Nails

About

Nails: a sonic bludgeon disguised as a band. Hailing from Oxnard, California, this quartet delivers a ruthless strain of extreme metal that's as abrasive as it is effective. Nails doesn't just play metal; they weaponize it. Their sound is a brutal fusion of powerviolence, grindcore, and death metal, compressed into furious, often sub-two-minute bursts. Imagine the raw, unbridled aggression of early Converge colliding head-on with the crushing weight of Obituary. Nails distilled this maelstrom into a concentrated sonic punch, carving out a unique niche within the extreme metal landscape. Formed in 2007 by vocalist/guitarist Todd Jones, Nails quickly ascended from underground obscurity to become a respected force. Their 2013 album, *Abandon All Life*, proved to be a breakthrough, earning critical acclaim for its unrelenting intensity and uncompromising vision. Subsequent releases like *You Will Never Be One of Us* (2016) cemented their status. Though periods of inactivity and lineup changes have occurred, the core vision remains. Nails' cultural impact lies in their refusal to compromise. They offer no quarter, no melody, just pure, distilled rage. Their music provides an outlet for primal frustration, resonating with listeners who crave sonic catharsis. While collaborations are few, their influence can be heard in a new generation of extreme metal bands. Currently, Nails has hinted at new material, leaving fans eagerly anticipating their next aural assault. Expect nothing less than total sonic devastation.
