The Faceless Drop Off European Tour with Protest the Hero and The Contortionist

Hey man, listen: intestinal issues get the best of all of us from time to time. Just last night Axl was farting up a storm during a lunchtime visit to the Metal Injection Flophouse after we ordered burritos for lunch — how embarrassing!

It’s just quite unfortunate that Michael Keene’s roddy bottom had to act up right before The Faceless’s planned European tour with Protest the Hero and The Contortionist, forcing Evan Brewer and Alex Rudinger to quit the band without enough time for Keene to line-up replacements. Here’s a statement that Lambgoat picked up from Protest the Hero’s label (although we can’t find the original source) announcing that The Faceless won’t be able to make it:

Due to internal band issues, The Faceless have been forced to drop off the upcoming Protest The Hero tour commencing next Friday November 14th in Leipzig, Germany. Replacing The Faceless on the tour will be longtime Protest The Hero friends The Safety Fire. All scheduled dates will be played and The Contortionist will continue to be on all shows.

No statement has been released by The Faceless yet on the matter as of the time this article is being written.

All flatulence humor aside, we love The Faceless here at MS and hope Keene can right his ship as soon as possible.
