Adrian Garza Sumerian Records’ The Faceless have premiered a new music video to “Deconsecrate” earlier today. The track comes off of the band’s 2012 release, Autotheism. The song clocks in at over six minutes, but luckily the death metal group drops in a healthy amount of enough intricate dynamics throughout the songs paired with visuals to follow an interesting story to keep the audience attentive.
Follow the jump for a stream of “Deconsecrate”.

No Comments » December 9th, 2012 Jordan Munson Rather than counting down the days until we can celebrate Christmas, this year we’re bringing you a series of metal posts will be celebrating the countdown until we don’t have to be inundated with Christmas music and decorations everywhere. To coincide with this countdown we’ll be posting our top 25 metal (and metal-ish) albums of 2012. 25 days of hell, 25 rad metal albums to make up for it.

“It’s not you, it’s me.” That’s how I picture a conversation with The Faceless and their fans going in regards to their new album, Autotheism. Saying that the latest effort from The Faceless expands on their previous formula (if you could say they had one) would be an enormous understatement. Beginning with Akeldama in 2006 and then Planetary Duality in 2008, it’s been pretty clear from the beginning that The Faceless won’t be content resting on their laurels – something that is the most apparent on Autotheism…

February 28th, 2012 Jordan Munson Tosin Abasi plays guitar, and plays it really, really well. What has he played guitar in, you ask? Well, his first moderately successful project was a little old band called Reflux. Most people probably know him best for his Animals As Leaders work. Now he’s got another project for us music connoisseurs (and fanboys) to sink our teeth into called T.R.A.M. featuring himself, Javier Reyes (also of Animals As Leaders), Adrian Terrazas (of The Mars Volta), and Eric Moore (of Suicidal Tendencies). This new project, aptly named as an acronym of the members’ last names, is a bit of a …

Guitarist Michael Keene received 16 stitches in his right hand due to a pretty nasty fall over a table. He was holding a glass in his hand when it broke, due to the fall, and cut his hand open. Intense.
If you need some more proof, past the jump is a picture of Keene with his bandaged hand.
