"An Audio Guide To Everyday Atrocity" is the full album title from "Nothingface," and it definitely is an informative one. I never realized how much anger and violence a single band could possess until I heard this. "Nothingface" was nothing at all as I had first imagined. I immediately thought of "Voi Vod's" record of a few years ago, and this one blows its doors off, believe me. Even after hearing it twice in a row, I still couldn't pick out one particular point where it didn't give me a violent reaction.

I was listening to it so loudly, all I kept thinking was, "Let me out of this car so I can run through the streets screaming obscenities and damn us all to hell…" The album actually played through pretty quick, and in attempting to draw comparisons to other better known aggro-rock groups, "Kilgore" and "Fear Factory" quickly came to mind, though it's about 80% one way and 20 the other. The song structures noticeably follow the same courses where they'll begin with psychotic vocal strains and disturbed guitar riffing before leading to the pre-chorus and segueing into a gentler backing vocal harmony before returning to the onslaught. Eight of the nine tracks could easily make up one entire song, and there is little room to breathe from one beginning to end until we get to "Sleeper" at the middle section, where they stop to take a "rest."

"Everyday Atrocity" is one album that needs to be heard several times over, and hear everything before really making an honest judgement, and upon doing so, it's a pretty good recording. If your mental makeup includes a lack of patience, and you listen to it only once, a song or two will hook you in, but you won't pick up on the rest.
