THE FACELESS - Emancipate

[@harveydjent_]

I've listened to a lot of metal over the years and there's been a lot of guitar solos by legends like John Petrucci and Kirk Hammett, but I swear on my life the outro solo on this song is the most beautiful thing I've ever heard

[@JJLipton]

The solo is a modern masterpiece.

[@KING3407]

DethMetLKhaos I second that. \m/ The solo for Ten Billion Years is one of my favorites also.

[@GuitarooMan93]

Jeong the whole album is

[@krispynachos9980]

lol never use kirk hammett and john petrucci in the same sentence...forget the same league they ain't even in the same sport!

[@Trenz0]

@@krispynachos9980 I got triggered too

[@Lunchboxlandlol]

I couldn't mosh to this. I would just stand there, crying because of how beautiful it is.

[@unnoticedkiller5]

That is what happened at summer slaughter's Houston stop this summer. People stopped going ham and just listened to the beautiful music for the most part.

[@BladeofmoonlightKitto]

Lauren Smith thats great

[@tronjavolta7466]

The time signatures are hard to flow to if you don't know them.

[@tronjavolta7466]

nonetheless, it's just beautiful to stand and listen. love the lyrics and meaning behind it all.

[@lazyjackass77]

You are not the only one. I get the same feeling with necrophagist. And Bach.

[@captaincrunch7126]

6:03 one of the best solos the captain has ever experienced in his entire naval career.

[@davidmurphy8364]

For me it rivals any solo that thrash has produced it's fucking epic!

[@markmaw8]

The admiral strongly agrees captain 🛥️🚢

[@adamkral4]

dude seriously, so beautiful i cried

[@IAmWhoTheGodsDetest]

My favorite song by these guys. This was the first song I heard by them and I was amazed at how good this was back in 2012 and I still am amazed by it in 2016. Truly a timeless classic even if it's only four years old.

[@logicape]

And I'm still amazed in 2019!

[@Qliphirot]

Impossible not cry with the solo at the end. Total eargasm!

[@matianamiramontes2646]

exactly!!!!!!

[@Metal555Fan]

That solo at 6:00 is just too good. I love this album, as well as all their other releases, this band is amazing!

[@niclasrachow]

One of the best metal guitar solos of all time.

[@maliboo88]

How does he make his guitar cry so beautifully?

[@nateburn610]

Heroin.

[@dulcetabeats]

Pain and suffering mixed with intellect and drugs

[@tl_nik0n353]

Keene is so fucking good it's scary.

[@krispynachos9980]

Crusty GymSock shame he seems like an egotistical douche though

[@WeirdWizzard]

The solo at the end of this song gives me goosebumps every single time, I love it!

[@TheMeh115]

The Faceless: Are babies an instrument? No, Faceless. Babies are not an instrument. (Repeats an old joke because he can. Old but gold!)

[@aprilroberts5660]

I feel like I can die happy after listening to this solo, everytime

[@100XPercentX]

its amazing.

[@LoseThePhobia]

That sound at 6:35 is just too damn good!

[@cecicardoza6235]

The melody reminds me a bit of Final Fantasy idk why, you can easily use this for a videogame, it's amazing

[@samiranicole2025]

Ceci Cardoza true!

[@tonykratos]

Wes Hauch is the man!!!

[@Bubbafett250]

Michael Keene's mother... the most metal mother alive. (For those who don't know, she performed backing vocals in this song.)

[@mindmurder666]

These guys don't step it up, they jump up to another level. This is good metal, this is good music.

[@MakaOBravo]

best solo ❤

Hell of an outro!

[@jbasti227]

That solo, that damn solo. The whole song is amazing, but GOD DAMN that solo.

[@gianniswildchild]

the outro solo,might be the band's best solo.EVER.

[@frutoish]

I'm Catholic and personally I love The Faceless and I always take in other people's views but I always stick with mine. It doesn't really matter to me. I listen to a lot of bands that contradict religion and I'm like whatever I dont care. Good music and good lyrics. But not to be offensive or anything but most atheists aren't like that but neither are most Christians but whatever's keep it up The Faceless I've loved you guys for a good 4 years now.

[@davidmurphy8364]

This album has a real Psychotic Waltz vibe, my favourite Faceless tune and album

[@rafaelrios7060]

that ending solo though.

[@shadowandluigifan989]

@4:34-4:39:"Into a concept, your dreadful toilet sink has clogged."

[@jimmiebondurant1774]

sounds accurate

[@anupregmi6400]

Damn man I can’t unhear it now 😂

[@SicC678]

incredible. really fucking love this album, as well as both of the others. very interesting progression/evolution of a band.

