      ​@fountane i always refer to the faceless as the Keene Machine. Such a shame how problematic he seems to be. At least we have zenith passage as a result.

    I remember meeting this dude outside a Best Buy in Valencia about 15 years ago. He’s rad, I had just seen the Faceless at some shit place in canoga park and thought this dude was badass then but I was a little jealous how good he was because I was playing bass at the same time. I’m happy this man stuck with playing music.

      No hate to the dudes but he's definitely playing differently than what's in the recording. The first two gallops in the song after the first note, in the recorded track they're on the same octave as the first note but he's hitting them an octave higher. Happens multiple times on repetitions

    Ace musicianship as expected from a member of ZP and ex Faceless/Cynic (live), but damn man, that has to be the least exciting bass tone I've ever heard in my life. I understand if it fits with what you guys were going for, but imo it sounds so flat and dead. Not trying to be a Debbie Downer or anything, just my very unimportant opinion on things.

      I feel the complete opposite! The bass pops so much more in my opinion, and doesn't just sound like a million other bands. For me its a nice throwback to bands like Cynic, Death, Watchtower, etc where cleaner bass (by todays standards) was used. I wouldn't mind just a hair more grit, but I adore this almost clean style of bass tone for this genre.
