THE FACELESS NO LONGER BASSLESS

Thursday, April 7th, 2011 at 11:30am by

A couple of weeks ago, Vince broke your heart with the news that bassist Jared Lander had quit The Faceless. But time heals all wounds and when one door closes another one opens and always look on the bright side of life. So the band has now announced that “The sickest bass player in the game, Evan Brewer (Animosity/Reflux) has officially joined The Faceless.”

And the band isn’t dicking around. Brewer knows his shit.

So if you were, for any reason, worried that The Faceless would have a hard time filling Lander’s shoes, well, don’t be.

The Faceless will hopefully have a new album out on Sumerian later this year. Brewer is apparently releasing a solo album through that label as well.

    Saw this on Facebook the other day, those albums are going to be fucking sick. Probably the best band Sumerian has. I cannot wait.

      By far my favourite Sumarian band.

  • Sapien

    This made me so happy. It’s like…too perfect.

  • Matt

    Now The Faceless can finally be that elitist asshole group of musicians it’s always wanted to be

    Jk, But Evan fucking rules on the for real though.

    Obscura pt. 2

    Also, I think it’s weird that Animosity played party death metal, but was made up of some absolutely amazing musicians. (Evan and Navene)

    • Irrational Gaze

      Agreed. Animosity was a ton of fun to see live though. Those guys were awesome.

  • Kisiel

    I dunno what to say.
    Finally some good news after hearing about losing members by Opeth and Chimaira..

  • WowWee!

    The Faceless definently found a good replacement, I loved the last album and I have a good feeling about the next one.

  • Obsequium Mindris

    It seems like almost every Sumerian band is getting an upgrade to their lineup between albums. I’m ok with this.

    • Metalguy

      i thiink its more the fact that they are all young bands, and some guys dont really want to be in a band past there mid 20′s

  • Bach

    Ex-Animosity, so you know hes a beast right off the bat. but this proves it. however i did not like that the faceless in their press release claimed hes the best in the game, whether he is or not its not good form to say things like that.

  • Bayon

    This bassist played with Tosin Abasi (Reflux) and Navene Koperweis(Animosity)?! No wonder he is so good.

  • colbow

    their fans are lucky
