NOTHINGFACE Hits The Studio

February 18, 2009

The original NOTHINGFACE lineup — Matt Holt (vocals),Bill Gaal (bass),Chris Houck (drums) and Tom Maxwell (guitar; also in HELLYEAH) — regrouped last year and started writing and recording music for a new album. This marked the first time the band's original members had worked together as a unit since NOTHINGFACE's "Violence" record in 2000.

Gaal says: "The band is at Wrightway Studios in Baltimore, Maryland for the next two weeks writing and recording. We are [also] putting the finishing touches on the re-release of our very first album (pre-'Pacifier' [1997])!! This was the one that started it all and got us our first record deal. It's been re-mastered and the new artwork is almost finished (it's SICK!!!). We are working out a deal for a limited-edition 'vinyl' release of the album as well, so get ready."

NOTHINGFACE's fourth album, "Skeletons", was released in April 2003 via TVT Records. The group disbanded in February 2004, citing musical differences, internal turmoil and label troubles. NOTHINGFACE reformed a year later with the lineup of Matt Holt, Tom Maxwell, Jerry Montano (bass) and Tommy Sickles (drums) and went on to do a small U.S. club tour before Maxwell and Montano launched the HELLYEAH project with former PANTERA drummer Vinnie Paul Abbott and members of MUDVAYNE.