[@peterbagosi3862]

every album recorded with another mates. except michael keene

[@TFS143]

@4:37 he definitely say something about a toiletsink being clogged

[@jameshawotte732]

Lol. I heard it

[@th3w1zard1]

lol he actually says 'Into a god's mask your dreadful coiling snake has crawled'

[@th3w1zard1]

I just realized right after I posted that that the lyrics are in the description derp

[@cenaspunk]

"Into a god's mask your dreadful toilet sink is clogged"

[@M3G4FR34K]

I normally don't enjoy these kinds of songs on the first listen but this one is special! That ending was especially flavorful!

[@MarinoSesh420]

That song at the end

[@laxman2136]

You just can't even diss this album.

[@chrislawshe4075]

i feel like the faceless's songs on the autotheism movement are more instrumental than lyrical. which is cool

[@Remnantsofadam]

exactly. just believe in whatever you want to believe in. no ones forcing you to take their side.

[@SirPraiseSun]

the outro solo is fuckin amazing

[@LifttheDead30]

That outro solo is so damn good. It's perfect.

[@diegoscursatone868]

I can clearly listen TOOL, S.Y.L, VOICES and OPETH as a collage of influences...

[@SevObzen]

6:34 that squeal is the best sound I've heard all year.

[@LemonLimeSqueeze]

This is the best song The Faceless have written IMO. That riff at 0:50 is one of the most awesome things i've ever heard.

[@XDeparturehymnX]

I swear. the vocalist and guitarist are so fucking extraordinary omfg

[@johnlarose5399]

RETURNING TO THIS AFTER YEARS AND GROWING OLDER AND BUYING IN BECOMING GHOST IVE COME TO REALLY APPRECIATE THIS ALBUM

[@MrBreezy4Sheezy]

Thanks for this. Epic solo.

[@The-Esoteric-One]

Timeless guitar solo.

[@johnathandk42134]

I don't care for the song much as a whole, but the solo from 6:00 till the end is just awesome

[@northsidejunkies]

Speed and tech. really amazing orchestration the faceless is real new metal

[@cosmonawt_]

6:38 is the exact moment I transcend the heavens. My God that bend

[@Surugatari]

You can't dislike this song. You can't. It's just too good.

[@bfreestop]

This song goes CC-Opeth-Dream Theater-Dimmu Borgir-Death-Sax-wait wat m8 a sax really it's so gud

[@IonObliv]

Oh boy...those harmonics, good ol' Dimebag would be proud, beautiful solo.

[@richardjimenez7669]

Greatest Faceless album to date. Easy.

[@obsidian6335]

Richard Jimenez easy?

[@mythias]

I have enjoyed this song, thanks to a person who just posted about it in a Facebook group. He put in the lyrics there as well. You should add them to the description. An atrophied frame by an impotent rapture sustained A God you will truly never see "Thou shalt" unfurling in the wind Rising above with an "I will" The shrouded impulse of your self preservation A flash of the fearful wickedness inside Phantoms dreamt to life by the desperately lost Despisers of life bound in other worldly hopes

[@davidmurphy8364]

Haven't listened to these guys since Akeldema, fuck me I thought they were amazing back then, love the clean vocals, reminds me of the singer from Psychotic Waltz, a fucking epic tune for hurtling through space

[@giantrobot5804]

I am here thinking pretty much the EXACT same thing.. I saw these guys support Opeth in London. Remember that track, An Autopsy? lol so good man. Memories

[@davidmurphy8364]

Giant Robot Yeah dude opening track off Akeldama wasn't it? Fuck, Opeth as well, must of been some show!

[@giantrobot5804]

David Murphy I can't remeber what track it is all I know is it has that savage breakdown at the end. "Sever the...SKULLLLL" hahahah!! Yeah man Cynic played too was the highlight. We only went for them actually. another band who you might like if you havn't heard of them called The Ocean (collective) Check ot Aeolian its a great album.

[@Hex0rcist]

Autopsy isn't it? the sever the skull line?

[@giantrobot5804]

Wolfsgrin Yeah bro, that was it. I listened to it again soon after this thread. An Autopsy. lol fat riffs in that track.

[@Skrim666]

The cleans are amazing

[@ThePandema]

I agree with you. I don't mind when people voice there own opinions, what annoys me is when people start insulting others for having a different opinion. But hey this is the internet, there will always be trolls.

[@TjarpDex]

Everything good ever in Metal bands rolled into one = The Faceless

[@oh_heeeyyy]

You are the hero this playlist deserves.

[@Scorched4Life]

Damn, this song is BRUTAL

[@HolidayFan15]

I'm almost sure it isn't his mother but his sister. She also did vocals on the song Pestilence on the Akeldama album.

