The Change

Well, we've changed our name from Harlindon to Faceless Ones. With that, we had to create a new Facebook page. The reasons are simple enough, and since a lot of you have wondered why, here's the answer:

First off, we only made a new Facebook page because we really had no other choice. We ended up talking with the Facebook support line for a long time discussing how we could change it: what started with just a $99 fee for name change of the Harlindon page turned into $99 plus deleting all of your likes, which would be a waste of both the band and our followers’ time and resources. We chose to create a fresh start with the new page, which reflects the reasoning behind the new name as well.

The name Harlindon originated and continued as sort of a joke: for those of you who aren’t aware, it is the territory below Mithlond in the Northwestern region of Middle Earth, and therefore is Tolkein’s intellectual property. There is the possibility of us running into copyright issues down the line, at which point changing our name would have been even more turbulent. Of course, some have pointed out that there may not be any copyright issues at all, but that’s not the entire story.

As many of you know, we take our music and our goals very seriously: to change people’s lives through music is what we strive to do. Faceless Ones describes the condition of many people: searching for themselves, two-faced, unsure of who they are, insecure. Moreover, it exemplifies the constant effort for us to be better, unified, and a healthy community where one doesn’t have to put on a face, they can just be.

We are proud to become Faceless Ones, and we thank you for all of your continued support. We can’t wait to come at you with a lot of new stuff this summer, and we’re so thankful to have you along for the ride!
