Nothingface was a four-piece metal band from Washington, D.C. that formed in 1994. Notedfor having graphic lyrics, polyrhythmic songs, and occasionally touching on political themes in their later works, the band achieved moderate success, as evidenced by their 2001 single "Bleeder" peaking at number 32 on the U.S. Mainstream Rock Chart and touring with high-profile acts such as Soulfly, Pantera, and Ministry, as well as the Tattoo the Earth and Ozzfest 2003 tours.
