THE FACELESS Guitarist Calls Out 100 ONCES for Ripping off “Planetary Duality”

by Ryan Minic | Mar 20, 2015

Back six months ago when we premiered the 100 Onces song “Etch-a-Sketch Orchestra,” a few voices spoke out that said the guitar riff bore a striking resemblance to The Faceless’ track “Planetary Duality.”

Well apparently The Faceless mastermind Michael Keene isn’t too happy about it, at least according to his recent comments on YouTube, stating that the band plagiarized his 2008 track “Planetary Duality I: Hideous Revelation.”

Keene said, “I remember this song when I wrote it in 2008 and it was called Planetary Duality. Whatever. Its flattering i guess.”

What do you think? Here’s a stream of both tracks.

100 Onces’ response? “LOLOLOL”
