EP Review: The Holy Nothing – Vol 1: A Profound and Nameless Fear (Self Released)

Carl Fisher 1 min read

Hailing from Fort Wayne, Indiana, The Holy Nothing stands as a beacon for fans seeking an audacious fusion of stoner metal, grunge, and desert rock. On November 17th, 2023, they will release their debut EP ‘Vol 1: A Profound and Nameless Fear’.

One listen to Vol 1: A Profound and Nameless Fear and it’s no surprise that The Holy Nothing cite the likes of Red Fang, Baroness, and Queens of the Stone Age as inspirations. Yet, their love of all things Converge and Every Time I Die is what really makes this debut EP something special.

Yes, it has got stoner elements blended with desert rock, features plenty of groove, and creative twists and turns. Yet, it also has an accessibility that is often warped by a certain amount of chaos. They might not play ‘punk rock’ but they have a similar ethos.

It’s an EP of erratic and emphatic noise, that just so happens to be impressively infectious. All five of the EP’s offerings showcase different layers of The Holy Nothing’s talents and it makes for an earnest listen. Even more so, when you pay attention to the lyrical content and start to pick up some of the nuances of their story-telling. It’s deeper than you think, but it also doesn’t take away from the good time most will have rocking out to this excellent debut EP.
