Dude, this tone as well as on the Zenith Passage vids is fucking amazing. Love the cleanliness and clarity and punch. Please put out an album with this tone!

[relpis]

insane tone, tight af, no over the top gain, clean notes

[Sirheadly]

In the wise words of Steven Wilson: "As tight as a witch's cleft."

[RBdestroyer]

Man I have never heard such precise playing with this kinda dynamic and tone absolutely insane and perfected so well

[aalaanjoe]

With no doubt, Justin was influenced by the faceless (or Michael keene) for His guitar playing style

[maggotflf]

Justin McKinney should marry Alex Rudinger, they'd make an amazing couple

[Spergen]

I love the series of chords that start around @1:00 . Favorite part of the song tbh. If any guitarists/musicians could clue me in as to what makes them sound so dissonant(I think) and evil, I would love to hear it

[redred]

stock kiesel pickups? Very unique tone, ultra tight. Just seems like a fun tone to play on.

[Xaldin]

Does that mean they're gonna play it at Summer Slaughter??? I'd cry if they did

[MarioSpeedWagon]

I was excited about a re release of prison born anniversary, but the tones coming from faceless lately have been poop. but what do I know?

[Rose.Of.Hizaki]

So thats fuckin why Zenith Passage sounds so much like The Ive listened to TF for years and ZP for months and i always thought ZP was just one of these random bands that are heavily influenced by their favourite bands much to the point where they sound almost like them.

I literally just read that Michael Keene is currently the only member of TF because everyone else quit which is sad... TF finally released a new album but it seems Keene is as difficult to work with as ive heard and everyone just decided to quit....

I was enjoying the new album so much too :( now its gonna be another 5 years before we see another release.

[SwooceMothmane]

I'm watching this after watching Archspires play through video and I actually think YouTube is set to like 1.25 speed but it's not

[CrisRYMER]

Re-recorded the thing for the 10th anniversary Edition? :O

[noAPlease]

this guy and Jessie should get together and shred faces! Great players!

[XenoTravis]

This back when they half made tech death as a nice ergonomic massage for guitar players lol.

Hello im new to Kiesel guitars, i was looking at ordering a custom vader in the future and im wanting to do the rear natural clear (rnc) option i see on your guitars but i dont see it on the site as a order option, so i was wondering how i could go about getting it! Thank you! :)

[wylde]

Why have the leads recorded but no video for them?

[aswallscollapse]

great playing, but I wasn't a fan of the tone.

[tulpasconstructor]

That tone is awesome, I know it's not what would normally be used but it sounds sick! Also awesome to finally see this song played. Wish I'd seen it 2 years ago lol So glad the faceless is still going, I didnt like autotheism much but the new album is a great redemption imo. Good mix of styles introduced in autotheism and the older PD and akeldama sound. Cup of mephistopheles and digging the grave are the best off the album, just IMO.

No disrespect. Steve Jones was better. You rule dude anyways!
