The original NOTHINGFACE lineup — Matt Holt (vocals), Bill Gaal (bass), Chris Houck (drums) and Tom Maxwell (guitar; also in HELLYEAH) — regrouped earlier this year and started writing and recording music for a new album. This marked the first time the band's original members had worked together as a unit since NOTHINGFACE's "Violence" record in 2000.

Gaal has since issued the following update:

"Alright, here's the deal... We've got a few surprises in the works for 2009. Hopefully we will be able to start rolling them out at the beginning of the year! We are hard at work on a new record, but that is always a long process with NOTHINGFACE, and it's not made any easier by the fact that we all live all over the country now... but its coming together and its going to be killer. We are getting together in February for an extended writing session. We'll try to get some video up from that as well."

NOTHINGFACE's fourth album, "Skeletons", was released in April 2003 via TVT Records. The group disbanded in February 2004, citing musical differences, internal turmoil and label troubles. NOTHINGFACE reformed a year later with the lineup of Matt Holt, Tom Maxwell, Jerry Montano (bass) and Tommy Sickles (drums) and went on to do a small U.S. club tour before Maxwell and Montano launched the HELLYEAH project with former PANTERA drummer Vinnie Paul Abbott and members of MUDVAYNE.
