The Gauntlet: Nothingface |

Nothingface emerged from Washington, DC in 1996 to the national eye by many accounts as the band to watch in the new aggro rock genre. Their debut CD "Pacifier" came out of no where on indie label DCide and crushed all listeners, riding CMJ's Loud chart for 23 weeks. Non-stop touring built the buzz the real way: by bringing a truly compelling live performance to fans across the country. Word spread fast of the cult-like devotion Nothingface's fans felt for the band. Nothingface toured extensively with Stuck Mojo and Tree, and also billed with Biohazard, Snot, Helmet, Kilgore, 24-7 Spyz, System of a Down, Karma to Burn, and Sam Black Church. Then Concrete's Walter O'Brien joined the team as the bands manager, adding them to his roster of Pantera and Anthrax.
Now, their follow up CD "an audio guide to Everyday Atrocity" is finished, and a new relationship between DCide and Mayhem brings the project up another notch with national distribution through ADA. "Everyday Atrocity" contains many of the same ingredients the Nothingface exhibited on "Pacifier": infectious grooves, monstrous riffs, inhuman drumming and Matts violent and disturbed signature vocals. But this record takes it a step further as the band digs deeper into the most terrible acts humans are capable of, and delivers the "Atrocity" with more force and anger, yet also with more melody and complex songwriting.
