Michael Keene, guitarist for The Faceless, has seemingly healed from ripping his hand apart a few weeks back after he tripped over a table whilst holding a drinking glass. How do we know this? Work has resumed on The Faceless’ next album, which should be out early next year. How hard are you stroking that Read More
So, yeah, this band that rules called The Faceless — I’m not sure what they’re up to. I’m not sure if they’re trying to gauge interest, or whether they’re teasing something that’s already well in the works, but The Faceless took to Facebook this week with a simple question. “Do you guys want to see Read More
Oh, that’s right baby. Look What I Did frontman Barry Donegan has teamed up with The Faceless’ bassist Evan Brewer and Animals As Leaders drummer Navene Koperweis in a project they’re calling Climaxes. I actually liked some of what Look What I Did uh…did. They are not the worst band ever. They’re just not the Read More
This is strange. The other day, on the Sumerian Records Facebook page, a defensive rant was posted that I have to assume came from label head Ash Avildsen.

Sumerian Records teased all summer that Born of Osiris would be headlining a U.S. tour, and now, it seems we finally have confirmation. “We are headlining the US this Nov/Dec!,” the band says in an online update. “Going to hit some cities we haven’t played yet all year!

Keene received 16 stitches to his right hand after he tripped over a table whilst holding a drinking glass last week. I guess when he fell, the glass shattered and the sliced his Read More
Stop the clock, people! Bewilderbiest, a name I thought was kind of if not totally awesome, have gone and dumped that moniker in favor of Bereft. So now, the band featuring members of Intronaut, Abysmal Dawn and now former The Faceless vocalist Derek Rydquist will be called Bereft. I like that name too, Bereft will Read More
That’s the good word from The Faceless and Sumerian Records. But enough about that, for now. I want to discuss my skin. For some reason, it sucks. I’m almost always itchy somewhere, because my skin gets dry. I refuse to use body lotion. Maybe that’s where I’ve gone wrong. A doctor once told me he Read More
The Faceless’ Derek Rydquist has confirmed his departure from the group in a statement to Lambgoat. “As you Internet sleuths have deduced, I have left The Faceless,” he says. “I left the band a couple months ago, and we were waiting until they had everything sorted out on their end before saying anything about it, Read More
