Starting with the fairly simple Kornesque nu-metal of their debut album "Pacifier," Nothingface's subsequent releases have become simultaneously heavier, more diverse, more creative, and more progressive. "Violence" gracefully transcends the boundaries of the nu-metal movement, with elements of thrash, death, and progressive metal thrown in. Singer Matt Holt expertly combines melodic singing with almost death-like growling, and the band manages to keep pace with his frequent vocal shifts. Tom Maxwell's guitar work is superb, with plenty of crunching riffs that often turn back the clock to the thrash days. The rhythm section places more emphasis on heaviness than on precision, creating a crushing bottom end to complement the technicality of Maxwell's riffing. As for the songs themselves, they're generally excellent. "Make Your Own Bones" sets the mood at the outset with throat-ripping vocals and absolutely crushing guitars. "Bleeder" places melodic vocals over a heavy musial background, and "Blue Skin" shifts perfectly from growling to singing (Holt's singing voice is actually even scarier than his growling). There are other great songs on this album, but I've prattled on for long enough. So in conclusion, GET THIS ALBUM! Arguably the best of 2000.
