Faces of Death is the debut studio album by American Hip Hop group B.O.N.E. Enterpri$e. The album was originally released on May 28, 1993, on Stoney Burke, the independent label of Kermit Henderson, a record store owner in Cleveland who helped the band to record the album.[1] A verse from the first 1991 local radio single, titled "Flow Motion", was performed over the phone by member, Krayzie Bone, leading to 4 of the 5 members meeting up with Eazy-E and getting them signed to Ruthless Records. A digitally remastered version was released in 1995 after the band had signed with Eazy-E and changed their name to Bone Thugs-n-Harmony.

The album introduced the group's unique new style of rapping in harmony, alternating singing and rapping, with layered harmonies of spoken rap.[2]
