THE FACELESS have certainly been plagued as of late by controversy and instability. The band’s most recent gig seems to be the latest chapter in the ongoing saga.
Michael Keene and his new line-up rolled into Berkeley, CA on June 10 for their appearance at the “Bay Area Death Fest.” Unfortunately, they were late:
Afterward, fans started replying online with critical comments. One of its most detailed comments was reposted and reads as follows:
“I only had to wait around for 1.5 hours after The Zenith Passage finished to be able to hear 50% of Planetary Duality played terribly. This is the third time in ONE year that I’ve been burned by The Faceless’ antics (no show at SS2017 Anaheim and set so terrible at SS2017 LA that Ken was throwing shade at Keene onstage). I sincerely hope that someday everything is turned around and I and other fans can see The Faceless play live again, on time and well, but enough with the lame excuses. It was astounding to me how indignant Keene acted when told that they were far too late to play PD in its entirety, and then later offering the crowd to choose what songs to hear but then overturning the decision because “[I] like Ancient Covenant more.” I mostly feel sorry for this round of musicians that have signed their reputations over to this band. They all seem like nice dudes and are extremely talented, but I guess they knew what they were getting into. RIP The Faceless.”
