Setta and Palermo would handle the writing for the next release, a very rare 12" EP that was released on Japanese boutique label Big Love Records called Suns and Lovers. It was limited to 300 copies and the band's share was donated back to the label for a Tsunami Relief Charity.
The next release was the Downward Years to Come EP, which was recorded at the Rubber Tracks Studio in Brooklyn with Kyle "Slick" Johnson. The record was released by Baltimore Label A389 Records in November 2012. The record was written by Palermo and Setta. The concept behind Downward Years to Come was a dedication to several different poets who had taken their own lives.
Setta and Palermo would again head into the studio in 2013, this time with Jeff Zeigler at Uniform Recordings to write their first album and sign with Relapse Records. The debut album Guilty of Everything was released on March 4, 2014.
As a result of touring together, members of Nothing and the shoegaze band Whirr formed a gothic rock / post-punk side project called Death of Lovers. Nick Bassett, lead guitarist and songwriter of Whirr, joined Nothing as the bassist from 2014-2017. Aaron Heard is the current bassist for Nothing, joining the band in 2017.
Nothing released a Whirr / Nothing split November 17th, 2014 on Run for Cover Records. The second LP entitled Tired of Tomorrow was released May 13, 2016 on Relapse Records. The third LP Dance on the Blacktop was released August 24, 2018 on Relapse Records.
In early 2019, founding member Brandon Setta departed the group due to personal issues and was replaced by Cloakroom guitarist and vocalist, Doyle Martin. Nothing released their fourth album The Great Dismal via Relapse Records on October 30, 2020; the first to feature Doyle Martin as well as bassist Aaron Heard.

2) Nothing is a dark ambient / noise / experimental side-project of Jason William Walton (Agalloch, Especially Likely Sloth) with guest appearances from a few others on each new release.
Since the mid '90s they have released four albums, various compilation appearances and a few limited releases as well as a handful of live performances . Each release exploring a different theme, a different style and a different approach, and never being content with what they have achieved.
Becoming increasingly disillusioned with the experimental, noise and power electronics scene that Nothing found itself in, and after the Cobra-live-performance fiasco, Walton gave up on Nothing. In 2008 Walton said "2008 presents me with a new situation, and leaves me inspired. I am reinventing Nothing once again.."

We're lost in a Social Psycle world where a musician is now defined as a dude who smacks some keys on his Β£1000 Apple Mac.

Zero Day
Nothing Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Starts the same
Infinity
Oblivion
Light abandons me
Exhale sky
Swallow vanity
Unspeakable mistrust
Motionless
Migration of dust
Blood that binds
Oxygen and time
Beautiful
Rarest plague
Light abandons me
I guess
I wasn't meant to see
Hostage of
Unspeakable mistrust
Motionless
Emotionless
Empire of rust
Feverish children
In the Lion's Den
Gather them all
Empty sky of everlasting misfortune
The Harvest is dead
In the song "Zero Day" by Nothing, the lyrics suggest a sense of hopelessness and powerlessness in the face of life's inevitable end. The song starts by highlighting the cyclical nature of existence, that everything starts and ends the same way. The line "Infinity, Oblivion" suggests that life is infinite but ultimately leads to oblivion, or nothingness.
The second verse talks about the feeling of being abandoned by light, a metaphor for hope or positivity, and the act of exhaling the sky, indicating a sense of futility. The line "Swallow vanity" suggests that the singer is aware of their own illusions and self-delusions, and are trying to come to terms with them. The following line "Hostage of Unspeakable mistrust" paints a picture of being stuck in a state of paranoia, unable to trust others or even oneself. The phrase "Migration of dust" refers to the transitory nature of all things and the insignificance of human existence in the grand scheme of things.
The final verse uses the metaphor of "Blood that binds, Oxygen and time" to connect humans with the natural world and the forces that give us life. The line "beautiful, rarest plague" is a paradox, suggesting that life is both beautiful and dangerous, like a disease that we cannot resist. The chorus repeats the line "Hostage of Unspeakable mistrust" to show that the sense of paranoia and isolation is pervasive and inescapable. The final line "The Harvest is dead" is a bleak metaphor for the end of human existence, as all that was once fruitful and alive has withered away and died.

NOTHINGβs third full-length recording, Dance On The Blacktop, is the next chapter in the bandβs tumultuous story and like its predecessors, pulls from all corners of life with a focus on the bleak and despairing. Captured by renowned producer John Agnello (Sonic Youth, Dinosaur Jr., Kurt Vile) at Dreamland Studio in Woodstock, NY, Dance On The Blacktop is a stirring collection of songs accentuating the bandβs love for all sounds 90s from both sides of the pond; from alternative rock and shoegaze to the realms of pop and post-punk. Across the course of 45 minutes, NOTHING weave together nine tales of heightened confusion, anxiety, paranoia, depression and chronic pain juxtaposed against angelic yet apocalyptic, reverberating walls of shimmering sound. Dance On The Black Top is a fervent, emotional tour-de-force, the sound of a band at the peak of their individuality.
@ssaviah
it's awesome
@dstutz
Why does this track sound so muffled? Sounds like a poor mastering job, or was it intentional?
@wadeofearth
That is such a wonderful description of this album and their music in general. It really makes you feel like you are not alone and like someone truly understands. I have followed them since "Downward Years To Come" and I can without a doubt say they are one of my favorite creations in this world.
@MatryxMayhem
Nothings song βDigβ helped me get through 11 months of prison. I didnβt even know who wrote the song at the time but it was my anchor. Iβd sing it in my head on the days I was feeling like I couldnβt pull through. I still do it now being free. It took me almost a month after getting out to find your band. Iβm glad I did.
@FetalJuice88
Why you go to prison bud

I'm so happy that you've found comfort in music, man. I hope that you can live your life to the fullest now, kudos to you.
