THE FACELESS - Deconsecrate

The God is Dead is an infamous quote from Friedrich Nietzche but the average person wouls just assume that it's atheism or satanic,. "Oh, how ignorant the average masses are, akin to a frog perspective. They sit on the pond of life and merely croak for their entire life." ~Friedrich Nietzsche, Beyond Good and Evil~

the amount of work and music elements in every track of this album is insane

Second that! I am by far not a "metal head"! But I do enjoy listening to some progressive black metal from time to time. And The Faceless is indeed fucken amazing!!! That saxophone was a nice touch to the track! Love it!

[@Mateo-ko9kx]

The5ers gives a completely new level to the track.. perfect

[@nbohatyritz1]

This reminds me of the band death, not because of the music but how well this is composed with emotion

[@hkill09]

I'm sure this has been said a thousand times, but.. I am a Christian and I thoroughly enjoy this song, and many other songs that are critical towards my beliefs. I like to keep an open mind and the best thing about these kind of songs is that they do a fantastic job of highlighting my religion's overall ignorance of any form of logic; their beliefs are based entirely off the dependence of a deity and they completely shut out the possibility of the integration of any form of logic or reason.

[@OverGuyThat]

I want this played at my funeral.

[@candian75]

I really don't understand how one could not love this song. It really feels like The Faceless are attempting to explore different styles of music and expanding their repertoire. The Faceless are really beginning to come into their own. They sound more polished and creative as a band. Absolutely love this song!

[@XxSUPERBEANRxX]

Ima Christian and I love this song, its chill

[@mrbones-pd8kp]

to incorporate a sax solo into a death metal song that seemlessly is pure genius

You should check out Ohwurm by cephalic carnage pretty rad sax solo in that as well🤘😈🤘

I swear if the clean vocalist wasnt in a metal band he could be a widely famous regular singer. still love The Faceless' work though dont get me wrong though. the vocalist has a heavenly voice to me

[@blindsagacity]

All 3 albums were absolutely incredible and I don't have a bad thing to say about any of them. But the progession this band has gone through is absolutely astounding. Akeldama (Larva) was like straight up brutal and technical death metal with a hint of prog. Planetary Duality (Chrysalis) was technical brutal death metal and proggy as hell. But Autotheism is their Butterfly album, they have left the cocoon and transformed into this incredibly deep and intelligent progressive techdeath band.

[@who_cares-j8y]

this isn't really my style of music, but I wanted to hear the sax.

[@devilslfthand]

Gorod's 'A Perfect Absolution' is phenomenal.

[@jc8liter2388]

Seeing all the negative opinions aimed at this album has proven to me that just because you like metal music doesn't mean that you know anything about music composition. This album is gold.

[@christopherepperson3328]

Ideology is death.

[@AlienSpace666]

That's because Sumerian started out as what seemed to be a metal record label. I've been a fan of The Faceless since before they released the first album. The Faceless made a really nice impact on the metal community when they released 'Akeldama' and helped to bring Sumerian to life. Sumerian has had a name since way before AA. I can't say that The Faceless is the only band responsible for Sumerian's success, but they've had a large part in getting it where it's at today.

[@AdamandEveReptiles]

3:32 You're welcome :D

[@AlienSpace666]

Yes, that was part of my original comment. Someone laughed at the idea of The Faceless being a huge part of Sumerian and a large portion of the foundation. I commented that The Faceless was Sumerian's first band on the label and that they're just as responsible for Sumerian's success as any other band on the label.

[@gregwill500]

love the music. but for a song that celebrates the victory of logic over...God? its got some pretty flawed logic. and yeah the dude below is deaf if he can't here evan's bass lines.

[@justinlfo8935]

the last line represents that these beliefs are abandoned in the shadows of the light.

[@brain-inafryingpan]

For real though, that saxophone solo just might be the best thing ever.

[@YouNoob93]

The Faceless were the first band to get signed by the label, and what makes Sumerian special is that they mainly sign new bands who haven't been signed before.

[@gianniswildchild]

Faceless have some of the freshest and deepest ideals and beliefs I have ever see. Their music is as open-minded too.

[@DutchmanX69]

holy mother of god that sax solo

[@wbjackson6116]

I bought the CD as a pre order. Love this album!

[@KyleECHOLS]

I agree. It's a psychological fact that the stuff we let enter our minds comes back out. Think about love, and you are more likely to express words of love more often...think about death or sadness, and sadness and other depressing things come out more often.

[@TheLegionofwolves]

Goes from sounding like a deep space intergalactic adventure through hell to Demented phantom of the opera. I honestly love it.

