Old Shame is In-Universe only


* CreatorBacklash: ''Akeldama'' doesn't seem to be held in very high regard by Keene. "An Autopsy" is still a live staple, but other than that, they have turned their back on the album and don't seem to be too intent on changing that.

The correct form is "bald-faced".


* CreativeDifferences: The cause of the bulk of the departures, including the second mass departure (Sorceron, [=McKinney=], and Butler.) In the case of the latter, they all remarked, with varying degree of subtlety, that their involvement was a toxic, soul-draining nightmare. An Instagram post from Keene then triggered a ''brutal'' TheReasonYouSuckSpeech from [=McKinney=]; he tore into Keene for stealing their money, ripping off fans, blaming them for his poor live performances, costing the band a tour when he binged on dope and missed a flight, spending the self-storage money on drugs and getting their gear sold at auction, and recording his leads on "The Spiraling Void" note-by-note, because he couldn't play them. He concluded by telling Keene to take some responsibility for his many bad acts. Additional posts on the matter revealed that Sorceron and [=McKinney=] sacrificed an incredible amount of time, money, energy, and opportunities to try and make it work--they staged countless interventions, in which they desperately tried to talk Keene into rehab. All the while, [[TheFarmerAndTheViper Keene badmouthed them and told bold-faced lies behind their backs]]. To this day, [=McKinney=] still takes shots at Keene, mostly about songs that they never got to play live because Keene failed to learn his parts.

* GenrePopularizer: Along with Music/{{Necrophagist}}, Music/{{Obscura}}, and, to a far lesser degree, Music/DecrepitBirth, they were this for technical death metal. Prior to 2008, Necrophagist was the only real tech act with a major fanbase that was specific to them; while many people referred to acts like Music/{{Nile}}, Music/{{Suffocation}}, and Music/{{Cryptopsy}} as tech, their fanbases were predominately taken from the death metal scene as a whole. When ''Planetary Duality'' dropped, however, The Faceless very rapidly gained a fanbase specific to them that was explicitly drawn to the tech elements, and between that and Obscura's ''Cosmogenesis'' (which arrived a few months later), the tech scene and fanbase that would bloom in the 2010s was effectively created. It is safe to say that without their presence, the climate that allowed for bands like Music/{{Revocation}}, Music/BeyondCreation, Music/{{Fallujah}}, and Archspire to get big in the 2010s may have never emerged.
