The Faceless - Autotheist Pt. I,II & III (Live 5-12-2013) The Complete Movement

The Faceless perform "Autotheist I:Create", "Autotheist II: Emancipate" & "Autotheist III: Deconsecrate" live on May 12,2013 at The Granada in Lawrence,KS

[@wowla1]

This HAS to be one of tech-death's strongest lineups ever.

[@noahbrierley885]

Yeah Wes Hauch, Evan Brewer and Alex Rudinger is a pretty absurd supporting cast. Keene was collecting the death metal infinity stones lol

[@WTFuneral]

very grateful to have seen that tour with this lineup and btbam playing parallax 2 in its entirety , also the contortionist was on that show. one i will remember forever

[@TORTLESSS]

so fuckin sad wes left like 2 years after this album, alex and evan did too after a while

[@Tobias5036]

This album is such a masterpiece, shame it wasn't as well received as it (IMO) should of been.

[@buckfuttler2877]

its their best one imo...EVERY song is so amazing.

[@iansmith8763]

I look at this album as a full metal masterpiece. It should be regarded as one of the best metal, not just prog death or deathcore or whatever genre you want to put it in, but one of the top metal albums.

[@theevilincarnate645]

It's because it's too Prog for the Death Metal fans and too Death Metal for the Prog fans

[@milesssymusic]

@@theevilincarnate645 hahaha thats so fucking true dude

[@crestfallen821]

I really enjoy the first part of the record but from "Ten Billion Years" onwards it really lets down imo.

[@HiveBeresrker]

The Faceless always had a reputation of studio quality live performances..

[@waylonwood86]

lol. that's because it is a backing vocal track for Michael

[@shadowandluigifan989]

It's not hard to tell that there isn't a backing track lmfao.

THIS is The Faceless. This lineup is perfection.

[@jbasti227]

Fuck. That solo in Emancipate is one of the best I've ever heard. I love The Faceless, and I really wish Keene got his shit together so he didn't keep losing members would actually start playing live shows again

[@EclipseAtDusk]

They're playing technical music, which requires a lot of concentration. It's hard as hell to jump around and play tech/prog death at the same time.

[@OmniscientVirtuosity]

Lead at (9:39) is the best in the entire Faceless catalog. Bravo Keene just Bravo. Fantastic feel and technically meshed into transcendent bliss

[@fvneral666]

OmniscientVirtuosity Keene is good, but Wes was the real shit! one of the most clean players ever!

[@OmniscientVirtuosity]

Ehh... He was before I spoke with Keene and he made it clear he played pretty much all the good leads on that album. And outside of that Album, Wes has little tongi off of. He's a great player, but nothing special. Cleanest player ever?? Ok, what the hell does that even mean. There are tons of great players who play clean and accurate since the 70s. Wes is just a new guy who achieved a similar status. Faceless leads have been great since their demo days.

[@fvneral666]

OmniscientVirtuosity "Keene has also stated that the addition of Hauch gave the band some fresh energy, praising Hauch to be “one of the best guitar players I’ve ever had the privilege of playing with, he’s really amazing." cheers buddy

Cheers

Not anymore ... All 3 or 4 in spiraling void are now.... Like.... JESUS CHRIST HOW IS THAT SONG BETTER THAN THIS GIGALITH PROG OPUS IT BLOWS MY MIND BUT I THINK IT IS Not by much tho... Not by much AT ALL

[@VanguardParty]

There is nothing in the world you will ever be good at as much as Alex Rudinger is good at playing drums. The best part is that he didn't write any of these parts, but plays them spot on and improvises some. Open hand playing FTW.

[@buckfuttler2877]

hes great no doubt....but Lyle Cooper and Chason Westmoreland are better...imo....

BEST LINEUP

[@poppapunker6238]

Hell no. No. No fucking way in hell. The Planetary Duality line up was by far the pinnacle of The Faceless lineups.

[@Ellienollie]

i agree and also disagree. lyle cooper was awesome, but having rudinger is amazing. plus he can play all of the planetary duality songs just....as much as i love lyle, alex is a great drummer.

[@RockinDbop1]

im not talking about the music on the albums, all im really saying is i think geoff and alex were the best frontman and drummer. Lyle wrote some DOPE shit, but ive seen alot of videos of lyle playing it live and alot of videos of alex playing it live, and tbh, alex is not only more enthusiastic and energetic, but he is simply way more solid playing lyle's parts than lyle is.

