If Jeremy (or anyone) wants to spend their hard earned money on vinyl (or anything) and it brings them joy, good for them.
Super group and first song in 18 years. Members of Shai Hulud, Morning Again and Culture. Damien is the original singer of Shai Hulud before Chad joined.
Will never forget seeing Xibalba and Nails in a bar the size of a living room and how terrifying that was lol
Surprisingly I’ve only seen Nails once but it was with Dillinger Escape Plan on an ankle high stage. Total disregard for anyone’s safety that night.
The last time I saw them, Gatecreeper opened, and Todd kept screaming about they were “real deal chicken McNuggets with barbecue sauce death metal”
They are from my neck of the woods. The singer used to be in a straight edge hardcore band called Abolition, and the guitarist Max was in a band called Broken Teeth.
RE: Recent conversations Seeing Nails go from playing a 200 cap room to selling out a 700 cap room in Chicago in a matter of a couple years was a real mindfuck for me at the time. Especially when the lineups went from Nails/Full of Hell/God's Hate/Eternal Sleep/GAZZAN to Nails/Toxic Holocaust/Harm's Way/Gatecreeper/Like Rats. I've probably spent way too much on vinyl over the years and have 200+ records now. I need to inventory them to see what I've got, but that's not happening any time soon. But yeah, that's all I got to contribute right now.
I think the intermittent touring that they do certainly helps. People know that they’re not just always going to be able to catch them in their city year after year
Now let's just hope Todd stays off social media for the rest of his life and focuses on making music. Nails was a lot better of a band to me before his toddler-like rants last year.
