NOTHINGFACE Working On 'Epic' New Record

September 3, 2008

The original NOTHINGFACE lineup — Matt Holt (vocals),Bill Gaal (bass),Chris Houck (drums) and Tom Maxwell (guitar; also in HELLYEAH) — regrouped earlier this 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: "I've been working with my brothers in NOTHINGFACE, trying to get this new record finished. The big problem right now is that we are all living in different parts of the country, so we can't get together as often as we would like like. But to all 'The Sick' out there, don't worry, we've got a pretty epic record in the works and this is probably the first time since 'An Audio Guide to Everyday Atrocity' [1998] that we are all really on the same page about what we're trying to accomplish. It should be pretty amazing!"

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.
