The masterpiece of Nothingface
While it is only nine songs long, every one comes together to form one cohesive metal monster. This is probably their least accessible album because it is very heavy and it may not be the easiest one to start with, but it is universally agreed to be their masterpiece. Nothingface destroys the boundaries of what heavy music can be, and creates their own distinct sound that is instantly recognizable. Matt Holt is one of the best vocalists around. They receive my highest recommendation.


BEST GROUP EVER...SERIOUSLY.
I found Nothingface by accident one day looking for music to download. I am not going to write an in depth review, I am just going to express my opinion of this amazing group. I figured I would give them a try, since I am SO picky when it comes to music. When I first listened to their music, I was blown away. These guys will rock your face off. They have a VERY dark and heavy sound, not the heaviest sound, but they have an amazing combo of great voals and great instrumentals. I would also like to add that Nothingface is NOT dead, in fact they will be releasing another album some time this year. If you like music that isn't like everything else out therem and if you like heavy, dark music, I HIGHLY recommend Nothingface.


A Classic...R.I.P. Nothingface 1995-2004
I paid 17 bucks for this. . I normally don't pay over ten bucks for CD's, but I couldn't find this used, as a lot of people like Nothingface, so I bought it for 17 bucks. None of those 17 bucks were wasted. You are probably thinking that Nothingface is "yet another nu metal band". Wrong. Nothingface, unlike many of the carbon copies, know how to deliver some brutal stuff. These tracks are all classics. "Breathe Out", "Goldtooth" and "So Few" are the best tracks on this CD, along with "Grinning", "The Sick" and "I, Diablo". I recommend this for people like me who don't necessary like nu metal, but they like the stuff by artists such as Helmet, Vision Of Disorder, Earth Crisis, Will Haven and Killswitch Engage. I guarantee that you will not waste a minute of your time. Calling this "nu metal" would be an insult. This is just straight forward metal. .


another masterpiece
oh and btw ryan, korn is good, but nothingface is 10x better than korn and killswitch engage combined are. ignore klauscore as he listens to limp bizkit and kid rock so his opinion means jack. so you might as well live with that fact, step out of your dream world and listen to some nothingface, but this time, with an open mind. .


Nothingface might be gone but their legacy lives
In case you haven't figured it out, I'm talking about Nothingface. What happens in America when a band proves time and time again they are the top of their class? Fame? Fortune? Respect? Unfortunatly not, what's more likely to happen is that they will be screwed over by their label, ignored for bands with 1/1000000 of their talent and then finally when it seems like their about to get a break, get dropped from their tour and label and have to quit because they just can't stand it anymore. Who called it quits about a month ago. Enough of my b^tching about the American music scene though and onto the review.

Everday Atrocity is one of the only true gems produced in America and one of the most intense records ever. As far as this compares to the rest of the Nothingface catalog, I would say it's the best or shares that title with Skeletons. Somewhat lackluster production takes away from this a bit but not in a major way. Matt Holt sings/screams with an intensity somewhat lacking on later efforts and this is undoubtably his best performance ever. The guitars are nothing exceptional which is somewhat expected of this kind of straight forward music. You won't hear a million solos per minute or a hundred different genres crammed into a 40 minute song but they definitly know how to write riffs that add to the intensity of the album. The rhythem section holds very well in that somehow they make the insane intensity of this album catchy. If you like Slipknot, Fear Factory, Killswitch Engage, Shadows Fall, Strapping Young Lad, God Forbid or any of the other bands that blend hardcore with singing vocals then you owe it to yourself to check out this album. If you haven't already, I recommend checking out the bands mentioned above in addition to this.

R. I. P. Nothingface.