[@Zyborggian]

The Autotheist Movement is the greatest song The Faceless have ever written. This is just one part of it. And I would agree with you that this is the best section of the piece.

[@Ch1ckenKatsu]

one of my favorite songs, very well written

[@franciscojavierforerodoval3243]

this is one of the best metal songs of all time

[@HiveBeresrker]

Metal is dying? Hour of Penance just came out with an album the blew my skin off of my body. Suffocation's new album ripped out my prostate and stapled it to my chin it was so great.

What is up with the crying baby sound?

[@twystedmama]

using older riffs from major bands is really the ultimate form of flattry. who cares who took what riff from who? its EVOLVING

[@darkdrageon]

Started being core, growing and becoming a jewel of prog tech, the god of metal is proud.

[@Boristhaspydr]

2:30 is such a beautiful riff, and it's very Opethy lol

[@richarddantz4256]

"Phantoms dreamt to life by the desperately lost Despisers of life bound in other worldly hopes Voices from above Mere delusions of shame and guilt" I mean shit!

[@dylanwilliams2912]

I love to see the variety of Music these artist's contain within them. Im a fan for their more Technical Deathy sound, but this is just as amazing in its own way!

[@HeavensShadowMusic]

My favorite song of this cd, the solo is amazing.. :)

[@sharmoota120]

I'd love to see this guys solo over Jeff loomis any day. Nothing can replace feeling. Guitarists like jeff and malmsteen have an incredible amount of my respect their songs I can't listen to for so long because well I don't get feeling from it. I get so much happy feelings listening to this guitarist solo and he even incorporates technicality at the same time.. He mixes those highs and lows so well gives a slight jazz feel.. Just amazing stuff

[@gayathrikamath3082]

3:37 to 4:43😍

[@lionheartodd]

damn I had to rewind this 3 times I wish they played this on the radio

[@oopirates96]

Something around 6:07 it sounds so much like the song create the guitar riff.

[@metalligeek093]

Favorite song off the album. This and In Solitude.

[@Popabuddy1]

This is music too buddy, no matter how heavy or soft it is at the end of the day it's still metal. Metal of great uniqueness and quality. Metal doesn't deserve people like you, it deserves people with the understanding of knowing true music. I hope you understand.

[@ThePandema]

There is no need for debate. Each person takes what they want from the lyrics of a song. Let people have their own opinion and don't chastise them if they don't see things as you see them.

[@MetalHead92373]

Absolutely wonderful song, and solos! :D Love from Norway.

[@Ak0tnik]

People who watched the video of The Faceless stealing riffs, let's mention Keene's influences are Extol and Opeth. The Devin Townsend thing is pretty similar, but they made a kind of mix, wehich for I guess is something different, they recombined two awesome elements. But well, congrats to The Faceless, this band brought one of 2012's best albums

[@itsallkorn]

definitely on Mr to favorites for many reasons!

[@killme8641]

i fucking love this band so much

[@edubchrist]

Goddamn adding Wes to the group was a such a good idea. Dat ending he wrote is b e a utiful

This is my 2nd favorite guitar solo in metal. Life changing shit. And if you're wondering, the 1st is Entrance of the Conflagration by Trivium.

[@100XPercentX]

[@maulros]

Whoa bit shocked... Was not expecting anything like this. This is good thou!

[@chickensmile64]

definitely sounds like a trade off to me too, been stuck in my head for the past few days :D

[@warjeffeagle]

I see that makes 2 of us with great musical taste :-) Now if I can find a Meshuggah track with a crying baby, my head might explode!

[@Laughingman923]

I don't get why some people are complaining about this album, I personally think its one of their best albums, and don't start with the whole fan boy shit because they are not even my favorite band. The first album was good, but not great, and then they released Planetary Duality which blew my mind away. I thought they could not make a better album than PD, but then they released Autotheism and I think this is a move in the right direction. I personally love this album.

[@MrWiggerdale123]

Hmm, I'd say that it sounded like Keene and then at 6:44 Hauch comes in, either way it's a definite trade off. Both are absolutely stunning, these are seriously high class solos.

[@heavyreign1000]

This album is darker and has a more direct force behind it

[@Razzics]

I KNOW I THOUGHT THE SAME THING!!! But this album is great even if the influences are obvious at time. The faceless are really something else. Nobody sounds like them.

[@voxextremos22]

We're not gonna agree on that but we can agree that this band is badass. You believe what yo want and I'll believe what i want. I completely respect your view's weather I agree with them or not i'm trying to disprove anything, I'm simply here to enjoy a brilliant piece of art.

[@LuhrRunzRS]

Religion will never fall and man will never fall. Good day sir.

[@Ace9e]
