Their distinctive blend of hardcore punk, grindcore, powerviolence, and death metal - with extremely short song durations (most under two minutes) and uncompromising sonic intensity - has positioned them as one of the most influential contemporary hardcore\/grindcore bands. Their three full-length albums Unsilent Death (2010), Abandon All Life (2013), and You Will Never Be One of Us (2016) were all produced by Kurt Ballou (Converge). The band has been inactive since 2016, with fan and critical anticipation of any subsequent material.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSound and style\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eNails's sound combines hardcore punk, grindcore, powerviolence, death metal, sludge metal, and crust punk with Jones's distinctive growled vocal delivery, extremely fast tempos with slow-tempo breakdowns, and uncompromising contemporary metallic hardcore production approaches (Kurt Ballou production aesthetic).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDiscography highlights\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eObscene Humanity EP (2009, self-released)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnsilent Death (2010, Streetcleaner\/Southern Lord)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAbandon All Life (2013, Southern Lord)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou Will Never Be One of Us (2016, Nuclear Blast)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFor collectors\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eStreetcleaner, Southern Lord, and Nuclear Blast pressings of the Nails catalog have been issued in multiple color variant editions, with collector demand.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhere to start\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eListeners new to Nails typically start with You Will Never Be One of Us (2016) or Abandon All Life (2013). \u003cspan class=\"related-collections\"\u003eExplore more: \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/punk-new-wave-vinyl-records\"\u003ePunk \u0026amp; New Wave\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/metal-vinyl-records\"\u003eMetal\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"nails-you-will-never-be-one-of-us-vinyl-translucent-green","title":"You Will Never Be One of Us LP","description":"\u003cp\u003eSHIPS 2\/28\/25 - The 2025 repress of the blistering Nail's full length \"You Will Never Be One of Us\".
