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.

- Bleeder

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
