Band Bio

Nothingness, Minneapolis-based purveyors of Digressive Death, create music as an honest expression of extremity. What results is a cauldron of metallics, melodies, rhythms, and atmospheres that reflect the personal experiences and emotions of its creators.

The band formed in 2018 with the goal of making something that is true to their own tastes, talents, and with no preconceived notions for structure. Nothingness has previously honed their craft on two full-length albums: 'The Hollow Gaze of Death' (2019, Independent) and 'Supraliminal' (2023, Everlasting Spew Records).

Their third full-length record, Godslaughter, is being released July 31st through Everlasting Spew Records and is poised to be the band's most direct and aggressive work to date. The band once again worked with their longstanding engineer of choice, and local Minneapolis sound freak, Adam Tucker of Signaturetone Recording, with guest appearances from Gabri of Cosmic Putrefaction and Brendan of Altars and Convulsing.