[@Ellienollie]

exactly. alex is a machine so it is a treat to see them live and have him play their songs. I saw lyle live and im a huge fan but i think i would have gotten even more hype for alex. honestly, mostly every one in the band is replaceable, keene is the "creative energy" behind the band, even if he is a supposed asshole

[@G9_Studios]

+Poppa Punker I definitely agree. Alex drumming is lackluster compared to Lyle. Planetary Duality was amazing.

[@SD-ng4gm]

No clue how Michael Keane sings while playing those passages so tightly and in time with those epic drums. And Wes Hauch is simply one of the cleanest and coolest lick writers in metal history. That ending solo to emancipate is mind blowingly melodic and unique

[@franktothemax]

9:33 chills everytime.

[@Beeteejay]

that solo at the end of part 2. So excited to see this band in december

[@asscher10]

Bethan_Modelmaker so beautiful.

[@RaganRogaine]

I like how no one is commenting on how BEUTIFUL mcihaels harmony to the recorded version was on "I am god"

[@Tarkess]

I love how Alex adds an awesome fill at 02:38 and then Keene looks over and kinda gives him a nod of approval, haha.

[@CareyPortnoyBeauford]

This is incredible

[@ChainsawChristmas]

damn this band was so sick. Wes Hauch just didn't get enough time playing solos in this band. Keene can write some epic tunes for sure.

[@jmetalskinz]

They have such a top notch drummer. Just incredible precision and that double kick sounds perfect! Cuts right through the riffs. Keen is astounding as always.

[@CrustaceanCraigory]

The transition from movement 1 to movement 2 is so clean when they do it live

[@Oh_its_Mike]

This dude was the best vocalist they ever had. I saw them on this tour. Dude was bananas.

[@spectranwolfinfusion]

This was my favourite Faceless line-up

[@isaiahgrandt5305]

Wes’s playing is amazing

[@frozenineternity542]

The movement is so... moving

[@iDrunkRS]

Seriously one of the absolute best tech death bands. And Rüdy is one of the greatest metal drummers of all time. This fuckin kicks ass.

[@AlisterTate]

I can't believe it's been nearly a decade since I attended this show. Core memory for me right here, I'm standing right there in the front row. These guys were my absolute favorite band at the time, no contest. 10 years later and I'm still social with Wes, so wild. Thank you for posting this.

[@du9163]

fucking hell yeah yeah what a line up!! Rudi killed it

[@Chuck_Dick]

This is the best the faceless has ever been!! Autotheism is great as well!!

[@maxstatic]

Saw this tour, day before I deployed, stood right in front of Wes. Was an incredible send off.

[@Gmacdrums]

It's sad watching this and seeing what their live performances are like today.

[@zaxcomemocos]

And it's getting worse...

[@qwertyasdfgh2404]

you can't blame michael, he has always had a perfect skills. now he's in trouble and that's sad.

[@PhelpsLife]

Chills to the bone. Absolutely fucking incredible

[@micharosinski4812]

The double solo that starts at 9:38 is fuckin amazing, one of the best in tech death or in metal music as a whole. Alex'es accents on splash makes this even better. They are just geniuses.

[@BlackdrummDJ]

[@snackpack2191]

godamn these people fuse and make amazing works together

[@smaragdboa]

Insanely tight band live!

[@therealshug]

The three most wonderfully Atheist songs ever created. Fuck I love this album. Fuck yeah Alex, can't tell you how happy I am that you're in this band!

[@KreaperSlayer]

lol I'm christian and this is still my favorite album

[@memyself8240]

Kreaper lmao...you serious? You are missing 90% of the album's meaning

[@ScheduledChip]

me myself Maybe he just likes the music even if he disagrees with its message? Not everyone uses music purely as a reinforcement of their ideological beliefs. I'm an atheist too but I believe in letting religious people believe what they want to, that doesn't mean I don't think this is a kickass album.

[@Shredwizard445]

Michael keene is so inspirational. Frontman status

[@bmhyakiri]

Seriously a flawless performance.

[@jonnopunch]

Perfect line up in the world.

[@G9_Studios]

No, planetary duality was better.

[@jonnopunch]

indeed. btw in (my) world haha

[@G9_Studios]

+Jonno Punch I got to see this line up pretty much but they still had brewer and cooper and it was dope. I just feel like Alex's drumming is not to 'standards' after planetary duality
