Nails Live Footage Makes Us Want to Pummel Faces

I was out of town for the Nails show at Saint Vitus Bar in Brooklyn last Friday night, but this Metal Injection footage of their performance is making me wish I’d switched my flights around just to witness the mayhem in person. The band has a reputation as an absolutely fierce live act — which makes sense given how visceral and raw their music is — but seeing is believing, and just a few seconds into this video I was already hooked. Not shown: the audience, which I’m sure was in an absolute frenzy.

Abandon All Life is out now on Southern Lord. You can stream the entire album here and purchase it here.
