"Germany's Betrayal began in 2005 and have been quietly honing their sophisticated brand of technical melodic death metal.

Nothing Posts "A.C.D." Video
Philadelphia's Nothing just premiered a new animated music video for the track "A.C.D. (Abscessive Compulsive Disorder)." The video is a dark homage to Dire Straits' classic "Money For Nothing" clip and can be seen below. Nothing guitarist/vocalist Domenic Palermo elaborates:
