Nails music video Let It All Hang Out
Little is known about extreme sonic terrorists Nails (and that's the way they like it) save that the trio hails from Southern California and consists of vocalist/guitarist Todd Jones (ex-Terror, Betrayed, Carry On, Snake Eyes, Internal Affairs), bassist John Gianelli, and drummer Taylor Young, and that their music takes hardcore to its illogically extreme conclusion (beyond grindcore, crustcore, etc.). So limited is the band's appeal, in fact, that their first two albums (if you can call them that, seeing as their ultra-brief songs add up to a mere 15-minutes in length, each), 2009's Obscene Humanity and 2010's Unsilent Death, were both issued in limited runs of 1,000 copies, before the latter gained wider distribution through a Southern Lord reissue. A third album, the hyper-intense and ultra-compact Abandon All Life, arrived on the label in 2013.