[@CacoDaemon1611]

This is a musicians album....if know your theory, then you know this is a work of art. Behold your new master!!!,

[@Pho3niXnz]

This is the first song from The Faceless that I've listened to and I have to say, this is one of the best first impressions of a band I have ever had. Awesome musicians, going to listen to a lot more now! :D

[@severedize]

This is my favourite track from the album, I never thought (what I believe to be a saxophone) would sound so right. The solo that follows is perfect. Is it a saxophone anybody?

[@stutterbeats666]

You'll never guess who plays that sax solo......... Freakin' golden......

[@KyleECHOLS]

Actually I'm a missionary, but it's nice to know that even a fellow Christian like yourself takes the side of these people who support those who persecute us. It's not just lyrics, and people do take these words to heart. And It doesn't matter if no one else cares. Christ demands we pick up our cross and follow him, so it's not good that you follow these people who stand against Christ. I love metal, so be careful not to judge. I've been playing metal for 20 years on my Jackson Warrior XT!

the fact that I see y'all on a faceless video is the reason why you guys are my favorite dubstep collaborative effort, I was chillen back stage in Pittsburgh with blake n he had a despised icon shirt on I fucking love people who can incorporate heavy shit like this into their music, and appreciate it. YOU GUYS FUCKING RULE!

[@abracadaver8]

cant stop listen to this. best music i can imagine.

[@SPYYOPS]

Correct you are. A simple glance at the lyrics of the first movement on the album demonstrates this: "No creator in the heaven above (I am the lightning), No demons in the furnace below (I am the frenzy)." Breaking out of the mold of existing religious idealisms to be your own god and the ruler of your own world

[@AskeGervase]

The Faceless never disappoints me.

[@ThePhoenixsj]

Words aren´t enough to describe this record (Autotheism), simply it is so artistic, extreme, dark & beautiful, this kind of records see the light every 20 years, I was lucky to live in this era and to have this masterpiece in my hands..

[@rapmetaldemon09]

I'm a Christian and my favorite genre is black metal. Are you really going to stop listening to an amazing band like The Faceless just because you disagree with them?

[@NEWSUPERCHARGER2001]

This album got me to like Technical Death Metal at 16 years old, I remember it like it was yesterday. I was listening to The Eidolon Reality by fluke on shuffle with my IPod and then BOOM! I was acutally bobbing my head to it, I was then intrigued on the album from my cousin who was into all sorts of death metal at our age and I actually ended giving this genre a shot! Still not hugely into this genre but can respect now that I actually like some of it now, I'm really just a The Faceless, Altar of Grief, Indian, Death and small Cannibal Corpse fan. I like death metal/black metal here and there now, like Burzum, Darkthrone, Necrophagist, bunch of other ones I know now cuz of my cousin. Super good stuff, we're not really SUPER into Metal Music now, but then we were, he's more experimental post rock kind of guy now I'm more into obscure yet still popular metal and rock bands with touches of noise rock psych rap hip hop technical metal stuff nowadays. Being a kid into this music for the first time was super fun, man I miss that time!

[@MerchantOfDeath69]

That intro... It's like something out of the strangest of dreams. Like the one that you can't tell whether or not it's a nightmare. It's just so evil and so beautiful at the same time. o__o

[@Alazar0k]

Very unique sound while sounding Opeth-esque, this is awesome

[@alexproboi]

The reason this album came out at the perfect time is because they already have 2 tech-death albums, one of which is a masterpiece while the other comes damn near close to be one, so when you're sick of tech-death you can go to a more progressive album like this, and not a too progressive one (Opeth for instance)

[@Bones12x2]

I think this album is great. If people want something that sounds generic relative to the genre then there will always be dozens of bands willing to pump out variations of songs that we have all heard before. I really enjoy clean vocals with heavy music. It adds a nice dynamic when done well, plus clean vocals can have a lot more variety and depth so things don't get stale.

[@LaObraDeMarteLODM]

This album for me is the best of the 3 albums. At the same time all three albums are really different. Plus the lyrics are genius.

[@shREDhead44]

I love this song from 3:01 onwards, not too into the lyrics and the carnival feel of the beginning, but this song ends with a furious flurry that I totally love!

[@TheOmegaeyes]

Just went on my list of want to buys, glad to see this album finally see the light of day!

[@Metal4ever69]

you are so right this album is a technical masterpiece i love the ominous sound! n.n

I'm with you man, I hate people who turn their back on a band just because they decided to change up their sound. Its a really shitty thing to do to a band that dedicates their life to producing music for you to listen to. I personally really enjoy evolution of bands. Makes things more interesting.

[@kotmurzik]

The Faceless propably the greatest band ever lived

[@Decon5592]

Completely agreed. Unfortunately a lot of metalheads aren't really in it for the music, more for the tough guy image. Once there's some variety in there and it isn't all "brootal screaming" then they throw a shit fit.

[@upilitukelabu]

when my friend listen to this album, she was like... "what? but why? why they changed a lot!" and i replied, "well... it calls progression xD."

[@EverRestNZ]
