The Faceless Comment On Vocalists Departure

The Faceless themselves have addressed the recently announced departure of frontman Derek Rydquist from the group. Speaking via their Facebook band guitarist Michael Keene offered the following:

“So, as some of you may have heard, Derek is no longer in The Faceless. We wish him the best of luck and will always value the time he spent in our band. Our new vocalists name is Geoffrey Ficco and he is truly a beast! If you’ve heard our demo for “The Eidolon Reality” than you’ve already heard his punishing vocals ; ) Surprise!”-Keene

      I’d like to see some melodic vocals from this band. Not some emo-ish Periphery stuff, but some decent and interesting melodies, think Dillinger, think Mike Patton, even think Opeth or Kris Rygg.

      ^^ um, ok…youre a fucking faggot fart vagina milk pussy IDIOT. faceless is perfect just the way they are. they dont need to change anything. personally, I’d like to see you throw yourself right off of the golden gate bridge straight into a GWSharks open jaws you pussy cum bubble douche bag. maybe you would like to hear some meshuggah use clean melodic vocals? maybe morbid angel too? maybe you would like to see animals as leaders hire a vocalist because you cant appreciate AAL for how they have evolved metal like the faceless have. you probably dont even bother listening to and basking in all that is epic being lyle cooper and michael keene. gtf out of here you retarded assholemotherfucker.

    • So, minus the guitar player, I don’t really see the huge deal about this band. They’re not bad, but they’re not great. I expected them to be the second coming of metal with the way everyone talks about them.

      Only afghanistam talks about them like they are the second coming, but I agree with you, they’re alright. Nothing special however.

      american nightmare. what does ‘super triggered’ mean exactly? youre saying lyle cooper sounds super trigger, but I know for a FACT you would never complain about Gene Hoglan or Raymond Harerra. btw, generic or not, I think it’s cute that you call him a “singer”. susan boyle is a freaking singer you tard. I bet youre the type that would call fred durst a “rapper” too. pwned, bitch.

      What “drum triggers” are, courtesy of google: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v4YPtmUGILg
      Often results in that higher pitched ticka-ticka-ticka-tick double bass drum sound heard in such Faceless tracks as: “An Autopsy” “Pestilence” “All Dark Graves” and others. I personally don’t mind it, but it does have a distinct sound that some can find grating.

    • Actually, I was very vocal with my hatred of the triggered drum sound on the last Cattle Decapitation album and they’re one of my favorite bands. I think using triggers is just lazy and it sounds fake. I usually agree with every thing you’ve said on here because you’re down with Bloodbath and Wolves In The Throne Room but this band is overrated. The guitar player is the only part I like. Also, I guess I’ll start referring to singers for bands as grunter, screecher, and growler

      I don’t see how any music appreciator can clown on their drummer. The vocalist isn’t their best aspect but his voice can help the music smear you into the ground at the right moments. Behold … the Arctopus is definitely the bomb pussy, most Dysrhythmia, too. If you wanna hear a pretty nutty but awesome CD check out “Ku Klux Klowns” by Black Engine.

    • I don’t see using triggers as making you a good drummer. Play them side by side with something like Discordance Axis or Nasum and you can tell the difference. I just think it sound better natural. I know Behemoth uses them live and I still love them. Wasn’t trying to say I hate these guys. I listen to them occasionally. I just don’t think they’re the greatest thing to grace metal in the last ten years as people seem to make them out.

      They’re barely 5 years old anyways dude. Triggers or not, their current and older studio Navene drummer are most triumphant. If you’re talking about tone, maybe it’s a constant ace in the kick-drum deck, but he knows his way around the kit like google maps around the globe.

      Oh Afghanistam, I don’t always agree with what you say but your ability to string together profanities is quite impressive. Fucking faggot fart vagina milk pussy idiot. Lol.
