Violence is hardly the first alternative metal release that manages to be melodic and blistering at the same time, but Nothingface does bring together a variety of influences in a fresh-sounding way.

Violence is a promising release from a band that seemingly has the necessary talent to take their music to the next level.

This album is the perfect example of how to make a great nu metal project: infectious and heavy riffs and an almost relentless intensity while still managing to be very melodic. It's dumb fun. I also find it surprising that Nothingface hasn't gotten as much recognition within the genre as other big groups and releases that are often seen as mediocre and/or terrible.

Criminally overlooked band. Nothingface is easily as good as SOAD and Deftones.

While prefer Skeletons more this album still showcases this band musical chops wonderfully.

It sounds similar to their previous album, but the tracks hit slightly harder. Although not my favourite Nothingface album - that title goes to their next and final album, Skeletons - Bleeder is a perfect song and in my opinion, the best in Nothingface's discography,

Violence was kind of a surprise to me. Nothingface's previous album didn't impress me that much, even though I didn't dislike it at all; on the other hand, this work ended up being a solid release, with only a few tracks that felt as if they were a bit off. Reviewing An Audio Guide to Everyday Atrocity I observed that Nothingface hinted a character of their own, even though not fully displaying it: I can definitely say that that character in Violence has been started developing ... read more
