haha. They are borrowing the drums to save setup time because its a big stage and setup/tear down time would be retarded for that band.

[flippervernon]

if all you listen to is shitty metalcore woth triggers ont he bass drum then of course youve probably never heard an accented beat in your life. listen to nile you noob and see how diffent beats are made by accenting the drums.

[jerkass411]

hahahaha alright man, your saying NILE has accented bass drum patterns, please show me in what song that there are accents.

[jerkass411]

I'm curious to see what bands you listen to. See I bet you only listened to their first CD, which is boring as fuck, but This one "Planetary Duality" is really good and ORIGINAL!! Probably a lot more less straight forward then Nile, cuz lets face it, George is good, but emotionless with his playing at this point in his career.

[flippervernon]

i listen to planetary duality more than the first album.

[jerkass411]

they still arenm't metalcore

[flippervernon]

yes, the first album is deathcore and somewhat metalcore.

[jerkass411]

first album was shit compared to this one, mainly because the drums WERE boring and basic, but this album is a whole different story man.

[flippervernon]

yes, i like the new album alot more, but the drumming in the faceless in general is just pretty standard death metal, double bass, fills, ect bla bla. i dont care that much.

[jerkass411]

well to be honest, its alittle bit more creative then say Hate Eternal or Nile, they're the pioneers, but the way they arrange the songs is definitely alot more out there then the typical death metal bands around, which is why I like them as much as I do.

[bigbadbang18]

N-no, their first album was death metal.

[jerkass411]

oh and why do you seem to think these guys are metalcore? do they sound like Killswitch or Atreyu?

[flippervernon]

no they dont sound like killswitch or atreyu, they sound like the faceless. but their drumming isnt very original at all, like i said they use triggers you fucking idiot, that means that every kick of the bass sounds exactly the same and you cant hit harder to make different beats, it all just sounds like the same kick just recycled over and over again.

[jerkass411]

and you think Nile's drumming is original, man George Kollias uses triggers for everything! I know what triggers are, nice though man. My point is that A) they are NOT metalcore, because metalcore is music like said bands mentioned in the comment before and etc etc, The Faceless are not metalcore man. Its probably some sort of "core". and B) thats the point of triggers, you know when you hit the bass drum once, then 16 times, its the same what, OMG SOUND!!!! Thats what they're going for.

[flippervernon]

and thats the sound it makes. and thats what i said it was, so stop flaming like a reatard.

[BakonmanSC]

at 4:01 you can see their double bass dum has an emmure logo on it. Are they just fans or borrow there drums? eh hard to tell

I'm guessing they just borrowed. If the back room doesn't have room to pull out a full drumset, it prolly isn't worth spending a half an hour trying to set it up right w
