Hello there.. now I know that most people don't know anything about the great band NothingFace.
General Information
Well I think the "about" section of there website says it the best: "Washington, DC-based quartet Nothingface has made a name for themselves combining some of the most extreme sounds known to man with some of the most harmonious. Their muscular, jagged riffs, pounding rhythms and vocal mayhem give way to blissful sounds that defy a currently vapid state of heavy music. Call it versatility or schizophrenia, Nothingface's ability to make the leap from the melodic to the brutal and back again is what makes them one of the most intriguing rock bands around."
Unforunately, NothingFace is no where near the fame they should have. They recently released their forth album, "Skeletons". Their other albums consist of "Pacifier"(1995), "An Audio Guide to Everyday Audacity"(1998) and "Violence(2000)", I highly Suggest them all. Join the ranks of the Sick.
Members
Matt Holt - Screams, Threats, Curses and Verses
Bill Gaal - Bass, noises, samples, and keyboards
Tom Maxwell - Guitar "molestationz"
Tommy Sickles - Drums and Precussion
Scores
Guitar: 7/10 : may not be the most complex or technical difficult but still kick ass.. the only thing I would like to see more of is solos, there's only like maybe one or two out of all there songs.
Bass: 6/10 : The bassist mainly plays the root notes of the guitar riffs, not that there is anything wrong with that.. Though the bassist also does all the keyboards, samples, and any other weird sounds that are in the songs.. (much like myself)
Drums: 8/10 : The both drummers was/is insane.. I can't really elabborate that anymore.. The orignal quit right after "Violence" was released.
Vocals: 9/10 : Matt Holt is one of the best vocalist and lyric writer ever to live. His stupidily sick ablity to change from a nice triquil voice to a heavy scream is nearly unrivaled. and on top of that, the lyrics are some of the most beautiful, distrubling honest and real lyrics put out by any true artist to date. For Example: from the song "I Am Him" that appears on Skeletons.
"It’s like a needle
A kind of evil
If you’re the devil
It’s very simple
You never needed anyone
You never needed anything
The pinnacle of ignorance
Epitomy of dissidence
Yeah, you’re faceless
And kind of useless
But that’s all pointless
Because I’m faithless "
(I didn't want to post whole songs.. they're to long..)
OverAll: 7.5 which is very high by my standards..
I highly recomend you checking out NothingFace:
if you're a serious modren musicain,
fed up with all the bull nuts bands,
love heavy metal,
need an escape from life in general,
and if your starting to become a metal listener (listening to only popular metal like slipknot or staind.. stuff like that..).
