Album Notes & Community Reviews
'Nothingface' is a landmark of avant-garde metal, marking Voivod's complete evolution from dissonant thrash into incredibly technical, complex progressive rock structures. The band weaves highly surreal, science fiction narratives through cryptic, off-kilter time signatures, resulting in a deeply alien and atmospheric masterwork.
