Lyrics to Violence

With a nihilistic CD title and band name, you'd expect Nothingface to be heavy, serious, and dark. And you'd be correct. The Washington, D.C.-based band, however, is not really nu metal. In fact, Nothingface displays a kinship to Trouble and King's X, thanks to wonderfully complex and layered production and a taught progressive-rock musicality. Which isn't to say Nothingface aren't modern; thanks to in-your-face aggression and ferocity, they're definitely mosh-pit worthy. From "Make Your Own Bones," where singer Matt Holt takes on a fierce, growling death-metal timbre to the more melodic "Bleeder" and "Filthy," the vocals and instrumentation segue smoothly from melodic interludes to raging, head-banging segments, often within one song. With their third album, Nothingface have created a creative, cohesive, diverse breakthrough. --Katherine Turman
