Nothingface is an alternative metal/heavy metal quartet formed in Washington, D.C. in 1994.

Nothingface were often compared musically to Slipknot and other stars of the alternative metal genre. The band was notable for, particularly in earlier albums, extensive use of odd time signatures, polyrhythmic syncopation, and at times mixing in samples of dialogue or other recordings.

Nothingface was originally comprised of vocalist David Gabbard, guitarist Tommy Maxwell, drummer Chris Houck and bassist Bill Gaal. They released 3 demo tapes with this lineup, then Gabbard left the band. At this point Matt Holt started singing for the group. They then recorded a demo CD, which contained demos of 6 tracks which would later be on the album Pacifier and 4 tracks which wouldn't.

Pacifier was originally released in 1996 on Dcide Records. It was then re-released August 11, 1998 on Dcide/Mayhem Records. September 22, 1998 An Audio Guide To Everyday Atrocity was released on Dcide/Mayhem. October 10, 2000 saw the release of their national debut Violence through TVT records. Chris Houck recorded drums for this album, and then left the group, being replaced by Tommy Sickles (of ingredient 17 fame). In early 2001 Bill Gaal left the group to pursue a career in music production & engineering. He was replaced by Jerry Montano. A few months later Bill Gaal returned to his position as bassist. On April 22, 2003 Skeletons was released through TVT records. This would be their last album on that label.

The group disbanded on February 10,2004, citing musical differences, turmoil, and label troubles. Bill Gaal went on to form Kingdom of Snakes with former members of the band Gunfighter. Their debut EP features vocal work from Matt Holt on one track. Tommy Maxwell and Tommy Sickles were in the band Blessed In Black featuring ex-Skrape vocalist, Billy Keeton as well as Jerry Montano on bass. However Billy left the band, leaving them without a vocalist...


November 24th, 2005 A posting on Jagermeister.com has showed Nothingface as the opening act for Disturbed in a 2006 show. The lineup for this show (and current lineup of the band) consists of Matt Holt, Tommy Maxwell, Tommy Sickles & Jerry Montano.

Recently the website www.officialnothingface.com has appeared with a flash intro and new songs. The Envy/News page states, "NOTHINGFACE AND JAGERMUSIC ANNOUNCE U.S TOUR DATES - Nothingface will be hitting the road beginning Feb 11th in Baltimore, MD. This guerrilla style club tour will be the first string of Nothingface dates since Ozzfest 2003. It will be the ONLY chance for fans to catch the band live in an intimate setting before NF returns to Maryland to continue writing and recording demos for their next record."
