'''''An Audio Guide to Everyday Atrocity''''' is the second album by the [[Washington, D.C.]]–based [[alternative metal]] band [[Nothingface (band)|Nothingface]]. The album was released on September 22, 1998, via [[DCide]]/Mayhem Records.

== Musical style ==
The main guitar riff from "I, Diablo" originally appeared in "Prayer", an early Nothingface song from their 1994 demo ''Braid''.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.nothingfacelive.com/Demo1994.htm |title=Nothingface Demo 1994 |publisher= |accessdate=December 7, 2015 |url-status=bot: unknown |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20100707133232/http://www.nothingfacelive.com/Demo1994.htm |archivedate=July 7, 2010 }}</ref> The song "Breathe Out" had also been performed earlier in 1997, while the band were touring in support of their debut ''[[Pacifier (Nothingface album)|Pacifier]]''. The album's sound has been compared in the media to bands such as [[Clutch (band)|Clutch]],<ref name="citypaper">{{cite web|url=http://www2.citypaper.com/music/review.asp?rid=7475|title=Home - Baltimore City Paper|author=Jake Carlo|publisher=|accessdate=September 25, 2014}}</ref> [[Helmet (band)|Helmet]]<ref name="citypaper"/> and [[Pantera]],<ref name="citypaper"/> unlike their debut ''Pacifier'', which mainly drew comparisons to the band [[Korn]].
