@tokenfrenchman he's right. the execution is great, but the musical content consists of atonal tech riffing with a few exceptions, which is the reason this never gets very far beyond kinda tight, but i guess that's just like... my opinion man.
@metalassdave The fundamental fallacy which underpins your comment is that you imply that the basis of all music is harmony, when in reality it is rhythm. Atonality is fine by my book as long as it's done with a sense of purpouse- as it clearly is in this case. The Faceless epitomise the current (artistically stagnant) paradigm of ultra polished, sterile death metal, that while competent, doesn't have the same complexity and depth as the music of Abhorrent.
@tokenfrenchman i didn't mean to imply that one is more important than the other, rather that this composition seems to fundamentally lack harmonic structure. don't get me wrong, i enjoy chaotic riffing, but i feel like the faceless do a lot more with their music than merely throw together a myriad of technical riffs. they are overproduced, yes, but they opt to maintain mainstream appeal, all the while taking an at least slightly creative approach to composition, which is meritorious in itself.
@tokenfrenchman i also don't want to give the impression that i feel as though my opinion somehow transcends yours in profundity or logic. it doesn't. i just want to clarify my thoughts. if this discussion somehow amounts to ad homonym, i'm sure at that point we can just agree to disagree.
@metalassdave I think we may have to. Although I personally fail to see how a bunch of dumb staccato riffs and wanky, gratuitous solos topped off with some nonsense about aliens surpasses the complex interweaving of rhythms, mature lyrical content and the contrast of tonal and atonal melodies (yes, there are a few tonal ideas present here) that Abhorrent bring to the table.
@metalassdave Just to clarify: I disagree strongly with your opinion but have no grype with you personally. In fact I'm pleased this discussion has not degenerated into name calling as it so often does on youtube. :)
i highly recommend getting rid of the typewriter and using real bass drums. those fucking triggers make my brain bleed. Everything else is top notch though, looking forward to a full length from you guys.
Lyle, I know you're busy bro, but load more stuff rehearsing and whatnot, I found this video like 7 months ago and the cover you guys made of defeated sanity, and i just cant stop watching the video its fucking sick how you and friday play, so do us fans of this video a favor and upload more stuff...btw I am addicted to the faceless
@Ehb42021 LMAO I didn't say anything bad about the faceless so your the idiot ahah and like i said sucks mainstream fags like you make me want to vomit
My brother might be the vocalist. If you think it's bullshit, my brother knows the people in Abhorrent and we live in Austin so ya, not far away from San Antonio.
UUuh just 4.5/5 stars now :D Some do not like you guys ;) This stuff is 5 stars. It is a teenage cellar band and sounds like a brutal experienced daddy of death metal
The Faceless may be more technical than Morbid Angel, but I don't know about heavier. It's kind of dumb to compare them, because they are two completely different bands. Both The Faceless and Morbid Angel are good bands.How did Morbid Angel come into disscussion on this video anyways? This video is not related to Morbid Angel at all.
lmao. How can you even try and compare the two because they aren't even similar. And how can you mock Morbid Angel.. MA is the first death metal band to get signed to a major label therefore helping to bring death metal into popularity. Pete Sandoval is also one of the original guys to do blast beats and is pretty fckin good at what he does. The Faceless is insanely awesome also soo just respect them both..
An honor? It'd be an honor to play for Slayer or Morbid Angel or have Eric Rutan ask for you by name...The Faceless are just another extreme metal band
Yeah, I got it when it came out, even the first record only has traces of deathcore... The Faceless shouldn't even be categorized as deathcore. They're far beyond that.
deathcore? wheres the core element in Planetary Duality? Un-original? I found the Jazz infused leads of Planetary to be quite refreshing compared to a lot of other straight forward death acts I know, well besides Obscura.
This sounds better than anything The Faceless has ever done, I hate when well known bands steal amazing up and coming drummers before they can make an album where they have COMPLETE control.
who wouldnt want the guys in the faceless to have complete control?!?!? thats how there shit is so amazing, the guitar player writes the drums, its awesome
This song alone is fucking brilliant, and a lot better than much of the mediocre shit that gets passed around as "death metal" these days. Keep it up!
And once again i have this strange desire to live in texas... lol Fucking sick as usual Marlon. How did i not see this before?? keep up the good work dudes \m/
