Once Nothing is a self-proclaimed "Blue Collar Metal" band from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and is currently signed to Solid State Records. They mix southern metal with metalcore and often use breakdowns and melodic riffs. Although some of their lyrics have Christian meaning, they do not consider themselves to be a Christian band. The band was formed in 2000. In describing the concept of “blue-collar metal,” vocalist Todd Lowry explains, “Our mentality now and in the past has always been to tour as much as is humanly possible and show people what this is all about.” The band proceeded to play nearly 500 shows in the past two years alone.
