Nothing is the second EP by Diatribe, released on October 19, 1992, by Re-Constriction Records.[1][2]
Music
Recording for Nothing began after the band released Therapy in 1991 for Eight One Nine Productions and COP International.[3] When asked about how Lee Popa and Nivek Ogre become involved with the production of Nothing, Kevin Marburg stated:
It was just through this weird connections of friends who hang out with some weird people in Chicago. One of my friends, who is a skateboarder went on a Ministry tour and met Lee. He happened to bring along a tape of Diatribe material and he played it for Lee. Lee liked our music a lot and he came out to California to help us out because he felt that we had some potential. He also brought Ogre along to help out whom he had met during the Ministry tour as well. We've been friends with both of them ever since.[4]
The band released several songs from the EP to various artists compilations for promotion.
Reception
Fabryka Music Magazine gave the album three out of four possible stars and recommended the album for enthusiasts of early 90's industrial rock.[8] Sonic Boom gave both Diatribe's debut release and Nothing a positive review, saying "Diatribe has at least as much talent as the rest of their label mates."[9]
