The Faceless is a technical death metal band from Los Angeles who have astonished their live audiences with dizzying guitar work, lightning fast drumming and unmatched brutality. Formed by guitarist Michael Keene and bassist Brandon Giffin, the band quickly found the perfect mix of dedicated musicians to complete the line up.

Drummer Brett Batdorf, having played a brief stint with Himsa and long time drummer of Los Angeles death metal band Tchildres, complimented the group perfectly and was added to the line up soon after. The combination of blistering guitar work, complex and fast-paced rhythms, offset by haunting keyboards and brutal vocals from singer Jeff Ventimiglia, set The Faceless in a class with the metal legends who have come before to change metal forever. The Faceless have developed a large following. Their live performance combined with the online success of 3 songs recorded and produced by guitarist Michael Keene established them as a force to be reckoned with. The band is on the rise to become one of the most well known Technical Death Metal bands.

In the past year The Faceless have been lucky enough to share the stage with such talented acts as: Cephalic Carnage, Vital Remains, Impaled, Through the Eyes of the Dead, Animosity, Ed Gein, The Number 12 Looks Like You, Into The Moat, Reflux, On Broken Wings, From A Second Story Window, Ion Dissonance, Crematorium, Phobia, Light This City, Neuraxis, Job For A Cowboy, Intronaut, Anal Blast, All Shall Perish, Winter Solstice, Radiation 4, The Red Death, Embrace The End, Psyopus, Deadsoil, and Glass Casket.

The Faceless are technical, end of. I'm sorry but if you can't see that you're retarded. Also if you ask me, their technical side has always outweighed their deathcore side, so as far as I'm concerned they're technical death metal.

Planetary Duality blows my mind away when I listen to it and I believe it to be very technical, amazing musicianship.

I'm just going to say that The Faceless IS in fact under the category of tech death. If you categorize Decrepit Birth, Origin, Anata etc... then why exclude The Faceless? Because they're on Sumerian?

The faceless is a technical band in my opinion and they compose their musical very skill fully. PD was an amazing album musically and lyrically. I personally appreciated the great poetic lyrics they offer a break from the gore shit that every other band is just pumping out in the genre....You're right lol they're not mindbending. They're mindblowing.

What I'm implying is that The Faceless isn't really that mindbending as they could be. PD is still a fun album though.

so if i can play every *tech death band*'s riffs with ease that means they aren't so technical? i agree, they aren't that technical but you could say what you're implying with any band u know what im gettin at? @michaeletron just because someone has a different opinion doesn't mean they're trollin, get ur shit right doofus

By the way, it's not like I'm saying the less technical=the suckier. I listen to Bolt Thrower, for fucks sakes.

"your trolling is futile." I'm not trolling. "you're pretty fucking retarded if you don't think the faceless are technical. " I'm a guitar player myself, and I just never found The Faceless to be difficult to play. Just standard tech riff patterns with standard lead patterns everywhere.

vasectomy: your trolling is futile. however, the fuck? you're pretty fucking retarded if you don't think the faceless are technical. there's a difference between technical coherency and being technical
