Nothingface - Violence
Reviewed by grant
For those that have kept up with antics of Nothingface in the past years, you'll be pleased with their latest release, "Violence". For those that heard their single, "Bleeder" on the airwaves, and are thinking about picking up something new, you may find "Violence" to be satisfying as well. Nothingface has kept true to the sound that first got them out there, combining raw and powerful heavy rock, with choruses that ease up into melody, and vocal harmonies are not scarce. In this release, Nothingface surely cleans up everything they tear up, making for an interesting collection of tunes, and it's made obvious these guys have been together for years. They turn corners like it's one guy making all the music. For those that like the thick guitar and slam-drum sound of Sevendust, and don't have a problem with groove core vocal verses and super-melodic choruses, you'll love the disc. The guitar and vocals are catchy (but not too catchy), and the drummer could not hold it all together any better. Good breaks, every song is different (always a good thing), and it's just the right length. [www.nothingface.com]
